Chris Hyson - Dolphin

Chris Hyson is a London based multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer. He studied at the RWCMD and the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he developed his keen sensitivity and creative flair for composition, indulging an appetite for writing that has since led to a professional portfolio spanning performance, composition, and production.

The soft, rolling piano of ‘Dolphin’ pours like a body of water, accompanied by shimmering, soft, shaking sounds of processed percussion - it invokes the sense of being gently immersed underwater, suspended in stillness and looking up at the waves of light streaming down from above. Hyson’s piano playing shines throughout, utilising a range of pianos – from bright uprights to prepared –to achieve an evolving sound that is responsive and sensitive to each track, and the meaning and stories they each evoke.
