Description

If you've seen 'The Band's Visit' you know how exquisite that show sounds, but while we couldn't get the entire band to visit us at in1, we have the man who makes that music shimmer, it's Tony Award winning Sound Designer Kai Harada! Kai drops by to discuss his design for that show and the challenges he faced with roving musicians, additional musicians under the stage, an incredibly nuanced score and often very subtle performances from it's stars. Speaking of subtle, he also let's us in on secrets from his intimate design in the round for 'Fun Home' and discusses how he made the Hudson theatre rock for 'Head Over Heels.' Cory and Kai also chat about his musical background, where he thinks the worst seats are in a theatre for sound, why sound designers end up designing mainly plays or musical but rarely both, and how young sound designers can market themselves for what is essentially an invisible art. Put on your best pair of headphones and spend the next 2 hours listening to the wisdom of one of the best!
