Bio
Barnaby Bristol has been passionate about music and audio technology since boyhood, when he could be found dutifully practicing the piano after dinner or chasing his older brother to rock 'n'roll band practice. Barnaby's high school strong suit was accompanying and music directing in theater, forming and playing in bands and pushing the available audio technology to its limits. With a Bachelor of Arts in Music from a midwest, liberal arts college, he landed in New York City's mid '80s music scene. After four years of session work, Barnaby moved to Washington, DC where he has recorded and mixed advertisement, political advertisement and production music. The mid 1990s brought about a Peabody Award for production on the radio drama, Kinetic City Super Crew. Television post production experience came about as a result of cooperative arrangements supplying audio services to some of DC's top tier post production houses including Henninger 1150 Post and Audiomaster. Today, Barnaby works out of his studio in downtown Silver Spring, MD.
