Kris Fenske grew up around the muddy waters of Manitoba. During these formative years he would regularly take long drives through the open prairies with his grandparents. Often during these trips he would feel the compulsion to try and vocalize what the various things crossing his eyesight might sound like as they sped by the car window. His grandmother became so frustrated with this behavior interrupting a particularly quiet drive once that she turned around towards the backseat and exclaimed, 'Is this what you're going to do for the rest of your life?'. She was the first person he called when he got his first gig making sounds for a living, and has been happy to remind her how telling it all was ever since..- Sound Department
