Creative Outlets

Some people still find their music at the record store, but others are finding some unusual alternatives. Starbucks is getting into the music business in a big way, selling and promoting CD's and even making it possible for customers to create their own compilations. We look at how the coffee retailer’s move may affect the recording industry, as we take your calls on this topic. We also explore the virtual reality project known as Cathedral. Conceived as the Web’s first piece of multimedia art, it features the music of post-minimalist composer William Duckworth. On Wednesday, there will be a live component to the project at the World Financial Center, in which audiences can plug in their laptops and take part in a live Webcast. Duckworth joins us today with a preview.
