Eve of Indigo and Dawn of Blue build a connected atmosphere over nightfall, at times ominous, and others celebratory of the coming day. This short multi-movement work was Ashley's first composition for orchestral instruments.

Robin's Egg Blue
Robin's Egg Blue is Ashley's most recent EP, released to streaming services in 2020. Torn between soft, woodland bedroom folk pop and vibrant electronic meteor showers, the songs are a mix of acoustic ukulele and psychedelic synths. Malá Strana, inspired by her 2019 international choir tour in Prague, is entirely instrumental. Other songs, like Cabin Fever, are much more minimalist and express themes of mental health struggles.
