Film composer and artist Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres has a talent for reframing her own emotional processing as vivid storytelling experiences in music. As a BBC R3 favourite, she sees merging her film scores and artist work as fundamental to her love of combining sound worlds and story-telling through music. Her bold approach to film scoring uses unique twists of sound design and recording spaces, away from the conventional that heighten emotions an original way.
Critiqued to write “arresting compositions that fuse classical instrumentation with electronica” (Uncut Magazine), she won Best Original Feature Film Score in the Music & Sound Awards working with MRI machine sounds, celebrated as an “evocative score” in Empire Magazine and continues to be one of the UK’s biggest up and come talents in the film and new classical concert scene. Hamilton-Ayres’ “devastatingly emotional” (The Guardian) debut 2 Years Stranger took us to the hospital bed of her father in a coma, described by BBC Radio 6 Mary Anne Hobbs as “hauntingly beautiful”. Hamilton-Ayres “spacious and dynamic” (CLASH) second album Play Echoes, a collaboration on Nils Frahm’s Leiter, with Her Ensemble at Funkhaus’ iconic Saal 3, said goodbye to her childhood home with an attic full of patchwork memories. Hamilton-Ayres’ third full album Lucid Distance released with Icelandic label INNI, awarded the prestigious PRS Composer fund, is the first ever music recorded in the Europe's largest reverb chamber.
