We build the sound
that carries every story
Editorial, sound design, and final mix for film, streaming, and branded content
Built on decades of sound innovation
Wild Woods was founded by Derek Luff in 1988 and later expanded with Richard Gelles into the iconic Centrum Building on Cahuenga West, across from Universal Studios in Los Angeles.
Over the decades, Wild Woods became known as an industry-leading sound house, earning multiple Primetime Emmy and Academy Award recognitions across documentary, feature film, high-end unscripted, and branded content.
Today, Wild Woods Sound offers a full suite of creative sound services, including remastering, audio description, and foreign dubbing. Through its XTracks division, Wild Woods is also recognized globally as a pioneer in sound separation technology with its proprietary Xtraction platform.
Alongside Wild Woods Sound is DL Music, founded by Derek Luff. A Berklee College of Music alum, Luff partnered again with Richard Gelles in the early 1990s to build a music licensing and publishing company serving productions of every scale.
Together, Wild Woods Sound, XTracks, and DL Music form a comprehensive creative ecosystem for studios, networks, streamers, and global branded content creators.
