Found Objects, the original music and sound collective founded by film and TV composers Jay Wadley and Trevor Gureckis, has appointed Elijah B Torn as head of creative production. Torn will be overseeing the creative and production team, and focus on how to get the best creative work.
Torn, former global creative director at MassiveMusic New York, has a demonstrated history of working with brands and sound. In his 18+ years in the music industry, Torn has teamed with brands such as BMW, Coca-Cola, eBay and TikTok and he’s collaborated with artists ranging from Questlove to Becky G, and Michael Bolton, and has lent his talents to award-winning work for the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity as well as for the United Nations initiative “HeForShe” as well as The Ocean Agency.
Found Objects has turned out work for brands like Google, Nordstrom, Hennessy, YouTube, BMW and Oreo, among others. Credits also include composing original scores for award-winning filmmakers including M. Night Shyamalan, Charlie Kaufman, and James Schamus.
Torn commented, “I’ve known Jennie Armon (Found Objects executive producer) for years and the more I saw founders Jay Wadley and Trevor Gureckis’s names popping up on these high-profile films and TV projects, the bigger fan I became of Found Objects. The creative insight, passion and focus on creating amazing music couldn’t be more clear, and it shows, not just in the awards but in the creativity of work being produced. They have been building something truly wonderful, and with as much care for people as the music itself. As I help lead the creative and production team into new opportunities in sonic branding and bring my experience to the next act of Found Objects, I’m definitely excited for what the future holds.”
Found Objects is looking forward to releasing the much-anticipated Deadspace AAA Title Remake from EA Games in 2023, the season one conclusion of Hulu original series Tell Me Lies this fall, and season 4 of Servant in late winter 2023.
