For the last few years, Levin has been releasing instrumental albums and touring relentlessly. He has a new 2-CD set called DOUBLE ESPRESSO (Narada) that posits the idea of bass as a lead instrument.

SCOTT COSSU: REWIRING PIANOS AND SYNAPSES
Scott Cossu was at the peak of his career in 1989. His album SWITCHBACK was climbing the charts and he was touring across the country as one of Windham Hill Records premiere artists. But then he was struck by a car and everything changed. Cossu plunged into a coma, underwent brain surgery and had to rebuild his life, career and music from the ground up. Cossu recently put out only his third CD since his accident, EMERALD PATHWAY (Alula). We revisit our 1995 feature with Scott where he talks about what it's like to not even recognize your own music.

MICHAEL HEWETT'S YOGA GROOVES
Michael Hewett spends his days teaching yoga in Manhattan. He's combined his yogic philosophy with music, playing finger style acoustic guitar through digital delays and effects and wrapping them in modern chamber arrangements with cello, bass and percussion. Michael Hewett talks about putting some edge into yoga music on his CD, BEING IN DREAMING (Dharma Moon).

ED BILOUS: WAY WEST OF MANHATTAN
Ed Bilous is a journeyman composer working in commercials, soundtracks and TV scores. This past year, he composed an atmospheric score for PBS's reality series, FRONTIER HOUSE." Bilous didn't just key in on the rustic sounds of 19th century America in the west, but instead used minimalist techniques, world music elements and the warm guitar sound of Kristofer Ricat to sculpt the emotions and landscapes of the series. In his studio, we talk with Ed Bilous about heading west from Manhattan.
