Lucy Railton's debut album, 'Blue Veil,' captures the intense moment of a cello bow hitting the strings, likened to a miniature Big Bang. In an interview, Railton described playing as akin to standing next to a guitar amplifier, emphasizing the vibrational power of her instrument. Recorded in a Parisian church, the album distills pure cello sound, stripping it of traditional components to create an immersive experience. Railton, an established figure in the avant-garde scene, co-produced this project with Kali Malone and Stephen O'Malley, drawing comparisons to their collaborative works.
Lucy Railton's new album Blue Veil isolates the moment when a cello's bow makes contact with the strings and presents it as a miniature Big Bang.
This is Railton's first solo cello album, but she's been a regular presence in the classical avant-garde for a while.
