Tao of Healing is a lofty bridging of cultures through musical dialogue - the flute, 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 of 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 albums in 1979, Evenson has not included natural sounds withing the musical mixes, letting the music itself communicate the peacefulness of nature.
