AN INTERVIEW WITH LOREENA MCKENNITT: A JOURNEY CONTINUED
Loreena McKennitt picks up where she left off a decade ago
It's been nearly 10 years since Loreena McKennitt released her last CD. Her new CD, An Ancient Muse takes the bookmark out of The Book of Secrets and picks up the story where she left off on her mystical journey through Middle Eastern and northern Saharan cultures. We travel along with McKennitt, who tells her tale of an earlier day.

AN INTERVIEW WITH RENA JONES: A WIRED CELLIST
Cellist plugs in and programs
There are a lot of looping electro-cello players out there these days. But Rena Jones is one of the few doing integrated laptop programming at the same time while also playing violin. Until recently, Rena Jones was a denizen of San Francisco's electronica scene. On her album, Driftwood, she combines them all into the elegant and textured electronica chamber music where Arvo Pärt-like lines of liquid inevitability flow while rhythms pulse, shudder and ping through the melodies. We talk with Rena Jones about electric strings.
