S2: EP27: Sound Is Never Accidental - This Is ADMI ft Chris Adwar

Chris Adwar, a seasoned music producer and lecturer at ADMI, breaks down the world of Foley, ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement), and multitrack recording. He explains how background sounds are carefully crafted to bring scenes to life, and how even dialogue in noisy environments is often recreated in controlled studio settings. With a rich background as an artist, producer, music director, and judge on shows like Tusker Project Fame, Chris shares how teaching was never a plan—it was something that naturally emerged from his work with ensembles, choirs, and bands. Now at ADMI, he blends his industry experience with classroom instruction, guiding students with practical knowledge and lived insights. For Chris, joining ADMI wasn’t just a career move—it was a privilege. Surrounded by young creatives, he continues to evolve, collaborate, and stay relevant. From translating classic scenes into Sheng to building immersive soundscapes with students, he sees teaching as a two-way exchange of inspiration and growth. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
