ECHOES AUGUST CD OF THE MONTH
LAYNE REDMOND: INVOKING THE MUSE
Layne Redmond is a virtuoso frame drummer with a mystical, mythological bent. On this CD she creates nine hymns to the muses, basing many of her modes and concepts on the writings of Hymn to the Muse, written by Mesomedes of Crete in the second century A.D. Joined by bansuri flute player Steve Gorn (Drala, Glen Velez), violinist Vicki Richards, fellow frame drummer Tommy Brunjes and women singers and choir, her nine hymns form a serene, but rhythmically driven soundscape. It's our August CD of the Month on Echoes.

Wednesday 08/04/04
DONNA DELORY: FROM MADONNA TO MANTRAS
Donna DeLory has been singing professionally since she was eight years old. She has several solo albums out, although she's best known as a back-up singer for Madonna and has been in the choruses of Madonna songs since the mid 1980s. On her own, DeLory tends towards more mystical fare on CDs like IN THE GLOW and BLISS (Secret Road Records). Her new CD, THE LOVER AND THE BELOVED (Ajna Music) takes her on a mantric journey, singing chants in sanskrit in elaborately produced arrangements that recall Rasa. In her Los Angeles home, in the midst of rehearsing for Madonna's summer tour, Donna DeLory talks about her mystic music.

Friday 08/06/04
JEFF BEAL & NAWANG KHECHOG: SCORING TIBETAN TRAGEDY
TIBET: CRY OF THE SNOW LION is the critically acclaimed documentary about the plight of Tibet, filmed over the course of ten years by director Tom Peosay. Scoring his horrific tale is film composer Jeff Beal and Tibetan exile, former monk and flutist, Nawang Khechog. Together they create a haunting score that borrows from the sounds of the Himalayas with Tibetan horns, flutes, chants and percussion, but arranged into an emotional underscore. Jeff Beal, Nawang Khechog and Tom Peosay talk about their Tibetan odyssey.
