AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID DARLING
A cellist's contemplative politics
There aren't too many instrumental albums that will cite political journalist Amy Goodman in the acknowledgments. David Darling has created a post-Bush meditation of chamber cello orchestrations called Prayer for Compassion. We go to the lair of the lord of largo who takes us into the deep and layered world of his music.

AN INTERVIEW WITH KAYA PROJECT
Global electronica fantasies
Seb Taylor is a musician of many guises, recording under the names Hibernation, Shakta, and Digitalis. But his most fertile persona has been as Kaya Project with his partner, Natasha Chamberlain. Their 3rd full-length album, And So It Goes, expands on the merger of electronica with world music exotica, from Africa to India.
