Summer in Winona is a great time for all kinds of events and festivals, and one of our favorites is the Great River Shakespeare Festival. Today on Art Beat we learn about sound tech with Scott O’Brien. Scott is the composer and sound designer for MacBeth and also the sound designer for No Child this year. Scott fills us in on what a sound designer does and what it takes to compose music for the stage. This is also Scott’s first year with the Great River Shakespeare Festival so he’s got a fresh perspective on Winona and the festival to share with us. I’m Bill Stoneberg, with composer and sound designer Scott O’Brien, on Art Beat. Original Air Date: 07/09/19. Art Beat is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
