About The Hunt
Hunted by Moonlight is one of the most unique projects I’ve worked on so far. The score was written for David Armsby’s film of the same name, and from the start we wanted the music to feel alive — centered on real performances rather than samples. This gave me the chance to explore techniques and colors that can’t really be done with virtual instruments. I conceived the album almost as a cello concerto, with Daniel Chouinard as the main voice. From the beginning, Daniel and I discussed different cello techniques that could capture the dark, emotional atmosphere of the film. Once we had a direction, I sat down to write the the score around his sound. The film’s concept — a dark fairy tale portraying dinosaurs as characters — immediately inspired me. David’s color palette and world-building had a huge impact on the tone of the music, which shifts between intimacy, tension, and melancholy.

Daniel Chouinard – Cello Dorothy Takev – Vocals Matias Tozzola – Classical Guitar Bruno Migliari – Double Bass

- 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.
