ACM was pleased to welcome audio producer, artist, composer and sound engineer Chris Smith to the Guildford campus to deliver a guest lecture to ACM Creative Sound Design students.
About Chris Smith
Coming from a background which combined pop music with teaching, Chris founded Final Touch Productions in 1988, and subsequently established himself as one of the UK’s leading producers of media music. As well as being instrumental in developing the careers of many talented composers, his own work as a composer spans songwriting, TV and radio commercials to scores for stage and television.
Chris is also actively engaged with the administrative and political issues facing the music industry. He sits on the boards of PCAM and BASCA and works actively within Europe on the board of FFACE, the Federation of Film and Audio-visual Composers of Europe. In February 2009, Chris was elected to the board of the MCPS.
