The Sunday Times has released their Top 100 Recordings of 2020 and Ed Hughes: Time, Space and Change on Métier made the list!
“The title alludes to England and its music. Cuckmere: A Portrait is the transformed score for a film about a river, the idiom a cheerily naturalised minimalism.”
See the full list at TheTimes.co.uk
Ed Hughes and his work, “Cuckmere: A Portrait”, from his album, Time, Space & Change, was featured on BBC South East Today as it has been integrated into a new app called Echoes: Interactive Sound Walks. So the next time you’re visiting the Cuckmere Valley and Haven in East Sussex, you can listen to the work while you explore the footpaths down the river to the sea. The app uses GPS to trigger eight extracts from the score, giving you an immersive audio journey from the depths of winter to high summer while you walk! Watch the clip here:
Saturday, 7 March, 2020 at 7.30pm at All Saints Center, Lewes will be a special screening of Emmy award-winning film-maker Cesca Eaton’s beautiful portrait of the Cuckmere river and Cuckmere Haven through the seasons, with a lush, evocative score by Lewes-based composer Ed Hughes, to mark the release of Ed Hughes’s CD “Time, Space and Change” on Métier.
‘Cuckmere: A Portrait’ was originally commissioned by the Brighton Festival and premiered by the Orchestra of Sound and Light playing live at the Attenborough Centre at the University of Sussex, where Ed Hughes is Professor of Composition in Music, as part of the 2018 Brighton Festival.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Ed Hughes, Cesca Eaton, Tony Whitbread (President, Sussex Wildlife Trust) and Trevor Beattie (Chief Executive, South Downs National Park Authority) chaired by local writer and musician Eleanor Knight.
