Hi Everybody!
My name is
Ashton Morris. I provide engaging original music and high quality sound effects for video games and other media. Please check out my demo reel below for a quick idea of what I do.
http://www.ashtonmorris.com/https://soundcloud.com/ashtonmorrisI've been writing, performing and recording music and sound for 15 years. From playing in punk bands, to routing effects pedals through my old 4 track tape recorder, to performing solo with an acoustic guitar, to snapping celery under a blanket to get that perfect crunch sound. Although I learn most everything from youtube videos, blogs and interviews from other indie composers, I have also obtained a degree in Recording Arts.
Musically I love a challenge. I love that when writing for games you could end up writing in any genre or style, or end up creating your own. And I really enjoy it when a developer says "I want the music to sound like you're on an elevator going up, but you can tell the boss fight is coming." or "this is a desert level, can you write something to fit that?" Recently I have been commissioned to write a lot of chiptune, 80's synthwave, experimental, and some orchestral music.
With sound design I guess you could say that my strengths would be in creating quirky or cute sfx optimal for mobile. My most recent published game Demons vs Fairyland for ios, had a lot of fun sound assets like and Imp dying or shooting arrows at evil princesses. Getting creative and combining odd sounds is the fun part. The other day I had to make a sound for a space ship rocket boost; I used a vacuum being turned off in reverse and a recording of blowing into a microphone with heavy distortion on it to craft the perfect sound.
When it
rates I make it a priority to be as
flexible and as
affordable as I can. I’m always up for negotiation and willing to work within in the budgets of all projects big and small. I am open to considering revenue share, trading skilled services, or other forms of payment if a game or project is inspiring or it peeks my creative interests. Also if you have a promising upcoming Kickstarter campaign, I would definitely consider writing some fun music for the trailer.
I am always interested in speaking with inspired and creative people. So please contact me if you have any music or sound design needs, or if you have any other questions, comments, or ideas.
