Thomas William Hill是一名英國作曲家和錄音師,曾為許多影視作品創作配樂。《Asylum For Eve》源自「粒線體夏娃 (Mitochondrial Eve) 」的理論,一種追朔現代人最近共同祖先的方式。以多層次的聲音質感連接起來的悲傷的鋼琴聲響和輕快的室內樂,他創作時特別挑選的樂器也讓作品質感獨樹一格。
While not a concept album in the strict sense of the term, 《Asylum For Eve》refers to a hypothetical imagining of Mitochondrial Eve, the theorised matrilineal ancestor of all living humans, reincarnated in today s world of restricted movement. Threads inspired by this juxtaposition of division and connectedness run through the album, which drifts from plaintive piano-led passages to brisk chamber music and back again, tied together by the textured layering of found sounds and instruments that distinguishes Thomas s music.
