If you currently lead music, play in a band, sing in a choir, or in any way participate in a Bible believing Christ centered church here in Tallahassee, we invite you to join us each month for a few hours of sharing, encouraging, critiquing and growing together as a community of musicians writing songs for our local churches. 

It is our hope to see a thriving culture of song writing for God spring up and grow here in Tallahassee.  It is our prayer that music writing will once again be a norm in Bible believing churches all across America, and that communities of believers composing songs for each moment and place across the world will give witness to what the Spirit of God is doing in every people and nation to where the gospel has been planted. 

Two years ago, we hosted an open house in the middle of our studio's build process to show of some of the construction methods.  Now, after many hours of hard work and patience from friends and family we are ecstatic to share the final fruit of those labors with you all. Sound of Cypress is now officially open.

The open house will include snacks, a short presentation at 2 PM and open tours of the facility throughout the afternoon. Come celebrate with us we kick off an exciting new year. 

This event is hosted in our home.  Please contact us at info@soundofcypress.com for directions.

Ever artist must practice their craft.  This is no less true for recording studios.  Our instruments, our mics, our rooms in fact are the tools of our trade. At Sound of Cypress, our Studio Practice Days are how we improve our craft.  Usually focused around a specific instrument, practice days involve inviting a musician or two with their equipment to set in our tracking room and let us practice and play together to experiment with techniques and tricks that we usually would not have time for during our typical tight recording schedules.  At the end of each session the musician gets the chance to track a short take of their choice which can be taken home free of charge.  It is a direct trade-for-trade.  Your equipment, your talent, our studio.  If you are interested participating in one of our practice days, please contact us at info@soundofcypress.com. 

We have the poly-cylindrical diffusors built and the backing board installed on the ceiling.  Next up is mounting the bass traps at the top of the peak and in the corners of the room .

Come join us for a hands-on tutorial by helping us through the process.

Come observe (and assist if you are able) as we build the ceiling diffusers and bass trap acoustics for the studio .
