Duncan Thum is a two-time Emmy nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California.
A host of sonic explorations lead Duncan from co-forming LA's d.i.y. music scene fixture Pizza! to performance at the Disney Hall with Glenn Branca's Hallucination City: Symphony for 100 guitars. Duncan's muse crystallized in writing music for film, where story and image provide a poignant context for his eclectic background.
Notable credits include Netflix original documentary series "Chef's Table" and "Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On" as well as features "Off The Rails", "DEALT" and "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead".
In addition to his long form work, Duncan has garnered critical acclaim for his collaborations with Apple and VICE Media. Duncan is a graduate of USC's esteemed SMPTV film scoring program.
