    Jeff Coffin, The Joy of Listening and Finding Meaning in the Art and Science of Sound

    What does it really mean to listen? In this episode of Hear Us Out, we welcome three-time Grammy Award-winning musician, composer, educator, producer, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Coffin. Best known for his work with the Dave Matthews Band and Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, Jeff has spent decades redefining what it means to create, perform, and connect through music. Our conversation begins with a question at the heart of this podcast: Where do the art and science of sound meet? From there, we explore why listening is one of the most important and often overlooked skills a musician can develop. Jeff shares his thoughts on improvisation, finding your own voice, collaborating with other artists, and the lifelong pursuit of creativity. Along the way, we dive into the unpredictable reality of performing live, discussing the moments when things don't go according to plan and how great musicians learn to embrace the unexpected. Jeff also offers fascinating insight into his experience with synesthesia, revealing how his unique perception of sound has influenced the way he creates and experiences music. As audiologists, we also discuss hearing conservation and the importance of protecting one of a musician's most valuable assets. Throughout the conversation, Jeff's curiosity, humility, and passion for music shine through, making this much more than a discussion about performing—it's a conversation about listening, creativity, and the human experience. Whether you're a musician, a Dave Matthews Band fan, an audiophile, or simply someone who appreciates thoughtful conversations, you'll come away hearing the world a little differently.

    Aran Tanchum; Behind the Sounds of Film: The Art of Foley

    What if most of what you hear in movies isn’t real? In this episode of Hear Us Out, we sit down with Foley mixer Aran Tanchum to explore the hidden world of sound design in film and television. From footsteps and clothing movement to the subtle sounds that make scenes feel real, Foley artists with the assistance of Foley mixer's (the recording engineer) create the everyday noises our brains rely on to believe what we’re seeing. We dive into how sound is built from scratch, why our brains accept artificial audio as reality, and what this reveals about how we process and interpret sound. Aran shares insights into the creative and technical side of Foley, breaking down how simple objects can be transformed into convincing sound effects—and why silence can be just as powerful as noise. This conversation also explores the science of hearing and perception, including how the brain prioritizes sound, how context shapes what we hear, and why certain audio cues feel more “real” than others. If you’re interested in sound design, Foley, film production, audio engineering, hearing, or the psychology of sound, this episode will change the way you experience movies—and the world around you.
