Her Sound is a new song cycle that reimagines the ancient stories of women in a contemporary setting-- a journey of two woman proclaiming their love for each other, a prophet who will deliver her land to freedom, a wife who refuses to be confined to her husband's ark-- and many more stories.
"Ethan Carlson is one of the most gifted up-and-coming composer-lyricists I know.
