Recordings of my performances over the years in both solo and ensemble settings, with a few extra things sprinkled in here and there.

JUSTIN ASHLEY & NEIL RAY

While studying composition for a year at ISU, one of the projects I got to take part in was writing the score to a video produced by a member of the film studio at ISU. Neil Ray created the video; I wrote the music.

JUSTIN ASHLEY

During my senior year at ISU, I had the opportunity to have a piece that I wrote, “Cromulent Noir,” performed in front of a live audience. I was fortunate enough to be able to work with such amazing musicians and even play my own piano part. This is the premier performance.

JOHANN STRAUSS II

Here, my good friend Ethan and I perform a piano duet of Johann Strauss II’s "Tritsch-Tratsch Polka" arranged by Jonathan Scott. I am playing Primo (foreground), and he is playing Secondo (background). This one was a real challenge but a lot of fun to play!
