Duncan Thum

Composer: Chef's Table, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, We’re Here

DUNCAN THUM is an Emmy winning 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 his first feature film, where the interplay of emotion and image provide a spirited context for his eclectic background. Duncan has composed in this collaborative manner steadily since, evoking a range of mood and musical color for film, documentary, animation and other forms of branded story telling.

Notable credits include Emmy award winning Netflix documentary series "Chef's Table”, “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones” and “We’re Here” (HBO). Feature films include “Brittany Runs a Marathon", "Dealt", and “A Secret Love". In addition to his long form work, Duncan has garnered critical acclaim for his collaborations with APPLE and other distinguished agencies. Duncan is a graduate of USC’s SMPTV film scoring program.
