After over 50 years working in sound, I’ve hung up the headphones.
Originally from the UK, I trained in the 60s at ATV in London, before moving to the BBC. In 1972 I took on the role of chief technical officer to the Government of Malawi, managing sound requirements for the President's office. Then, in 1975, I moved to New Zealand to help establish the audio end of Vidcom – the country's first broadcast-capable production house. From the late 70s I began freelancing, working on seminal NZ films such as Smash Palace, The Quiet Earth, Death Warmed Up, international productions such as Nagisa Ôshima's Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, and multiple Cousteau Society docu-series. I’ve since worked on productions in some 30 countries – and with some amazing people.
