Moray Macdonald is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. His output spans classical, electronica and ambient, with influences from his background in rock and progressive music.
From traditional forms to more experimental work he has written for film, theatre and art installations in addition to releasing his own work. He has his own studio in Wiltshire but enjoys sketching ideas and making field recordings away from the screen.
He is best known for his alter ego Cephid, where he creates progressive electronic music, performs live with a laser harp and for his work remixing Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

Outside of his work as Cephid, Moray also releases original and experimental music which can be found on Bandcamp, and on all major streaming services. His latest release, an ambient EP titled Vibrations from the Shoreline, was released in 2023. Inspired by and using sounds from the Cornish coastline, it continues the sonic landscape of dusty synth washes and subtle melodic lines blended with Moray's own field recordings, developed for his previous EP Four Perspectives.
