Squeak E. Clean Studios Melbourne has expanded its capabilities again after a substantial business growth spurt, adding sound designer, Dee Gjedsted.
Gjedsted arrives with an impressive history of experience in sound design, music production and voice casting and has recently worked for Bank of Melbourne, Mercedes, Suzuki, Victoria Racing Club and Lucky Nuts.
The challenge of interpreting briefs and translating creative ideas is his forte. He most recently filled the role of sound designer, music producer and TVC-for-cinema mixer at Risk Sound and has worked with studios such as DK, Metropolis Audio, Flagstaff Studios and Song Zu. Gjedsted was the founder of music studio, Prolific Music, which he led for five years, working exclusively on music production.
The appointment reunites Gjedsted with close industry collaborators, studio head of sound design, Paul Le Couteur, and executive producer, Ceri Davies.
He commented, “To my mind, Squeak E. Clean Studios is the top player in Australia so this presents a big drawcard. Working again with Ceri and Paul, people I love collaborating with, meant I didn’t have to think twice! The quality of work and the way Squeak E. Clean as a business handles itself is something I’ve also always long respected. The work is top shelf and the company is progressive in how it nurtures local talent – whether that is across sound or performance, so that’s another huge attraction.”
With his background in music production, Gjedsted says that he is excited to join forces with an audio network housing a bigger picture creative outlook, encompassing advertising but also entertainment, gaming and technology, as well as a chance to flex his ear with international briefs from the New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Austin studios and establish new collaborations with Squeak E. Clean’s local agency partners and directors.
Squeak E. Clean Studios Melbourne executive producer, Ceri Davies, stated, “I’m so happy to be back working with Dee. He is an exceptional sound designer who truly understands the art of collaboration and the sometimes-wacky journey of production. He loves the experimental side of audio; workshopping new ideas with creatives and he isn’t shy on pushing the creative elements of sound design to expand on the potential of any soundtrack. His skill set, resilience and discipline as a creative person (and as a golfer) is second to none, and we know we’re going to love working with him every day.”
