Project Overview

The Sound centers around Minnesota music and the people behind the making of it. Interviews with artists (many of whom produce and engineer their own work) who discuss the creative process, and their passion for making music. From the writing and arranging to the recording and distribution process. The show is an interview format that includes music from the guests. In short, we're spinning and talking about Minnesota music with the people who make it.
