Gordian Gleiss Managing Director
EightSix

Gordian Gleiß is a creative director and music strategist based in Europe, working at the intersection of film, sound, and brand communication. He is the founder and managing director of EightSix GmbH, a studio specializing in original music, sonic branding, and audio post production for film, advertising, and digital formats.

Over the past decade, Gordian has collaborated with international agencies, production companies, and global brands, developing music and sound concepts that are closely aligned with narrative, visual language, and cultural context. His work spans commercial films, brand campaigns, and long term sonic identity systems, with a strong focus on emotional clarity and storytelling through sound.

Gordian’s background combines hands on creative work with a strategic understanding of brand communication. He is particularly interested in how music shapes perception, memory, and meaning in moving image, and how sonic decisions can elevate craft rather than decorate it.

In recent years, his work has increasingly explored new production models, including the responsible use of technology and AI in music creation, while maintaining high artistic standards and authorship. As a jury member, Gordian brings a sharp ear for detail, respect for craft, and a strong belief that sound is a core narrative force in brilliant filmmaking.
