This is who we are

Red Umbrella Studio was founded on a simple belief: the world has enough safe sound. It needs bold sound. Sound that serves the story. Sound that captures what words can't. Sound that refuses to blend in.

Our Approach

We're concept-driven experimentalists with a commitment to craft. That means:

  • We lead with narrative, not trends

  • We use unconventional techniques and sound sources to find what's distinctive

  • We pursue excellence in everything from creative strategy to final delivery

  • We're creatively agnostic—the challenge excites us more than the client title

Whether it's scoring an immersive NASA experience, building a sonic identity for a disruptive brand, or designing sound for an independent film, we bring the same philosophy: bold thinking, executed beautifully.

Who We Are

Red Umbrella is a studio founded by award winner composer and producer Raphael Costa, working with a curated network of world-class composers, sound designers, and audio specialists. This nimble structure means you get boutique attention with the ability to scale for any project.

Our backgrounds span film scoring, commercial production, experimental music, and immersive audio—giving us the range to tackle whatever creative challenge you bring.

Who We Work With

We partner with the creatively ambitious:

  • Filmmakers pushing narrative boundaries

  • Brands building sonic identities that break conventions

  • Creative agencies seeking audio partners who think beyond the brief

  • Production companies creating immersive experiences

What matters isn't your industry or budget—it's your commitment to creating something that stands out and willingness to do it right.

We're selective about our projects because we're invested in your success, not just the deliverable.

Let's Create Something Bold

If you're ready to stop sounding like everyone else, we should talk.
