Sounds of the Soul
Sounds of the Soul is a docuseries that puts those who handcraft musical instruments center stage. We’ll learn how those deeply personal creations are made to resonate specific sounds and why musicians seek out those hyper-specific qualities.
We’ll hear from the makers as they detail these beautiful instruments’ creation, but instead of focusing on how a particular piece is made, we will showcase the “why.” We’ll share stories of musicians who flock to these custom instruments and examine the social relevance associated with them.
