Hey everyone, Thanks to all your support, today I released my new album. Mostly a mixed bag of fantasy music, full of songs belonging to collaborations I did in the past months. You can get it in my updated Foundry Module, Moulinette, or on my website (https://ivanduch.com/songs). I’ll be posting the songs separately in the […]
Hey everyone! I want to let you know that I’m currently wrapping up Venture Forth, chapter IV. This new album will include 10 songs, many of them part of collabs I’ve done in recent months. Shortly after that, I’ll be releasing Atmospheres IV and V, which will include ambiances from this new album and the […]
A friend (Rob) gave me the idea of going back to my unfinished album Tribes, and actually making it about fantasy tribes. An album with a primal, natural sound and some grit to it. I thought the idea is great so I’ve been thinking of making that my upcoming project (which I expect to be […]
Hey there! Let’s dive into the backstory of The Collection—a compilation of music I’ve been crafting since 2018 when I first set my sights on becoming a fantasy music composer. It’s been quite the adventure! Before embarking on this journey, I was a music teacher, dabbled in rock bands, and even spent some years as […]
I just released version 1.4 which includes 20 new songs to the module. Basically the songs from Venture Forth, Chapters 2 and 3. I also uploaded all the new content to Moulinette and there are 11 new ambiances coming out next week. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to create a better song browsing system on my website since I think Patreon itself is very lacking on that front. Well, version 1.0 is now ready for testing on my website. From now on the plan is to only post songs on my website and […]
Hey everyone! I wanted to mention some of the upcoming features and music I have planned for you all. I’m currently wrapping up Venture Forth, Chapter 3, and Atmospheres III (my new ambiance album). These two will be released in April. In the meantime, I’ve also been working hard on my new website which now […]
Given my recent issues with Dropbox, I migrated all my music to a new hosting system. This new hosting service also makes use of Moulinette for authenticating patrons in my website and so I was able to add a new feature: From now on you can browse my music packs from https://ivanduch.com/albums and simply click […]
Hey everyone! First, as always, thank you for all the support. It’s allowing me to be able to focus more and more on writing music for you all. That takes me to the main topic of this post: Since I’ve been able to dedicate more and more to this I started thinking about my workflow […]
I’m currently wrapping up Venture Forth, Chapter II, which should be released sometime in the upcoming two weeks. And after it, I want to work on writing my first Symphony or Orchestral Suite. It will be fantasy focused and I plan to write it both as concert music (real orchestra) and also in a way […]
Hey everyone! My music is now available on Moulinette as well. Moulinette is an awesome module for Foundry which allows you to organize your assets and also get them directly from a cloud. To learn more about it check out here: Discover (as user) – Moulinette Cloud I uploaded my content in two versions, a […]
The module has now been updated to version 1.1 which includes some fixes for songs that weren’t playing. I should use the opportunity to mention that some have experienced issues when trying to download the module. Mainly because the new Patreon integration from Foundry is currently in beta. If you experience any issues, please let […]
Hey everyone! I know many of you are Foundry users just like me and just wanted to let you know the good news: I’m working with their team on a module containing all my music. This one, unlike my free one, will be exclusive to patrons and include all the material that’s part of my […]

You can contact me via email at hello@ivanduch.com or join […]
Hi everyone, I’m writing to invite you to give shape to my upcoming album Venture Forth Volume 2. You can do so by requesting specific songs that you might find useful for your project. The caveat is that the songs must fall within the theme and aesthetics of Venture Forth (orchestral and relatively peaceful). If […]
Oh my, this month I have something big to tell you: I decided to take a leap of faith and will be focusing all my waking hours on my fantasy music library for the time being. It’s definitely what makes me the happiest, especially seeing how many people enjoy it and find it useful for […]

As you might know, I’m currently working on a Vampires Music Pack while also doing collabs on the side which often have many varied themes. That said, I have a long list of themes I’d like to cover after I’m done writing music for the current dark-themed topic that is vampires. And I thought: who […]

Hi there, I hope everyone had a good week! This week I started by focusing on improving the library and implementing it into a well-known VTT. This is basically what I did: Migrated the library to Dropbox. Created an archive post from where you can access all the packs which include all my songs. Added […]
I recently had this idea of creating what I’d call “narrative music packs”. Always thinking about content creators and roleplaying. The concept is basically to create a narrative and cohesion within the music pack, with reiterative themes, like the heroic theme, starting humble and having a big climax by the end. Or the villain […]
Hi everyone, I release free fantasy music as a service to the community I love and in homage to the books, movies, and videos games I grew up loving. So far I released 70+ free songs under a Royalty-Free license in the past few months. And with more to come, I thought it would be a […]

After the release of my album Fjall I started working on a new viking music album for the tabletop game Svilland by Dream Real Storytellers. It will basically be used as a soundtrack during gameplay. And I’m happy to announce I’m almost done with finishing the initial songs. Just a few more to go and […]
This viking song is about death, a warrior’s death. In all its glory and grief. I imagined a viking funeral, the loved ones saying farewell and wishing good passage to Valhalla for the great warrior soon to be entering Odin’s hall without fear nor remorse. This is also my last viking song for my album […]
First I want to say thanks to all the people in Discord who helped me with their great feedback, you can join here: https://discord.gg/xuWGjY7 That said, this viking song is about struggle in the Vikings Age: combat, raiding, and whatnot. For this song I ended up recording some vocals and a real tagelharpa I recently […]
I’m learning to play this awesome instrument, the tagelharpa/jouhikko, for my upcoming album Fjäll.
What a ride! I loved being part of Scorchfountain from the start.
Exploring the sounds of a darker age, I hope you enjoy it. Important Make sure to check out my licensing info before using the song. The Exclusive content is extra content for this particular release. It can vary from release to release but it usually includes stems, loops, alternative versions or HQ music files. Download […]
