Spanning free improvisation, sound art and composition, Tina Hitchens’s work explores he borders of sound, the rhythms of our bodies in sound and our connection through sound. In addition to her solo work, she performs widely with improvising groups including Viridian Ensemble, Harpoon and Halftone.

Right Into The River is Hitchens’s first solo release. Improvised and recorded over two days in February 2021, it represents “a pining for the sea and for space, and an urge to use melody to articulate the inner. It explores breath and texture, melding flute with electronics and effects, sometimes layered up and morphed into alien pipes. Other more transparent tracks offer clear flute invocations of the wider world.
