about

"House of Stone" is a collection of songs written and composed over the course of four years. Each song is constructed using the voice, hand made instruments, dog ear flaps, old guitars, and found objects. The songs allude to the story of five siblings struggling to defend their heritage against the outside world in the wake of their father's untimely death. The songs serve as windows and peep holes into this universe as these five orphans struggle to sing their song. SORNE began writing this narrative in 2004 and the full scope of this universe has found its way into his visual art, performance and songwriting. Containing over forty songs and counting, the initial release of "House of Stone" will consist of thirteen songs, followed by five EPs containing alternate versions, the excluded tracks, artwork and more.
