Lucy Railton

 
British cellist Lucy Railton is also a performer and co-founder of the London Contemporary Music Festival. Heiress of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) (GRM) created by Pierre Schaeffer in 1958, her experimental music with electroacoustic sounds is inspired by the work of Beatriz Ferreyra, Bernard Parmegiani, Iannis Xenakis, Guy Reibel and François Bayle, after whom she pushes back the limits of normality. Emerging from a long-term engagement with contemporary music, her work exists between modern instrumentalism, hard-edged electronic composition and expressive musique concrète.
Her expansive and variegated interests have led to countless collaborations and international appearances, inclulding with inventor and electronic music pioneer Peter Zinovieff, pianist Kit Downes, producer Beatrice Dillon and composer Kali Malone. Railton regularly performs works by composers such as Alvin Lucier, Iannis Xenakis, Morton Feldman and Pauline Oliveros.
