HER SOUND is a new song cycle that re-imagines ancient stories of women for a more contemporary context of what their stories actually would have been. It is a piece about injustice, sex, misogyny, feminism and the empowerment of women. Imagine if the famous woman truly loved the man whose strength she cut off; Imagine if a wife was not ready to be tied down on an ark without her say; Imagine if a prostitute had her choice to run away from the walls of the city that surrounds her.
