We are a Creative Sound Studio

Sound is – at least – half the picture. We collaborate with our clients to produce outstanding custom sonic content.

CYPHER was founded in 2000 by John Black, and has since evolved into a globally recognized studio with a team of international artists.

CYPHER crafts dynamic, high quality aural experiences for visual content and beyond. We are passionate about music and sound design, and the ways that they intersect and interact to tell stories.

We have designed sound and music for curated art, feature film, broadcast network, motion graphics, commercial, AAA gaming, interactive, site-specific installation, AR/VR, & Procedural/Generative Audio Systems.
