The Becoming Real Trilogy Compilation is comprised of 13 popular tracks from Elsa Hewitt’s three albums of 2017: 'Cameras From Mars', 'Dum Spiro Spero' and 'Peng Variations'. Something from all of Hewitt's early days of diverse electronic work is represented in this compilation. With a natural ear for texture and subtlety, her personal yet scholarly approach to blending electronic production with many years of experience as a songwriter and lyricist culminated in this unique and beautiful brand of music. The tracks selected for this compilation have been newly mixed and mastered for vinyl pressing, but have come out sounding super in digital format as well.
-----
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.
Each album, released digitally and on cassette tape via Hewitt’s own label ERH, was followed by a hum of suitably poetic praise such as:
"Some of her work is like chiming cartoon birdsongs, some of it like knitted cirrus or a cove-caught sea of whispering mouths. There are plenty of loopers and glitchers about, but few who can make their work sound so organic and subtly potent." - Misfit City
"Elsa Hewitt has created beautiful music on the border between electronics and singer-songwriterian. Just. It does not need any additional epithets... One can hear the enormous self-confidence of a young producer in this, resulting from undoubted talent and sense in creation..." - Nowamuzyka
"Yorkshire's finest continues to marry quantity with seeming effortless quality." - Slow Music Movement
"Hewitt is consolidated as one of the most interesting exponents of the electronic avant-garde in the United Kingdom..." - Reverberacion Amarilla
"I think Hewitt makes music partly as an act of self-care, and the enveloping, immersive nature of her sound-world translates that compassion directly to you - and we can always use more of that in the world!" - An Earful

An instant classic! The moment I put this music into my headphones, I knew this was something special. After that, I just had to dig into Pharoah Sanders discogrpahy. Sanders was already a giant of Jazz. But this last release, 18 months before his death can just elevate his reputation even higher. Rest in peace Pharoah! Alex Deschênes
