Back to the Garden (Music CD)
In 1984, Tom Barabas and Dean Evenson met and played music for the first time at a consciousness-raising workshop in Tucson, Arizona. They recognized that they had a similar style of relating to music, composing and co-creating in the moment. They shared a spiritual connection to music which they felt flowed through them from a transcendental source.
With Tom playing grand piano, and Dean on silver flute, a musical partnership evolved which has resulted in many concerts and popular recordings, (Soaring, WindDancer, Instruments of Peace). Their long musical friendship continues on Back To The Garden, expressing their musical souls together.
Richard Hardy, former horn man for Carole King and Eliza Gilkyson, joins them on this album, gracing many songs with his seductive saxophone melodies and haunting clarinet and alto flute.

Forest Rain (Music CD)
The natural sounds of Forest Rain trace a journey following the rivers and streams up the mountain to the very heart of the old growth forest. Lush music reflects the depth and multi-layered richness of the ancient grove. Towering, moss draped cedars are home to a multitude of species. Trees of many ages live in a communion of natural systems, creating a context for the intricate web of life to play out its magic dance.
The music flows to a place on the river where the salmon have come all the way from the sea to spawn in the very place they were born.
Here, eagles come by the hundreds to feed as the salmon lay down their lives for the next generation, thus completing their life cycle.
Dean Evenson's love for nature is embodied in his musical work which blends natural sounds with his free-form compositions. His vision is "to create peaceful, joyous environments for people on this planet to live in ...bringing nature, music, and humanity together in harmony."

Sound Healing (Music CD)
Best-selling author and physician, Dr. Andrew Weil, says "I am convinced that stress is the primary cause or aggravating cause of the majority of illness." The American Institute for Preventative Medicine concurs, citing stress as a role-player in both heart disease and cancer - two of America's major killers. Tension in the mind translates itself into tension in the body, and can cause a state of dis-ease.
Conversely, a relaxed body and sense of inner calm are beneficial to restoring health and maintaining balance in the face of disease. Often, the mind needs an extra tool to assist it in finding that balance. The healing power of music is now widely recognized by medical professionals who are discovering that music can help clear and quiet the mental processes, allowing the body to become relaxed. Lower stress levels also help strengthen the immune system.
In his landmark book, The Mozart Effect, Don Campbell states that "by listening to music with longer, slower sounds, one can usually depend and slow the breath, allowing the mind to calm down...As with breathing rates, a lower heartbeat creates less physical tension and stress, calms the mind, and helps the body heal itself. Music is a natural peacemaker."
Sound affects the vibratory rate of every cell and molecule in the body and has a direct impact on the muscles, nervous system, digestive system and circulatory system. It is no wonder that both mainstream and alternative health care practitioners are using music like Sound Healing either alone or in combination with traditional medical practices as a support in the healing process.

Tao of Healing (Music CD)
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.
