The Becoming Real Trilogy Compilation is comprised of 13 of the most popular tracks from Elsa Hewitt's three albums of 2017: 'Cameras From Mars', 'Dum Spiro Spero' and 'Peng Variations'. From ambient, to hip hop, to downtempo, to lofi techno, garage and house, all shades of Hewitt's early days of diverse beatwork is represented in this compilation. With a natural ear for texture, subtlety and rhythm, her personal yet scholarly approach to blending electronic production with many years of experience as a songwriter and lyricist is the magic potion that culminated in this unique and beautiful brand of music. The tracks selected for this compilation have been remixed and remastered initially to be optimised for vinyl pressing, but the finished product admittedly sounds even better digitally.
Following numerous plays on numerous radio stations such as 6music, RTE, Triple J and Worldwide FM; support from Tom Ravenscroft, Bandcamp, Spotify, Stamp The Wax, Brownswood, PRS Foundation, HMUK, Jay Scarlett, Lefto, Tim Shiel, and many more, it was sensical to create a compilation for Hewitt's debut vinyl release, celebrating an astounding year of productivity and success despite being a total newcomer to the professional music scene at the start of it.
To sum up, this body of work represents the start of a long and fruitful career that is well worth following. In 2018 Elsa released her first ambient EP Quilt Jams'as well as several mixes, several stunning remixes, some highly impressive commissioned work for the Open Music Archive and the Jazz Cafe, many continuously developing live sets, a new single set for release on November 2nd via Saffron Records, and most significantly, she has completed a new album- Citrus Paradisi'set for release in 2019. So now is a better time than any to get acquainted with the world of Elsa Hewitt.
