JOSEPH LoDUCA
Evil Dead (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - (1982)

Joeseph LoDuca's score for The Evil Dead is a study in contrasts. Some of its pieces are moody and even old-fashioned in composition and execution, heavy as they are on piano and strings. They are of themselves impressive. Many of the tracks make liberal use of synthesized notes, sometimes interwoven with the more traditional instruments. As you get deeper into the album, LoDuca increasingly chooses a seemingly chaotic combination of instruments, creating a manic sense that fits the film and is an exciting listening experience.

JOSEPH LoDUCA
Army Of Darkness (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - (1993)

Danny Elfman, who composed the score for Darkman, wrote the "March of the Dead" theme for Army of Darkness, but after the re-shoots were completed, Evil Dead II composer Joseph LoDuca returned to score the new film. LoDuca sat down with Raimi and they went over the entire film, scene by scene. The composer used his knowledge of synthesizers and was able to present many cues in a mock-up form before he took them in front of an orchestra.

JOSEPH LoDUCA
Evil Dead 2 (Original Soundtrack) - (1987)
By the age of 15, LoDuca was opening for rock legends Bob Seger, Ted Nugent and the MC5 in smoky Detroit clubs and sneaking into Jeff Beck concerts. He was hooked. Onward to formal training in jazz and classical music, at the University of Michigan and in New York City. He plugged into the jazz culture. Submerged himself in music from around the world. Performed at jazz festivals in Europe. Was asked to tour with major recording artists, but he preferred composing - - it let him run freely among the disciplines without getting caught.
One day, a director friend said, "you know, you'd be good at scoring films." Within a few years he was awarded a Prime Time Emmy, eight nominations, numerous ASCAP awards and was named "Horror Film Composer of the Year." The director was Sam Raimi, and it all began with Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. It continues today with films like Boogeyman.
His credits also include the César-nominated score for the French international film Brotherhood of the Wolf, and the worldwide syndicated television series Xena: Warrior Princess.
