Music and sound studio Barking Owl has opened an office in New York, expanding beyond its established L.A. operation.
Helping to lead the effort at Barking Owl NY is a new hire, Elizabeth McClanahan, who brings with her 13 years of sound experience, most recently as mixer/sound designer at Heard City in New York. McClanahan has a wide range of expertise, from working on analog jazz recordings in New Orleans to mixing sound for major clients such as Google and Budweiser to leading sound design on award-winning films. Joining McClanahan in the New York studio are executive producer Ashley Benton and sound designer/mixer Dan Flosdorf, who both come over from Barking Owl’s L.A. studio.
“Opening a New York studio was always a dream and it’s so exciting to see it come true,” said Kelly Bayett, Barking Owl’s co-founder and creative director. “When we expanded, we were careful to make sure that the creative and culture of the studio was still at our insanely high standards. To make sure that everything is consistent and our capabilities flow seamlessly across the nation, our EP Ashley Benton moved to NY from L.A. You can expect the music, sound design and mix in NY to be as incredible as it is in L.A. as we have picked the very best artists available and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the Barking Owl experience to New York!”
Barking Owl NY is designed around client services and client care as well as being a highly functional space with state-of-the-art audio technology and talented artisans to facilitate and nurture artful, human-centric storytelling. The New York quarters include a luxurious conference room which allows client privacy outside of the editing suite, a full-size kitchen and other assorted amenities.
