Berlin and London-based cellist Lucy Railton has been an active performer, music producer and composer for over a decade, releasing albums on Modern Love, Editions Mego — GRM Portraits, PAN with Peter Zinovieff, and Takuroku.
Having emerged from a long-term engagement with classical and contemporary music, her practice exists between modern instrumentalism, electroacoustic composition, improvisation and expressive musique concrète. Over the years Railton has engaged with a range of interdisciplinary collaborations, and tours internationally as a solo performer or in collaboration with musicians and artists from a range of disciplines, most recently Rebecca Salvadori, Farida Amadou, Catherine Lamb, Kali Malone, Khyam Allami, Kit Downes and Stephen O’Malley. In 2016, Railton presented Unknown in collaboration with Russell Haswell, a Sonic Acts commissioned work drawing on the pair’s time in the industrial and natural surroundings of the Barents Region.
