Echoes of Dreams was composed for Ashley’s 3rd year minor assessment as a Performer/Composer BMus (Hons) at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where he was tasked with composing a piano piece between 8 and 12 minutes. It combines elements of the long and flowing lyrical lines reminiscent of Romantic music, harmonies inspired by the Impressionist period as well as tinges of rhythmic drive and surprising dissonances of Latin American folk music.
Mariposa Neón depicts a vision of future events whilst being guided through them by an other-worldly butterfly fluttering around with neon brilliance. Inspired by Ravel’s Toccata from “Le Tombeau de Couperin”.
