Levi Cuijpers (Cuijk, 1993) is a Dutch sound designer and re-recording mixer who graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy in 2023, specialising in Sound Design. In his work, he enjoys thinking conceptually and in close collaboration with filmmakers about the narrative and the role of sound within a story. With a passion for the perception of sound, he explores how sound can be experienced emotionally and physically, on both a conscious and subconscious level. Through experimental research, including the use of microphones to listen to and record the sounds of his own skeleton, he continues to develop a distinctive approach and personal sound language.

Immediately after graduating, Levi began working as supervising sound editor on Occupied City Artwork, created by director Steve McQueen. The 34-hour video artwork features six-channel sound and was first presented at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
