Dan has worked as a sound designer/editor, music composer and 3d designer for 20 years, focusing on the Museum, Visitor Attraction and Brand Experience sectors, working in both film and site-specific installations. He is normally involved from concept storyboard to completion and on-site installation and sound mix. Sometimes the projects will be an immersive experience, synchronised to moving images or interactives, or they might accompany a view, an architectural building, an artistic installation or a specific exhibition. This combination of sound and 3d disciplines gives Dan a unique perspective.
