‘A Winged Victory for the Sullen’ is the title for a collaborative project created by composers Adam Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran. Beginning with a self-titled debut album back in 2011 on Erased Tapes, the duo have since received widespread acclaim for their delicately constructed scores of neo classical electronica.

In their own respective careers within the music industry, Wiltzie and O’Halloran have managed both to gather diverse experience and involve themselves with a host of major productions.

Wiltzie was a founding member of the ambient focused group ’Stars of the Lid’, and has scored media ranging from Hollywood blockbusters such as 2014’s ‘Godzilla’ to television dramas like ‘House M.D’ and ‘Top Boy’.

Though the production is delayed, Wiltzie and O’Halloran’s score is to be released as a 45 minute collection, the opening track of has just been released. ‘So That the City Can Begin to Exist’ permeates the air with heavy emotion.
