Radiant Hearts Academy
Album purchase happens on Bandcamp. You can also get this album through the Lifetime Bundle or Patreon.
Radiant Hearts Academy is a collaboration between composer Ivan Duch and storyteller Suann, also known as The Geekstress. Created as part of the Storytellers initiative on Patreon, the album accompanies Suann’s original Pathfinder 2e adventure: a story of dangerous academia, high magic, and the bonds forged when survival is at stake.
What sets this album apart is its recording process. Rather than relying solely on virtual instruments, I worked with live string players whose performances bring warmth, breath, and humanity to the score. Those live textures shape every emotional swell, quiet tension, tender moment, and magical discovery.
The music is suited for wizarding academies, castles, research scenes, arcane rituals, emotional flashbacks, magical exploration, and stories where friendship and danger sit close together.

- How do I credit you?

- What is royalty-free music?
- Royalty-free means you pay once (or in this case, just credit me) for a license to use the music — not on a per-use basis. You're free to use it across multiple projects.

- A non-exclusive license to use the music in your projects. You may not redistribute or sell the tracks as standalone audio files or albums.
- What are Stems?

- Do you offer exclusive licenses?
- Yes. If you need original, exclusive music for a film, game, or other project, visit the commissions page. Terms can be tailored to your project's needs.
- Can I use the music without crediting you?
- Attribution is required on every license — credit Ivan Duch as the composer wherever attribution is possible. The only exception is media where attribution isn’t practical (live podcasts, live events), where it may be omitted. Contact me if you need a special arrangement.
- Is there a written license?
- Yes — you can find the full written license on the licensing page. It protects you if someone ever falsely claims the music. See the copyright page for more.
