Lucy Railton is a contemporary cellist and composer, whose explorative work delves into the interstices between classical music, modern composition, and electronic experimentalism. With a career marked by a fearless engagement with a broad array of sounds and styles, Railton has established herself as a distinctive voice in the contemporary music landscape. Her training as a cellist is deeply rooted in classical tradition, but her artistic output consistently transcends conventional boundaries.

Railton's discography showcases a penchant for innovation, as reflected in the avant-garde allure of albums like "Paradise 94" and her collaborative ventures in "RFG Inventions for Cello and Computer." Her work on the "False Positive" original motion picture soundtrack further underscores her versatility and ability to set mood and emotion to narrative. Railton's profound connection to classical music is evident in her interpretations of J.S. Bach compositions, arranged by Fred Thomas. These recordings bridge the gap between the canonical repertoire and modern sensibilities, revealing Railton's deep respect for musical heritage alongside her commitment to its contemporary evolution. Whether through haunting solo ventures like "Subaerial" or collaborative pieces such as "Julian Marshall: The River (Radio Remix)," Lucy Railton's musical narrative is an ever-expanding testament to a boldly inquisitive artist unafraid to redefine the sonic potential of her instrument.
