When I was a little boy and got into trouble, my Dad would
work the ‘discussion’ regarding my latest less than brilliant move,
around to a point where invariably I would have to say ” I didn’t think…” hoping to add something like “…the window would be in the way”, or that “…the sink would overflow”, or “…the deck
would catch fire”, but he of course wo... Continue reading ...

Has it really been so long? So long since I had anything to say, to pass on, to contribute? Sadly, thus is so. Perhaps I might might kick start my sorry ass with these fine words I encountered just a few moments ago: Dr. King once said:
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial
political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome
oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.

When I was little, very little, I really did have the storybook about the ‘Little Engine that Could’. There was a record too, a 45, it was yellow, called ‘ Little by Little' - the song was about taking on a challenge and having the stuff to at least try something. Then there was a train set that my parents surprised the Hell out of me with as a Christmas present one year… and my Dad hadn’t gone to the local toy store and picked out one of those boring boxed sets, he’d gone to the ...

I am a recording engineer, I have always made my living rotating knobs, pushing faders and moving microphones. Long ago, in my radio days, I was the Production Manager of a major market station. These guys had money, times were good and I had a supportive Chief Engineer ( the solder kind of engineer ) who let me have real and meaningful input into the design of our production facilities. Thanks Jack! We were moving from an ancient facility built in the 50's across the pond to a brand new purp... Continue reading ...

About Me
| Rob Crowston |
| Vancouver, British Columbia |
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've been an instructor at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, am currently an instructor at Langara Community College and 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.
