Sophie Hutchings - Sunlight Zone (4:48)
Sophie Hutchings - Becalmed (2010)
Becalmed is the debut album from Sydney pianist Sophie Hutchings, recorded between two different settings: one with engineer Tim Whitten, best known for his work with The Necks, and one with Tony Dupe, who records on the preservation label as Saddleback. Becalmed isn’t an entirely solo affair, and you’ll hear Hutchings’ family and friends helping her out with violin, cello and percussion - all elements that greatly help bring these recordings to life. Beautifully recorded, elegiac and romantic compositions such as ‘Sunlight Zone’ and the stunning ‘After Most’ are given an extra dimension by the lyrical flow of strings and the clever use of spatial dynamics in the mix. ~Boomkat
