silent green presents
Lucy Railton
Lucy Railton is a British cellist, composer, cross-disciplinary collaborator whose practice reflects an endlessly innovative and restless approach to the cello and artistic self-expression. For the last two decades, her work has moved freely between Classical and contemporary music, electronic composition, improvisation and pop music performance.
Beyond her solo work, she has contributed to major works with artists including Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith, Akram Khan, Philippe Parreno, Kali Malone and Stephen O’Malley, Peter Zinovieff, Maryanne Amacher, Laurel Halo, Beatrice Dillon and many others, as well as writing for dance, film and visual art installations.
Her first release of solo cello works, Blue Veil, is a deeply intimate, meditative set of compositions recorded at Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris. The album invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance, states made manifest through Railton’s careful traversal of her cello's most subtle acoustic characteristics.
