Immersive Sound Creation Studio
Cosmotone is a sound creation studio specialized in immersive experiences, founded in 2017 by sound designer Côme Jalibert.
Based in Nice at the Studios de la Victorine, the studio combines creativity and technology to develop distinctive sonic worlds and design audio interactions tailored to immersive formats (XR, VR, AR).
Cosmotone supports directors, producers, and creative studios in the development of innovative projects at the crossroads of cinema, video games, and new immersive forms of storytelling.
The studio works closely with creators, overseeing the sound direction of their projects and fostering collaboration across all sound departments: music, voice, and sound design.
Cosmotone is involved at every stage of sound creation for immersive projects:
- Sound design and sound creation
- Sound supervision and audio team management
- Native immersive editing and mixing
- 3D audio spatialization
- Audio integration with middleware (FMOD, Wwise)
- Audio integration within real-time engines / game engines (Unity, Unreal Engine)
- Voice recording, foley, ambiences, ADR, VR shoots
- Development of project-specific audio tools
- Audio testing, debugging, and profiling
The studio primarily collaborates with production companies specialized in immersive storytelling, such as Atlas V, Lucid Realities, and Small Creative, on works presented at international festivals (Venice Immersive, SXSW…) or deployed in cultural institutions and museums.
