Diversity & Inclusion at Ash & Aether
Dynamic worlds deserve dynamic voices.
Music for entertainment is all about worldbuilding—and that worldbuilding is strongest when it reflects real diversity. At Ash & Aether, we believe inclusive teams make better stories, better experiences, and better music.
We’re proud to be a woman co-owned and operated music team working across games, film, anime, and records. Our core team brings together international perspectives from North America, Europe, and Latin America. That mix of backgrounds, creative influences, and lived experiences helps us approach game soundtracks with range, depth, and authenticity.
And most importantly, we don’t contrive our diversity, this all happened naturally.
Why It Matters in Game Audio, Anime, Film, TV, and the Record Industry
Every game tells a story—visually, mechanically, and emotionally. Our job is to amplify those narratives through music and sound design. And to do that well, we draw from a team that understands what it means to feel like an outsider, to speak more than one language, to grow up in more than one culture, and to collaborate with care and nuance.
When you work with Ash & Aether, you're not just getting composers—you’re getting storytellers who understand the responsibility of representing characters, cultures, and communities with integrity.
Our Culture of Collaboration
We’ve built our studio around the values we want to see more of in the game industry:
Mutual respect across disciplines
Open communication between creatives and dev teams
A commitment to elevating underrepresented voices
Thoughtful partnerships built on trust—not ego
Whether you’re an AAA team or an indie collective, we meet you where you are—and we bring our full selves to the process.
Our Policy on Inclusion & Non-Discrimination
Ash & Aether does not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind.
This includes—but is not limited to—bias based on:
Gender identity or expression
Race or ethnicity
Sexual orientation
National origin or immigration status
Disability or neurodivergence
Religion or spiritual belief
Age or economic background
We expect the same from our partners, clients, and collaborators.
An Invitation to Build Better Worlds
We believe inclusive audio production isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smart thing to do. Diverse creative teams make richer, more resonant experiences. And when your game reaches players around the world, they’ll hear the difference.
If you’re building a world worth hearing—we’d love to be part of it.
