Award-winning TV and film composer, Robert Duncan | Feb 2026
A recent newcomer to Nashville, the acclaimed composer who notably scored the hit television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rob requested a photoshoot that felt quintessentially Tennessee. Barns, fences, fields, that sort of thing. As someone who isn’t exactly a newcomer as I enter my 15th year in town, it’s easy to forget just how striking middle Tennessee can be. Rob’s gentle and curious spirit reminded me to reconsider the structures and landscapes that inundate my day to day. As we worked, I was really inspired by Rob’s own awe as we walked around the location. It reminded me to not lose that awe.I knew however that I wanted to merge the feel of Rob’s musical works with the location, which we ultimately joked produced a “barn noir” sort of feel. A lot of people move to Tennessee. Honestly, way too many people. People like Rob however are the people who help make places like Nashville so great. These creative, gentle, and endlessly curious souls who come here humble and open to the powers of creativity, community, and music. You rule, Rob. We're happy to have you here in Music City, so happy. Thank you for pushing me creatively and working with me on this shoot. Thank you to the lovely Justin Hadley for assisting!
