Biography
It could be argued that Bruno Barrett-Garnier’s natural habitat is the sound studio. He was playing around with old amplifiers and synthesizers around age 11, and went on to set up his own studio before leaving home. Born in Auckland but raised in Wellington, Barrett-Garnier began creating sound effects for local theatre productions at high school, aided by the discovery of an old monophonic synthesizer in the school music room.
