Tao
of Healing is a lofty bridging of cultures through musical dialogue - the
flute, the guqin, and the guitar. It is a simple calling of worlds across the
digital airwaves. When Dean Evenson of Soundings of the Planet and Professor Li
Xiangting of Beijing, China, first met, they recognized each other as kindred
musical spirits from opposite sides of the globe, yet communicating perfectly
through the universal language music. The silver tones of Evenson's flute mirror
the haunting and exotic sounds of Professor Li's ancient seven stringed zither.
For the first time since he began recording albuims in 1979, Evenson has not included
natural sounds with the musical mixes, letting the music itself communicate the
peacefulness of nature.
Tao
of Healing is the third in the Sound Healing Series that Evenson has put together.
Featured prominently in all of the series in Scott Huckabay whose sensitive guitar
fingerings dance across his six strings with a harmonic touch, enhancing the subtle
rhythms of the other instruments.
This
music is ideal for use in conjunction with the many and varied Chinese and Eastern
Healing Arts such as Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Reiki, Yoga, Meditation,
and Massage.
