Bio / Background

Composer Dwight Ashley created solo works for nearly 20 years before his first CD, Discrete Carbon, was issued in 2004.  Prior to that project, many came to know him through two collaborations of the 1990s with fellow Ohio artist Tim Story - A Desperate Serenity and Drop. 

Although Watermelon Sugar is his most recent solo release, the tracks on the album were actually recorded 15 years ago, during the time the Ashley/Story projects were produced.  Those familiar with Serenity and Drop will find in Watermelon Sugar telling overtones of Story's influence during this period - while those who know Ashley largely through his solo work of the mid 2000's will get a glimpse into an unseen phase of his career that clearly lays the groundwork for his later solo projects.

The first several tracks on Watermelon Sugar have a distinctly dreamy, wistful character that at the outset seem almost too pretty for an Ashley work.
