Zoë Martlew (1968) composes music that moves between worlds: crystalline and raw, comic and sacred, intimate and vast. Her works weave ancient echoes with futuristic soundscapes, drawing on myth, language and archetype to create music that feels both timeless and vividly alive. Album Z (NMC Records) marks her debut release as composer, the first recording devoted entirely to her own music, gathering pieces that chart her lifelong journey through performance, ritual and fearless artistic experiment.

Berceuse is a beautiful melodic encore piece in the romantic cello tradition, with simple piano part.
