About Unfinished Houses

Unfinished Houses is Esther's debut studio production as a singer-songwriter, featuring her unusual mountain dulcimer stylings, as well as her flute on several tracks. It is beautifully produced, with varied instrumentation and arrangements meant to uniquely enhance the lyrics. Unfinished Houses includes 10 originals and 3 covers by songwriters of our day, Danny Schmidt, Antje Duvekot, and Britain's 3 Blind Mice.

About Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis: Conversations with Alaska's Northern Lights is an instrumental project showcasing Esther's flute compositions and solo improvisations, with accompaniment provided by her own mountain dulcimer.  Esther musically paints vivid, intelligent images of the Northern Lights glowing and shimmering in the night sky, with soothing tone-colors suited to meditation, yoga, massage, or lovely, relaxing background music.

"I was listening to some samples and my daughter Clarissa came softly out of her bedroom saying "what is this magic music? " Figure, she's fifteen and normally she listens to something really different from Esther's music. So, this is it. Great. ;-)"
