Aisling Brouwer is a Dutch/Irish composer, producer, and artist based in London, known for her darkly emotive scores and genre-blending soundscapes. Her music combines raw emotion with Berlin-inspired electronics, textured sound design, and haunting melodies to create immersive cinematic worlds. Over the course of her career, she has lived and worked in Amsterdam, Berlin, Los Angeles, and London.

Aisling’s work as a composer spans feature films, documentaries, and television, with full soundtrack commissions for major platforms including Netflix, BBC, Apple TV+, Sky, and Amazon. She scored the Grierson Award-winning anti-fascist punk documentary White Riot (dir. Rubika Shah) and has reunited with Shah for her upcoming feature The Mad Dog of Europe, slated for release later this year. Aisling’s scores have accompanied films screened at renowned festivals worldwide, including Sundance, Tribeca, Berlinale, Cannes, and Venice.

As one half of the artist duo AVAWAVES with violinist/composer Anna Phoebe, Aisling is signed to One Little Independent Records—home to iconic artists like Björk and Laura Misch. Together, they’ve released three acclaimed studio albums: Waves (2019), Chrysalis (2022), and Heartbeat (2025). As the composers for the Apple TV+ drama The Buccaneers, they released two soundtrack albums on Interscope Records, with their music featured alongside artists such as Sharon Van Etten, Gracie Abrams, Warpaint, Holly Humberstone, and Suki Waterhouse.

Aisling has performed at some of the world’s most renowned venues and festivals—including the Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre, Kings Place, WOMAD, and Latitude Festival—both as part of her own duo and as a pianist supporting other artists.

Beyond composing, Aisling is dedicated to supporting greater diversity and equality within the film music industry. She serves on the Board of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, has been involved for several years in a university-led mentoring scheme for post-graduate students at Berklee College of Music, and contributes to ongoing conversations around policy and education through her involvement with the Media Council and Education Working Group at The Ivors Academy.
