LORI CARSON: SONGS THAT WHISPER Lori Carson has released several albums in what might be called
the conventional singer-songwriter mode, but on her new CD, THE
FINEST THING (Meta Records) she heads into ambient terrain with
songs that whisper and instrumentals that recall Brian Eno-style
ambiences. Carson travels down from her Long Island home to talk
about her introspective music, recorded right in her home.
Friday 08/13/04
SUZANNE TENG: TRAVELING MILES Suzanne Teng is a virtuoso flutist whose music has expanded
beyond the silver flute to embrace more than 50 styles of flutes
from across the world. She weaves these instruments into a sensuous
global landscape with her husband, percussionist Gilbert Levy,
and a host of fellow global travelers. Her album, MILES BEYOND
was the Echoes CD of the Month for January of this year. In their
Topanga Canyon home, Suzanne Teng and Gilbert Levy talk about
their musical journey and recording their album at home with their
son Miles sitting in a high chair in their studio.
