Discography
“Color” (2009)
Cyfer’s debut album and creative statement. Conceived as a retrograde journey — beginning from an initial contemplative theme and returning to it through a trance-like outro — “Color” is an exploration of the individual’s place in a fractured world.
Musicians: Cyfer (vocals, guitar), Alex Lambrino (bass, vocals), Doru Diaconu (drums), Irina Creangă (vocals), Iulia Gheorghe (cello), Sudhir (Indian tabla), Silviu Iliescu (guitar), Victor Panfilov (percussion)

“Povestile Bluesului / Blues Stories” (2009)
The first album from Trenul de Noapte’s quintet formation. Recorded at the end of 2008, it captures the magic of the guitar-harmonica dialogues between Cyfer and Marcian Petrescu, with special guest appearance by Grammy-winner Sugar Blue.
Notable tracks: “Iubirea Ta E Ca Un Cancer” (12:22), “Cold Cold Feeling” (12:02) — extended blues explorations that showcase Cyfer’s improvisational depth.
“Falling Up”
A transatlantic collaboration — Southern rock and Americana filtered through an Eastern European sensibility. Cyfer on guitar, vocals, harmonica, and mandolin alongside Tennessee bassist and vocalist Terry Lee Burns.
