ep 021 – Melissa + Matt Dunphy on Music and Sound Design for Puppet Theatre


On this episode we're joined by Melissa and Matt Dunphy who are here to de-mystify the world of music composition and sound design for puppet theatre!

Melissa is the Director of Music Composition at the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and has her doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Pennsylvania. Matt is a master of electronic sound design and synth music and performs in numerous bands. Together, they are owners of The Hannah Callowhill Stage and hosts of The Boghouse Podcast.

You will not want to miss our deep-dive into creating score for theatre... We cover everything from how music can shape a performance, the importance of story and emotion in developing new works, and even how best to network with musicians on your own pieces. It's a hilarious, info-rich chat -- so put on some eye shadow and tune right on in!
