"We are the Music Makers
and We are the Dreamers of Dreams
Wandering by Lone Sea-Breakers
World Losers and World Foresakers
On Whom the Pale Moon Gleams;
Yet... We are the Movers and Shakers
Of the World Forever, it Seems!"

-Arthur O'Shaughnessy (1844-1881)

Cauldron is a studio collaboration of the recording artists: Artemis, Lazarus, and Syren.

In the summer of 2000, the women of Syren and Artemis met for an evening of music and experimentation. With the beginnings of a traditional, celtic lullaby, these women took their varied influences and brewed up something of a meltingpot of genres. The spirit of Cauldron is the liberated enjoyment of music and freedom in collaboration! It is a celebration of the goddesses within, and of each other.

From the summer solstice to the dwindling autumn leaves, the artists met each week to record a piece of music that was selected, arranged without rehearsal, and captured in one take.  The result of this recording is an epic fusion of genres and influence in the celtic/medieval vein woven neatly in a
combination of traditional celtic songs and original compostions.

The production of this CD is to conceive and capture spirited material, relying on the amazing talents and inspirations we muses possess. The result is an epic fusion of genres and influence in the celtic/medieval vein.
