1st Time with an Orchestra Contest Winner's Performance
Hi Reader,
It's been a while! I hope you're doing well :)
I'm really excited to share the final performance of the contest winner's piece! We recorded Andrés Hernández's winning composition "Village of Lumina" with the 34-piece ensemble of the Northern Film Orchestra on May 27th, 2023.
Check out the video on YouTube where I share the final performance of his piece followed by an interview where we talk about his experience recording with an orchestra for the first time. Finally, I’ll share a "fly on the wall" perspective of the 15 minute recording session. In this segment you’ll see how the conductor works with the musicians to record a piece of music they've never seen before from start to finish.
You can listen to the mastered recording of Village of Lumina on Spotify.
I also recorded a few pieces on the same day and have uploaded both performance videos as well as full behind-the-scenes videos of the recording session. Here are the performance videos. On the end screen of these you'll find links to the behind-the-scenes videos: Eskimo Bob Overture, Snow-Covered Earth, Spring Bloom.
All the best,
Eric

Patreon provides me with a platform where I can share the projects I’m working on and communicate with you directly in the community chat. I share more details in the video below... I look forward to cultivating this intimate community...
I'm really excited to share my latest composition "Take Flight" with you! "Take Flight" on Spotify, Apple, etc I'm grateful to the amazing team of artists I had the pleasure to work with bringing this piece to life. 🎼 Dom Sewell did the orchestration/arranging. As a comparison, take a listen to my original synth mockup and you'll hear the energy and excitement that Dom brought to the piece (download the score to follow along). 🎺🎻 Simon Passmore did the orchestral programming. If you can...
