Sue Aston composer of The Homecoming Cornwall

I use the Cornish landscape and nature to help compose my music. The stillness and background sounds of Cornwall weave through my music. Music can be the soundtrack of an ordinary day and an extraordinary day. The movies that play in our minds can conjure up their own soundtracks. Music can change the atmosphere of a room or a place or a frame of mind. Although I use folklore and legends and aspects of my own life to trigger each composition. The instrumental aspect of my work is written so that the listener can weave their own images and experiences into each piece..

Sue has worked with Simon Rattle, Nigel Kennedy, Peter Donohoe, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Charles Groves, Esa Pekka Salonen, Gordon Giltrap, Chris De Burgh

This is Celtic music for the classically appreciative yet also a viable contender for a top ranking among those' chilled' recordings.

Absolutely fabulous! Congratulations to a very talented lady. We have 2 of your CDs and enjoy them very much. We have seen you on Classic FM .

Once again, congratulations, you do justice to Cornwall, we will look forward to seeing more'. Leigh Allan Heartland Productions Cornwall.

I don't think I can recall one album that has touched me so deeply as Inspirational Journey by Sue Aston.

Sue Aston's violin playing reaches out with such emotion that I felt I was listening to the soundtrack of life itself. All aspects of life are here, from the village community of 'Sketches of Newlyn, rural folklore with maypole dance and the orchestral sweep of Elly's Theme. The compositions and melodies are so strong that its hard to pick individual highlights. It won't be long before Sue Aston's name starts to appear on film and TV credits. For me I am going back to the CD to play it yet again! Richard Phillips

If you love Enya and enjoyed the soundtrack to Lord of the Rings then this CD is just for you. Inspirational Journey is a fantastic new CD from composer and violinist Sue Aston. Producer Mark Lane (chill out ibiza) has put together layering and atmospherics that transport you into grooves where the melodies dance across the emotions. Some of the tracks have a real epic feel, simply close your eyes and add your own pictures.

Awesome. JP North
