Lucy Railton

Cellist Lucy Railton has been a dedicated member of London’s new music scene since 2008, establishing the series Kammer Klang that year and co-founding the London Contemporary Music Festival in 2013. She released her debut album Paradise 94 in 2018. Emerging from a long-term engagement with contemporary music, her recent work exists between modern instrumentalism, hard-edged electronic composition and expressive musique concrète. Paradise 94 continues her investigations into the acoustic and synthesised capacities of her instrument, merging the cello with archival recordings that narrate an autobiographical journey through layers of musique concrète, sampled organ, euphoric synths, industrial noise and speech, constructing a moving mass of sound that morphs and restructures itself, in search of a vividness that traverses saturated and light-headed states. Her expansive and variegated interests have led to collaborations with the likes of Peter Zinovieff, Kit Downes, Beatrice Dillon and Kali Malone.
