Our Story

Transforming the world, through sound.

 

About Goblins and other mythical creatures

We are Black Goblin: an Edinburgh-based Sound design and Technology company.

‘Black Goblin’ combines our favourite colour and mythical creature, simple, but very meaningful to us.

Despite our name, you will not see a lot of Goblins or mythological creatures around. However, this quirky name is a vehicle for us to create an environment of outside-of-the-box thinking, accessibility and even magic, and quite honestly, it also allows us to be a bit nerdy, which we love.

Who are we?

We are sound experts, artists, developers and our eclectic background is our strength when working with you.

Whichever way you choose to tell your story, we will fight side by side to achieve your artistic goal.

Gabrielle Haley and Ana Betancourt - Black Goblin’s Co-founders

Our Mission

Black Goblin is the culmination of over a decade of work in the creative industries.

Co-founded by sound design duo, Ana Betancourt and Gabrielle Haley, this company is built on an alliance with a common cause: accessible sound design for all.

“We have a passion for sound and for the creative industries, particularly independent creators who are the source of so much talent in the UK and the rest of the world.”

- Gabrielle Haley

“Black Goblin is our way to unite forces with visionaries that need to use sound as (quite literally) a voice to bring their work to the masses. Filmmakers, game designers, inventors, artists, Black Goblin is for all of them.”

- Ana Betancourt

Your Vision. Your Sound. Black Goblin.
