I'm making a short film about Afghanistan and I'm thinking about using Duduk as a theme instrument for the score. I love the sound and it has such a lonely feeling to it, just right for the film! My only concern - will it be appropriate? I mean, sound of armenian instrument - for the afghanian landscapes? Any suggestions?

Hello Vladimir and welcome to DudukForum

if it's appropriate for Jerusalem, Israel or Munich and Istanbul - i don't see Way isn't appropriate for afghanistan wink.gif


one think to know is the limitations of this instrument
Please see the fingering charts of Armenian duduk
http://www.duduk.com/chart/duduk%20fingering%20chart.htm
it will help you more or less to know what music to use, since duduk is only a one and half octaves 10 keys

Thanks for reply, Moses. Actually, the opportunity to compose and perform musical score for the film by myself is one of the reasons why I want to make the film smile.gif I will need some advice when I'm ready to buy the instrument (in a month or so), as I have particualr sound in mind. Something like this http://www.redsquarefilms.com/daysix.htm I hope you'll help me. unsure.gif

Meanwhile I'm very interested in the subject in which movies duduk was used as a theme instument. I know Albert Vardanyan has composed score for "Ronin" (love it!!!!). I believe I spoted duduk in "Transporter" and other Luc Besson's movies, I'm not sure... Both of these films feature a loner as a main charachter, coincidence? wink.gif

I spotted Duduk in "The Passion of the Christ " (composer John Debney), Oscar nominated for Best Original Score. Several compositions by Peter Gabriel feature armenian duduk and kurdish duduk. Sounds awesome (in original meaning of this word smile.gif

there is also much more film music with duduk... i find the duduk for the first time in the french not very known film "giorgino". the duduk player on this soundtrack is levon minassian... the great player. and then, there is also the famous soundtrack of peter gabriel "the last passion of christ". i also heared that the last french film nominated on oscar price "les indigenes" inclus the duduk on the soundtrack. and much more...

I believe a Duduk is also used in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
It used used in the scene in which the faun character, Mr. Tumnus, plays an unusually shaped fictional instrument. The Duduk is the sound played which the audience is tricked into believing comes from Mr. Tumnus's strange instrument.

I was exposed to Duduk by the film Gladiator and the Xena TV series. After that I had to go find out what it was and so the obsession began!

Hi Vladimir

It sounds like an interesting project, there are many melody lines to use from music from Afghanistan, You can hear a little melody played on oudh by following this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTHc3NFEZ8o, where my friend Jassim plays a little afghani tune in the beginning 1 and ½ min I think from the start. It can be played on duduk, but you have to be very skilled, and maybe use a duduk in A with a duduk in D.
Just to mention, there is no limit for the duduk or wright or wrong use for this instrument. The only limit is located between peoples ears, and I think there is a lot of limits out there in the world, so let music and art break down walls
best regards and happy new year HRIMNIR
