MY FIRST EVER ORCHESTRAL RECORDING AT VIENNA SYNCHRON STAGE 🎶✨

Probably the most iconic week of my life! I got to compose, orchestrate & conduct this piece in two days. The session at Synchron has given me an amazing opportunity to work in my dream role, composing for an industry lead brief set almost entirely on my own terms. It was intense, fun & once I was up on that podium I never wanted to come down! 😊❤️

This piece expresses my love of flight, fantasy, mythology & daring adventure! The theme for this piece I want you to imagine for a moment - you're a winged mythical warrior, a young hero leaping into battle against the fearsome talons of a flying Griffin! 🦅🦁

I want to say a huge thank you to the entire team Hollywood Music, Rolf Gustavson , Michiel de Boer & Justus Berger - you guys made my dream of recording with a professional orchestra possible - so I just wanted to say you’re all the best & I hope to catch up with you all again soon! 🙏

To all the participants, active & passive (those on Airwiggles!) - this felt like real teamwork to get scores peer reviewed & over the line for delivery, however quickly it came together, the peer reviewing and support was invaluable. So - Tom Schipper, Paul Nicolaou, Morgan Ridley-Smith, Rania Angeletou, Noah Jezyk, Barton Kaye, Arthur Troch, Mikko Aaltio, Elliot Kelly to name a few, you all rock! 🎸

And to Austin Austin Wintory - you are a bonafide legend sir. You make me want to be a better composer every single day :) Congratulations again on your Grammy, you are truly one of the pioneers of this craft. Never stop surprising us! 🏆

Thanks, I hope this takes you on the adventure it was meant to, enjoy ‘Talon Showdown’! 🎶🎻🎺
