Sound Series

"One morning as I listened to the bells, I saw a burial procession pass by, and I knew that they were tolling for the dead one, who could no longer hear them." 

–Hans Burkhardt recalling when he started his Sound Series

The LA Times critic Henry Seldis wrote about Burkhardt's Sound Series, "Hans Burkhardt continues to extend and refine his extraordinary talent into a compelling mastery...with profound understanding, deep compassion and great plastic variety, Burkhardt captures a solemn beauty and joyous sense of release."
