The Cargo Cult

The easiest person to fool is yourself. 

Instructional videos and user interviews from The Cargo Cult – designers of Matchbox, Spanner, Slapper, Envy & Stemcell. 

We're a boutique software company designing innovative audio plugins and tools for music, sound design and film post-production professionals.

Our tools have been battle-hardened and tested on some of the biggest-ever productions. If you've watched any major film or streaming service recently, you've likely heard the effect of our products.

Software engineers talk of cargo cult programming: the ritualistic perpetuation of practices that may not be necessary – but who can recall?

In product design, we are even more wooed by dogma: mimicry of hardware, analog circuitry and re-enactments of ancient workflows in the digital domain.

So we call ourselves “The Cargo Cult” – a reminder that the easiest person to fool is yourself.
