Duane Frybarger spent much of his youth working as both a soloist and accompanist for church, school and private functions. At the age of 26, he began composing, primarily in a jazz/pop vein. Several years of writing led him back to the Classical era for studies and compositions. Over a period of five years, he wrote a wide variety of Symphonic Suites, Piano Etudes and various chamber pieces. In 1995, he contributed some previously written works as well as a specifically composed piece for a PBS TV segment on Alternative AIDS treatments His music was featured in Keyboard Magazine's Discoveries column in September of 1996 and he has written technical articles for a small publication in Oregon, the Transoniq Hacker. His debut release "A Musical Feast", recorded under the name "Pangaea World Orchestra", gained airplay on more than 100 stations on five different continents in 1997. This release was an eclectic blend of World, Jazz, Pop and New Age musics. His current release, "A Road Less Traveled", is an album of Neo-Classical works for piano and chamber orchestra that has gained impressive airplay on numerous New Age/Easy Listening radio stations and programs. He is currently working on his third album. In addition, he continues to promote his music on the Internet as well as to both Commercial and Public radio stations.Have you performed in front of an audience?In my studio. I played many live gigs in churches, clubs and concerts years ago and never cared for it. When I discovered composing, and more specifically, the magic of MIDI, I knew I had found my calling.
