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.
