Acclaimed musician and composer at the intersection of classical and contemporary music, Lucy Railton unveils her first release documenting her works for solo cello, Blue Veil, a set of deeply intimate and meditative compositions recorded at the Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris by Kali Malone & Stephen O’Malley.
Blue Veil arises out of, is sustained in and finally dissolves back into Railton’s momentary presence with her intimate connection to the cello, a way of hearing that allows for a deeper engagement with harmonic resonance, one that opens a space for immediate encounters of mind and sound.
Railton’s exploratory practice of harmonic perception emerges from a focus on the physical qualities of intervallic and chordal sounds, their textural qualities, degrees of friction, and inner pulsations. Composing in the moment guided by resonances within the cello’s body, her own, and their shared vibrational space, Railton moves through Blue Veil by giving sounds what they ask for: sounds of pure texture manifesting as a move through temporal transparency, sounds of rough texture marking regions of dimensionally dense space.

On 9 April Lucy Railton will perform the world premiere of "Blue Veil" on April 9 at the Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris, where the album was recorded.
