Composer & Music Producer

Paula Dueñas is a Barcelona-based composer and music producer working across video games, audiovisual media and artist projects. Her work focuses on storytelling through music, creating scores that support narrative, emotion and character while adapting seamlessly to the needs of each project.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music Production from the University of Barcelona (ENTI-UB) and a Master’s degree in Film & Game Scoring from ESMUC (Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya), where she specialized in composing music for image and interactive media.

Paula’s musical language draws from both classic and contemporary film scoring traditions. Her influences range from Max Steiner’s foundational orchestral storytelling to modern composers such as John Powell, with a strong admiration for Danny Elfman’s stylistic versatility and Bernard Herrmann’s narrative precision and emotional subtlety. These references shape her approach to music as an integral narrative element rather than a purely decorative layer.

Her credits include additional music for the video game Three Minutes to Midnight (ScareCrow Studio), contributing to the game’s atmospheric and narrative depth, as well as music production for the band Fresqui, overseeing creative and technical aspects to define a cohesive sonic identity.

Comfortable working with orchestral writing, hybrid scores and electronic textures, Paula approaches every collaboration with flexibility, attention to detail and a strong narrative sensibility, aiming to enhance the emotional impact of each story.
