This was a thoroughly enjoying project to be part of. Mixing and mastering this Vienna Synchron Stage recording of Hero’s Victory by Eric Turnnessen and Dominic Sewell.
Hero’s Victory
More info about the project from Eric:
Hero’s Victory is an original orchestral piece inspired by the classic arc of the hero’s journey — from struggle and doubt, through descent and resilience, to the ultimate emergence into triumph. It’s a piece about finding inner strength when all seems lost, and remembering the light that called you forward in the first place.
This video captures the live orchestral recording at Synchron Stage Vienna in July 2025, where I had the honor of conducting a 60-piece ensemble as part of the Hollywood Music Workshop. This is the final, mastered version of the piece, presented with video footage from the session.
