Chris Richmond is a UK-based sound recordist, composer and filmmaker whose diverse interests in history, music, and film saw the birth of Norfolk Uncovered, an online video series documenting unloved architecture in Chris's home county of Norfolk. While the narrative was provided by his Grandfather, Mike Richmond, part of the challenge was to compose and design the soundtrack to capture the dark, eerie atmosphere of some of the locations. Chris graduated from the College of West Anglia in 2004 with a BTEC Nat. Award in Music Technology.
A perfectionist at heart, Chris' fine attention to detail shows in his ever-expanding collection of sound recordings. "Whenever I sit down and watch something on TV, or a film, I always find myself picking out the slightest little things. One of my pet peeves is hearing the overused stock sound effects; you know the ones: That squeaky door opening, the generic thunderclap you've heard in every other Hollywood film... I believe it's called dramatic license, but sometimes I just think that sound designer could have paid a little more attention to detail."
Chris' involvement in the public transport industry has seen him gain access to a detailed variety of sounds from buses and railway vehicles throughout the UK. One of his specialties, Chris knows every little sound that makes up the character of an individual vehicle from his daily experience driving buses and this is reflected in his accurate descriptions within each sound file.
