“My music comes to me not only in the stillness of nature but also in her wildest moments. I can hear the strings in the branches of the trees, the melody within every crashing wave. All I can do is try and capture what my heart perceives”
Sue Aston
Composer
The People’s Composer
I see my work as a composer and musician as being of both a vocational and spiritual nature, “I feel that I am a musician for the people. I so enjoy being asked to perform at weddings, celebrations and in memory of loved ones, more so than in the more sterile and lofty atmosphere of a concert hall. For me, bringing music to people in real life, everyday settings is a real honour. It makes a difference and brings pleasure to people who may not ordinarily go to a concert, and it enhances special moments in someone’s life.”
I specialise in creating bespoke, personalised music for people, often by using a musical cryptogram to create a music motif from a person’s name or initials, which is then woven into the music. This originally started when I composed music in memory of my Dad and also for my Nan. Since then I have composed music for my Patrons and my own family. I can compose music to mark someone’s special occasion or to create music in memory of a loved one. My husband Phil can also create a video to compliment the music, which is then dedicated to that person as a lasting tribute.
