Music

From soul and R&B to avant guard jazz, Ashley has featured and performed for a number of talented artists in a diverse range of genres.

Here Now Hear

Here Now Hear is comprised of nine innovative Australian works commissioned and recorded by the Monash Art Ensemble between 2017-2019. It features an eclectic mix of contemporary cross-genre music by significant Australian composers: Paul Grabowsky, Kate Neal, Andrew Ford, Robert Burke, Cat Hope, Marc Hannaford, Paul Williamson, Johannes Luebbers and Sandy Evans.

Respire (single)

Emma Volard is 22-year-old future-soul artist hailing from the quiet inner city suburb of Carlton North. Respire is an entrancing and contemplative rite-of-passage nu-soul anthem that meditates on the idea of growth, self-reflection and empowerment after the breakdown of a unsteady relationship.

The Dream

In looking for an Australian connection to inspire the work, I stumbled on the prose and poetry of Kevin Gilbert. His connection to land, to people, ancestors, and to love, moved me deeply. The imagery in his work, and as I later found out, his graphic artwork, felt keenly attuned to sound and musical expression. Each piece was inspired by one of his works and, with deep respect and feeling, we crafted a lyric and an improvisational content in collaboration.

Hold Your Fire - Rambal

Rambal are a soul, funk, and blues band based in Melbourne, Australia. Previously called the Justin Yap Band, the group garnered national attention with their 2016 and 2018 releases ‘Let Love’ and ‘Live in Newcastle’, winning them Group of the Year at the 2017 Australian Blues Music Awards and a #1 spot on the Australian Blues Charts in 2017. Rambal have since honed in on sharing stories and issues important to them through their songwriting, and grooving harder than ever before.
