High Quality & Value
-
Using professional recording equipment enables us to capture our clients' character as well as their content
-
Careful sound and video editing retains our clients' authentic selves
-
Our natural tendency to try and accommodate our clients' most desired preferences before, during and after recording sessions leads to trust, confidence and excitement for the 'end product'
Why do we do this?
Because we think it's really important and special (and our clients do too)
Stories build connection between people - especially families, and we think everyone could use more of that.
Personal messages enable people to express themselves more clearly and affectively so that those they care about can hear, feel and remember them better - and we know that is really meaningful.
Humaniscent finds great purpose in helping people recall, tell, and memorialize stories from their past, and messages for the future. We aim to achieve great social beauty.
-
Bringing loved ones closer together
-
Helping groups better understand their roots and their potential
-
Ensuring that our fellow humans know that they are never alone, AND are instead, forever loved - by those who are here, and those who are no longer
-
And perhaps most importantly, instigating heart-hugging fun for all who experience our special projects

Chris Van Denburg - Lead
Over the years I've developed a deep compassion for people's personal histories and their desire for others to know them and express themselves better. I've also amassed a catalogue of fun, inspiring and story-producing questions that I love using to bring out the essence of people based on their experiences, thoughts, and dreams.
