Sound post-production and original music composition house Otis Studios launches in OZ

Award winning composers and sound designers Lukas Farry and Alejandro (Alex) Gomez have launched Otis Studios, a sound post-production and original music composition studio in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Having only just opened its doors, Otis has created the music score in the recent Officeworks, ‘A Small Story‘ campaign for AJF Partnership via Revolver/Will O’Rourke, and the SEEK, ‘Why Settle?‘ campaign for Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne.

Farry (above, right) and Gomez (above, left) have a combined experience of over 30 years working in music production, sound design, sound post and music composition for different media including advertising, film and TV. The duo has worked on many brands including Pepsi, ALDI, NRMA, Audi, Toyota and Tiger Beer. They are past winners of a Bronze Pencil at AWARD for best music score for Steinlager Beer TV.

Says Farry: “We met while working together almost ten years ago and quickly struck up a friendship based around our love of music production. This relationship has made it easy for us to collaborate and starting Otis has been an ambition of ours since the very beginning.”

Otis was born from a dream to create a commercial studio that could also serve as a music label. After running a music label for nearly a decade in New Zealand, together with their subsequent experience in advertising, they realised the immense creative possibilities if they combined both these worlds.

After an extensive search for the right space and a thorough fit out, Otis Studios opened its doors. Their new music label Sobriquet is currently producing artists in Sydney and Melbourne for future release. 

Says Gomez: “We hail from opposite parts of the globe – Colombia and New Zealand – and our music is reflective of this difference in experience and culture. Our common ground is that we both have knowledge and experience in music composition and sound design. Having an understanding of both disciplines means we can seamlessly work and support each other in all our work.”
