When We Dream

Lost And Found

This is the first ambient song I do with the exceptional guitarist Maneli Jamal; a project that emerged many months ago and that has been simmering; Maneli has distilled his art with several guitars over my base of strings, pads and pianos in a track that I can't get enough of listening to. Mixed by the musician and sound engineer Pouya Hamidi in Canada, and distributed with Soothe Sounds

At The Outset

Undulating, steadily evolving and nuanced solo piano piece.

Solo Piano - Solitude

Searching

Whilst the sun shines through the windows, the cats sleep tight,  dreaming about their catches at dawn.

Composer and Pianist: Shirley Ly
String Quartet: Alerion Strings with Claudia Dehnke and Flora Yeung (Violinists), John Michael Hird (Violist) and Chris Terepin (Cellist)

Pastorale - Igor Stravinsky

Pastorale - For Piano and Woodwind

Pastorale - For Piano & Woodwind - Igor Stravinsky

This nocturne (always) for piano  has an intro which beggs for an orchestral approach. So I did, and later on I added the cello, English horn, mellotron, pizzicato strings and cultivated brushes. The piano comes from Ivory 2. Let me know what you think of this arrangement!

Shirley Ly is a self-taught British female contemporary classical music composer from Greenwich in London, United Kingdom, with Chinese and Vietnamese heritage. She has composed over 40 pieces for solo piano / violin / cello, duets, trios, quartets and quintets. She has produced 4 albums: 9 Lives (2023), Paradise (2023), Blossom (2021), and Impetus (2018) and released multiple singles i.e. Emerald (2023), and London Strive (2023). Her music has been played around a million times across more than 100 countries around the world spanning six continents, including by BBC radio, and is described to be a bridge between classical, romantic, and minimalist music with Eastern and jazz elements. She has performed her music across a variety of venues, including churches and halls, and will be performing in many more venues going forward in London and abroad. Shirley plays the piano in all of her pieces.
​
The pieces in her albums aim to capture her reflections on life experiences relating to nature (i.e., swallows' journeys to their nests, the seasons, swans), living in London, dance, relationships with family and other loved ones, travel (i.e. to Berlin, Amsterdam), and dreams. Paradise (2023) is inspired by her experiences of swimming, diving, sailing, and surfing in the ocean, and she hopes that her music can further emphasise its importance. 
 
9 Lives (2023) is inspired by the beauty, charm and mysteriousness of cats. She lives in London with her five cats, and gain a lot of inspiration from them. This album aims to raise money for animal charities in areas which need support the most.

She is currently working on classical and electronic music works inspired by her travels in Southeast Asia.
