Epiphany Project - Epiphany Project (2001)

As Epiphany Project, composer, John Hodian and songwriter, Bet Williams continue to turn the art song upside down in their dynamic performances. Their compositions are a unique hybrid of modern classical art song, world music, Americana and folk. Epiphany Project combines voice, piano, exotic hand percussion and electric cello for a totally entrancing and otherworldly sound which The Washington Post called a kinetic and contemporary blend of poetic word play and contagious rhythms. The New York-based ensemble has been praised for its evocative dreamlike tone poems full of soulful melodies and poignant lyrics.

With Williams striking four-octave range and compelling visual style and Hodians deeply expressive improvisational piano, their performances are highly charged, theatrical events. In concert, the music moves from delicate and intimate whispers to thundering, ecstatic climaxes.
