Our Concept & our Team
What Makes OTICONS such a unique Talent Agency
The name "oticons" is a combination of the ancient Greek words "ota" (ears) and "ikon" (image). We created it in order to give our very own definition of Film Music: images which can be heard, music which can tell a story; or in one word... Oticons. Based on that concept, Oticons Ltd., was founded as a Talent Agency for Film Composers. It operates globally and specializes in facilitating international co-productions.
As a Europe-based agency, naturally our niche is to work with independent filmmakers on their projects, always trying to help them find the right Music solutions; within Brief, Deadline & Budget, no matter how low or high, complicated or not. This approach in conjunction with our expertise in international co-productions, has been a key factor for our success all these years. Our focus is simple: to always successfully match-make the right composer with the right director and the right story, facilitating at the same time all production aspects and/or co-production limitations.
And we could only accomplish that if we were representing outstanding talents, film scoring artists with a unique voice, flexibility & versatility, and music production capacities that are able to make happy any producer and any director of any kind of audiovisual project.
George Christopoulos
"Music should be an extra invisible element that adds Life to a Film, not one more headache for a Production."
Stavros Platsis
"There is no bigger satisfaction than to share with the world, partners and services that turn ideas into films."
