Ailie is increasingly establishing a career as a composer. She has written for a diverse range of projects, in a variety of styles. In 2010 she received a commission from the Scottish Arts Council to write a 50-minute suite of music, Traditional Spirits, which was described by Froots magazine as “seamlessly blending traditional, classical and jazz influences to create an exquisitely moving little masterpiece. A future career as a film score composer surely beckons.”
In 2011 she won 1st prize in the Scottish Chamber Orchestra New Music Competition for her piece ‘Le Reve Mysterieux’. The work has been recorded by the ensemble, and will be performed in their 2012 series. She was honoured to be nominated as ‘Composer of the Year’ in the Scottish Trad Music Awards 2011, and was delighted to be invited to a composers residency at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2012.
