About Me


Rob Crowston I own Wordnoise. I'm an award winning multimedia producer with a background in radio, television. advertising and multimedia. A sound engineer, producer, writer and voice-over artist. You've heard my work in many radio and TV spots, documentaries, corporate videos, audio walking tours and on-line. I'm an instructor at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, an instructor at Langara Community College and on a good day, a passable media trainer. My passions lie in high end audio, deep in the heart of the Hi-Fi jungle, music, recording, film, fiction and art. I'm fascinated by architecture, design, technology and their impact on our culture. I like to think I'm quick witted, funny and kind - these attributes however are yet to be substantiated.
