CIVIC GRACE
I'm Ashley, an Australian music producer based in Berlin. Under the alias Civic Grace, I work with sound as a way of translating personal nostalgia into something collective. I’m drawn to the bending of genres, layering hypnotic classical loops, textured soundscapes and electronic grooves, to shape immersive sonic stories - whether for theatre, installations, live performance, film, or simply home listening.
Since 2019, I’ve released six solo albums.

"This debut album by civic grace is defined by the momentum of impermanence, and the collage of life as observed by a thinking, living and breathing artist: moments of introspective inhales oscillate with cathartic exhalation; the ruminations of Maya Angelou and Patti Smith punctuated by the channeled abandon of deep driving beats. Distilled piano reminiscent of the new classical masters are the quietly guiding force in tracks like a splendour only partially imagined, tinged with a haunting ethereality. With the album culminating in the bare intimacy of where you are now (in the artist’s words: ‘me playing the piano and humming along on one lonely winter night in Berlin’). The artist CIVIC GRACE is in a transient and meditative state of mind, and just as Smith declares in the most absolute disappearance - ‘I’m definitely into the future’ - so are we, drawn into Grace’s beautiful stream and flowing into what is now, and yet to be."

ALMOST PARADISE

ALMOST PARADISE by Civic Grace pushes the edges of multiple worlds, where deep, driving beats dissolve into moments of cinematic stillness. Across seven tracks, the album refuses linearity, twisting through genres to sketch out a narrative that’s been gradually unraveling over time. Immersive textures of field recordings and synths pulse in tandem, blending the past and present. In this almost-paradise, an echo from forgotten places flickers, always near but never quite within reach

"Thank you CIVIC GRACE for this great soundtrack. Uplifting and calming at the same time — like coffee and cigarettes … somewhere between Clint Mansell and Andy Stott. I just want to listen to it again and again." ★★★★★
