Bio

Chris Trevino is an American field recordist and sound designer for games, films and interactive media. Chris was born and raised in Michigan’s rural Upper Peninsula among the postindustrial ruins of one of America’s largest copper mining districts. As an artist, he strives to document changing and disappearing sounds of our world in a way that is culturally and commercially accessible.

Chris graduated from Michigan Technological University with a Bachelors of Art in Sound Design, and studied Japanese at the Japan Center for Michigan Universities in Hikone, Shiga. As an undergraduate, he interned with Ric Viers, author of the Sound Effects Bible and owner of The Detroit Chop Shop, to record and edit commercial sound effects libraries for BlastwaveFX.  Shortly after graduating, he launched the “The Japan Sound Effects Collection”, a Kickstarter-funded solo 3-month backpacking trip throughout Japan to record regional soundscapes.
