Listen to some of Duane's compositions
Heroic Theme: A Salute To The Heroes -- A soldier in uniform, about to deploy to the front in the service of an ideal. This piece captures that iconic moment.
Sad Theme: A Shoebox Of Memories -- This is a composition for string quartet -- it captures the feeling of sadness that can come from a shoebox of photographs.
Adventure Theme: High Seas Adventure -- This was written to accompany a scene of a sailing ship heading into a big storm, following the promise of treasure.
Horror Theme: Leave the Lights On -- The title is actually a warning... this piece explores the use of the dark side of the orchestra. It is meant to have a 'creepy' feeling.
Intense Action Theme: Looking For A Way Out -- The moment of confrontation between the hero and the forces of evil has arrived, and things aren't looking too good for our guy!
Dramatic Theme: Nightfall -- This piece was written to accompany a wartime scene: night has fallen and the battle continues in the distance, while soldiers huddle together for warmth, alone with their thoughts.
Comedy Theme: Roach Circus -- This is a comedy cue, written for a light scene where a gathering of a group of friends is interrupted by a cockroach. It ends badly for the roach...
Light Action Theme: Run For It -- This is a little longer cue to accompany the twists and turns of a chase scene.
