OMR’s premier in-house collective creating original, cinematic scores written specifically for picture.
The Sound Forge Collective is OMR’s premier in-house group of elite artists and composers — creators who operate at the intersection of musical mastery, technical excellence, and cinematic storytelling. Launching January 15, the Collective represents the highest tier of talent within the OMR ecosystem: artists who not only excel in their craft, but who also possess the production capability, creative discipline, and narrative instinct required to deliver world-class original scores — written specifically for picture.
Curated and directed by award-winning composer Elmer Ferrer, the Sound Forge Collective brings together musicians whose work already lives on the OMR platform and who share a clear passion for scoring to visual media. Members are selected based on proven ability — many have placed music in film, television, or media, or have built award-winning careers that reflect both artistic depth and professional reliability.
The mission is both simple and ambitious: to create original cinematic scores on demand — tailored, emotionally resonant, and production-ready for any project.
From intimate character moments to expansive orchestral landscapes, from modern hybrid scoring to genre-specific sound worlds, the Collective is built to meet the needs of any producer, director, or music supervisor — at any scale, in any style, without compromise.
The Sound Forge Collective is not a roster. It is a creative standard — a focused, collaborative scoring force designed to deliver exceptional original music with precision, intent, and cinematic purpose.
Award-winning composer and producer guiding the Collective’s creative standard, composer matching, and scoring direction to ensure every project is cinematic, intentional, and production-ready.
Sound Forge Collective is built from a select group of OMR artists chosen for their cinematic instincts, technical excellence, and ability to write to picture. Each member brings a distinct voice while meeting a shared creative standard.
