Christopher Burke, a renowned composer, began his musical journey by learning the guitar during his childhood years. He then furthered his education by attending the prestigious New York University film school in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Burke's early career in the film industry saw him working as a production assistant on the 1980 film "Mother's Day". However, it was in the summer of 1981 that he took the leap to compose the score for the 1984 film "Splatter University".
Fast forward to the year 2001, Burke ventured into the world of "chip music", a genre that utilizes vintage video game consoles and handhelds such as the Atari ST and Commodore 64 to create unique and captivating melodies. This innovative approach has been a significant part of his work ever since.
In addition to his composing and music-making endeavors, Burke has also had a successful career in the advertising industry, working on various TV commercials. Furthermore, he has also taken on the role of a teacher, sharing his knowledge and expertise with others.
