My name is Evie Ashton. I'm a film composer studying at Guildhall School of Music and Drama! Since I was small I have always loved music, and at a young age I was consuming the soundtrack of a film before I understood the film itself. Writing for film is one of my biggest joys in life, being able to work creatively to use sound as a medium for emotion.
Short Film Score
SOTM was my first ever short film at the age of 16, a ten minute drama written by Simon Phelps. I had an incredible time working on it, and went on to win Best Score at the Short Sounds Film Festival in Bournemouth.
A Grand Display of Brock's Fireworks
In July 2025, Guildhall students were asked to compose music for a Barbican collaboration project with silent film archives from around the world. Composer Sam Moss and I were given the film 'Grand Display of Fireworks' from the National Archive of Film in Turin. The museum has since put Sam and I's music online and you can watch the composition here!
Game Audio / Synthesis
Just a Normal Happy Day is a somewhat 'Stardew Valley' inspired synthetic take on silly little games that might, perchance, have a hidden and darker secret behind them.
