Jude Duane is a composer and sound artist whose work merges plunderphonic intensity with Post-Internet edge; one listener compared it to “niche internet micro genres invading a classical music concert.” Based in New Jersey, Jude’s music has been performed by ensembles such as the Kompass Ensemble, newCELF, Osmose Intermezzo, Sputter Box, and the Bergamot Quartet. He has been a resident at leading contemporary music programs including New Music on the Point, the Summer Institute of Contemporary Performance Practice (SICPP), and Divergent Studio.

​

A pianist since kindergarten and a trombonist since the fourth grade, music has always been Jude’s language of connection. He found in music not just a form of self-expression, but a bridge to community. This path naturally led to composing. He is currently in the Doctor of Musical Arts program at the Manhattan School of Music, studying with Dr. David Adamcyk. Previously, he completed the Bachelor of Music program at Montclair State University and the Master of Music program at New Jersey City University.

Jude is also a professional archivist with current work at the Ironbound Community Corporation and prior experience with Cengage and the Institute of Jazz Studies.
