Chris Burt

Chris Burt is an Auckland based sound designer. Coming from a background in music (as a drummer in the Techtones and Stridulators, and as a mixer) he started in the sound industry as an assistant on Trial Run in 1983, and later designed the sound for classic short Kitchen Sink. He set up his own studio The Inside Track in 1992, and has worked on many classic Kiwi features, from Footrot Flats to In My Father's Den.

 

We’re just trying to help tell a story, which is why I see sound designing as an art rather than a technical exercise. Sure we do technical things to get there but ultimately we’re enhancing the story and the drama.
