Hi, I’m Elise Fleming Grant.
I’m the founder of tideline.
I’m a composer working across film and visual storytelling, with a focus on subtle, emotionally-led music.
I studied Music Technology and Production at Canterbury Christ Church University, where I realised film composing and sound design was what I wanted to focus on.
Tideline is a space for work that sits somewhere between intimacy and atmosphere.
When I’m writing for a scene, I’m less interested in adding something on top, and more interested in understanding what’s already there. The character, the pacing, the feeling beneath the surface.
I’m drawn to character-driven stories, whether that sits in drama, thriller, or something more abstract. For me, it’s always about what’s happening underneath, not just what’s happening on screen.
I tend to work quietly, building around small details, letting things breathe, and allowing the music to support rather than take over. You can hear some of my work over on the next page, and if it resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make something beautiful that will take your project to the next level.
My Approach
Every project begins with conversation. I like to understand how a director sees the scene - what matters to them, what they want the audience to feel, and where music should sit within that.
From there, I work intuitively, shaping ideas that evolve with the picture rather than forcing something fixed too early.
Collaborative
I see composition as dialogue. The best work comes from shared understanding, where the music grows alongside the film.
Flexible
I don’t come in with a fixed sound. Each project finds its own identity, depending on the story, the world, and the people behind it.
