Rena Jones: The Diva of Ambient Cello

By John Diliberto on Wednesday, October 28, 2009.

There are plenty of electronic cellists who loop their own music, but Rena Jones is one of the few who also orchestrates her own electronica arrangements. She creates intricate patterns of rhythms, glitches and ambient moods.

Her complex, repetitive music provides the pulsing beat for iPhone apps and video games like "Dance, Dance Revolution." Producer John Diliberto gets tangled up with Rena Jones as she talks about her latest album, Indra's Web, for the Echo Location series. You can hear the segment at Public Radio Exchange.
