Album Description
"No wonder every massage therapist and yoga instructor I know plays music from Soundings of the Planet. Dean Evenson's familiar, echoing flute has me so well trained that I go into a little trance as soon as I hear it!" -- Mara Applebaum, New Age Retailer

"Dean envelops us with a whole earth full of flutes, keyboards, and natural sounds that blend better than anyone could hope for." -- MusicDish.com

"Dean Evenson is my absolute favorite for massage! I have all of his CDs and have been using them for years." -- Ruthy Lucas, LMT

Warm, resonant tones of the wood flute merge with the gentle sounds of flowing water, weaving a relaxing tapestry of deep inner peace. Soothing flute melodies, soft drumbeats, and rattles invoke the spirit of nature to create a tranquil mood. For over twenty-five years, Dean Evenson has captured the magic and deep essence of the wood flute on many Soundings recordings. People have often asked for an all-wooden-flute album--so now, for the first time ever, he dedicates an entire album to the mystical quality of this beautiful instrument. Wood flutes are made from the earth elementals, sometimes hewn from tall cedars, or carved from reeds, bamboo, or--as in the case of one of Evenson's flutes--lightening-struck ash. The flute's subtle tones are blended with wisdom and the breath of life.

Customer Reviews

Very peaceful relaxation for the mind, body, and soul
This cd was given to me by a friend and it turned me on to Dean Evenson's wonderful flute playing. I put this on before I go to bed and it helps me relax deeper and I've noticed that I fall asleep more quickly.

I highly recommend this for listening to around the house, and after a long day at work. Just following the sound of the flute is very soothing. I grew tired of other styles of New Age, such as Enya, because it's not even close in terms of sound healing.

Native American flute at its finest!
Dean Evenson is usually heard playing his soaring silver flutes but in this CD he has focused entirely on the wooden flutes and especially Native flutes. If you like Carlos Nakai's flute work, you will love Dean's flutes on Wood Over Water. It really takes one to a deeply meditative space. The addition of subtle natural water sounds gently soothes the soul and blends beautifully with the flutes. A soft drumbeat and sound of rattles give one the feeling of being in a supportive place in nature. We all need this! Thanks again to Dean for bringing the spirit of nature to my listening sound space.

The healing flute played by Dean is incredibly soothing...Pure bliss !

Dean Evenson writes some of the most soothing, most healing music on the planet. I have several of his CDs and never tire listening to the tranquil melodies he creates.... Whether or not you meditate, do yoga, or just enjoy pure tranquil melodic melodies, you owe it to yourself to become a collector of this wonderful composer, musician !!

peace...
