A BIGGER NOISE

Sydney based music production company NOISE has expanded into the world of audio post, by adding a new studio at their Pyrmont flagship offices. The ‘Posterboys Of Advertising Music’ in Sydney, Dan Higson and Bruce Heald, say that their brand new studio is “finished and ready to make some noise”.

Although Noise have been involved with audio post since day one – in fact last year Noise were finalists at the 2007 AWARD Awards for their sound design work on Panasonic ‘Fish’ – this studio expansion means Noise have also added a new member to their team of professionals. After a worldwide search for the right fit, Noise have finally found a dedicated sound designer/engineer in the guise of the lovely and talented Kathleen Burrows.

Kathleen cut her teeth on the mixing desk at Song Zu during their heyday but soon moved to London to expand her knowledge of the art, working at Soho Studios for a few years. She then returned to Sydney for a brief stint as Senior Engineer at Zero1Zero, only to fly the nest overseas again and take up a post at Canada’s CBC TV running their busy audio dept. The Noise boys finally managed to entice her back to Australia to work as their very own Noisemaker.

Says Higson: “Kathleen is at the top of her game, so we’ll need to lift our standards to keep up with her! Having worked together at Song Zu, I can safely say that she’s one of Australia’s most talented and promising young sounddesigners … but more importantly, she is quite honestly the nicest, warmest and hardest-working person I have had the pleasure to work with. In fact I don’t know how Noise has come this far without her!”
