Watson is one of the world's leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena, and for Touch he edits his field recordings into

a filmic narrative. For example. the unearthly groaning of ice in an Icelandic glacier is a classic example of, in Watson's words,

putting a microphone where you can't put your ears. He was born in Sheffield where he attended Rowlinson School and Stannington

College (now part of Sheffield College). In 1971 he was a founding member of the influential Sheffield-based experimental music

group Cabaret Voltaire. His sound recording career began in 1981 when he joined Tyne Tees Television. Since then he has developed

a particular and passionate interest in recording the wildlife sounds of animals, habitats and atmospheres from around the world. As

a freelance recordist for film, TV & radio, Chris Watson specialises in natural history and documentary location sound together with

track assembly and sound design in post-production. www.chriswatson.com
