Ashley Seward is a composer of acoustic and electroacoustic media currently based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She is currently finishing her Bachelor of Music (Composition) degree at the University of Calgary, where she studies with composers Laurie Radford, David Eagle, and Allan Gordon Bell. Her music explores the spiritual, the esoteric, and absurd notions at the edge of human understanding, as well as ideas of environment, home, and embodiment. She is also thrilled to be the latest in a line of out queer composers, and is constantly working to produce works which reflect her transgender experience. Ashley has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards at the University of Calgary, in addition to taking part in a number of summer workshops over the course of her career. She is beyond thrilled to begin a Master of Music (MMUS) in composition at the University of British Columbia starting September 2020. When not working on her next piece or fooling around with Max patches, she likes to run around and pet her cat.
