Points of Note:
Janet Dunbar does all her own recording and special effects. She creates
much of her music by programming ideas in software. However, her music,
singing and guitar playing hold a warmth which rises above the highly
technical nature of her creative processes. She sets poetry to music and
also makes musical backgrounds to compliment spoken poetry.
