Chris Green
Crytek
Director of Music + Audio // Games
Chris trained on the world-renowned Tonmeister degree before continuing study at the Royal College of Music as a scholar (Lucy Ann Jones, Stanley Bligh, Ann Driver, Seary and Henry Wood Trust scholarships) under the tutelage of David Burnand. Here he built up an extensive network of world-class musicians that are regularly drawn upon to add vibrance and life to productions.
Beginning work in-house with the award-winning computer game audio teams of Electronic Arts and Criterion Games, Chris created visceral and groundbreaking audio and music for AAA games such as Harry Potter, Burnout and Need For Speed. He then moved into commercial advertising as a freelance composer and creative sound designer, writing music for worldwide campaigns including Premier League, Huawei, BBC Sport, Renault and Jaguar.
In 2016 Chris combined these two worlds, moving into the forefront of immersive and new-wave advertising, winning Two Golds & One Bronze Campaign Experience Awards for his work with Major League Baseball (Imagination). His recent projects in this area include working alongside Jeff Wayne on his War of The Worlds: Immersive Experience and a Hi-Tech, Multi-Sensory Bingo Experience called HiJinGo.
Coming full circle in 2021, Chris returned to the games world, joining awarding winning, independent games company Crytek as Director of Music and Audio, driving the audio and musical vision across all its output.
Chris's unique skillset and experience have developed a distinctive and in-demand compositional voice, combining technical proficiency earned at the leading edge of the games industry with classical and musical training from the worlds top conservatoire.
