The History Of Sound (2026)

"The History Of Sound"* follows David White, a gifted musician with synesthesia, as he navigates love, loss, and the haunting beauty of folk music from the farms of Kentucky to the battlefields of WWI and the wilderness of Maine. After leaving his rural home for the New England Conservatory, David’s extraordinary ability to "see" music leads him to collect forgotten ballads like *Silver Dagger* and *Pretty Saro*, bonding with fellow soldier Lionel Worthing over shared songs before the war scatters their lives, and later reuniting for a winter recording expedition into the American folk tradition.
