Sydney pianist and composer Sophie Hutchings has today released her third album, Wide Asleep.
Recorded with Tim Whitten of The Necks, the album is a contemplation on the state between sleep and wakefulness, wrought of trickling pianos and lilting strings.
Sophie has already established herself as one of the foremost composers in the hazily-defined arena of modern classical, and the delicate contrast of textures and exploration of light and dark on display throughout Wide Asleep only serves to further cement her status.
The album is being released through Preservation, and the limited LP edition of Wide Asleep comes in a deluxe sleeve featuring photographic prints by Jacob Ring. It’s up for pre-order now, with an immediate download, and also available for streaming below.
