A winning addition to the Sound Healing Series from Soundings of the Planet artists, Healing Dreams offers a serene showcase for two of the label's prime talents, guitarist Scott Huckabay and flautist/label co-founder Dean Evenson. The pair, accompanied at various times by cello, viola, harp, and singing bowls (played by Walter Makichen) plus occasional wordless vocals by Gina Sala, co-create inviting sound fields that gently straddle the sonic sweet spot between structure and improvisation, resulting in a peaceful wash of sound that encourages both relaxation and an elevated state of mind. You'll find in Evenson and Huckabay's work a degree of sophistication and musicality (notably apparent in Huckabay's occasional pop-rock fingerings) that separates their work from lesser musicians who merely equate simplicity with blissfulness. Highlights include the heavenly hum Evenson (on keyboards) applies to Huckabay's passages on "Dreamstate" and the delicate intricacy of Evenson's flute on "Flowers to Life." If you're a newcomer to the label, don't let the hippie-era cover art, with its butterflies-and-stardust dreaminess, sway you into thinking this disc is only for the incense and macramé crowd. It's a fine, broadly appealing choice for massage, relaxation, or late-night zoning out. --Terry Wood

This review is from: Healing Dreams (Audio CD)

This CD brings together the New Age pioneer, flutist Dean Evenson, with the otherworldly, cosmic guitarist Scott Huckabay, who have collaborated on other releases in the "Healing Sounds Series" for Soundings of the Planet. On this CD they are joined by Gina Sala (also of Sonic Tribe), who provides wonderful, meditative vocals to complement the music of the guitar and flute. In addition, the CD includes Dudley Evenson on harp, Jonathan Kramer on cello, Phil Heaven on viola, and singing bowl master, Walter Makichen. That combination of instruments should begin to give you a feel for the type of music to expect from this CD. The theme for the music is dreams as a doorway to the subconscous, as manifestations of our own mysterious imaginations. All the music in this healing series includes the "Earth Resonance Frequency" , a sub-auditory frequency at 7.8 Hz. This frequency has been shown to promote an alpha state in the human brain conducive to relaxation. Healing Dreams starts with this alpha frequency followed by lower "theta" frequencies. Don't worry, you won't hear them, just feel them. What you will hear is the really excellent ensemble music from a talented bunch of musicians who have your best interests at heart....good stuff.
