Learning to speak Farsi as well as collaborating with around 50 musicians on several original tracks has taken up much of the last three years for Christine White. She's called it The Raven Project - six songs in digital and vinyl format, accompanied by three music videos. The first was called "Raven" and the second, "Taken" and the final one, "Starless Skies", will be released later this week. Christine's main collaborator in the music has been legendary composer John Psathas. And along with the music videos, she's publishing a book of her haiku-style poetry in English and Farsi. Lynn Freeman first asks her about her childhood musical influences... Christine White's complete Raven Project will be available online from Thursday, while the vinyl versions and the poetry will come out in mid December.
