About the Artist
Renowned naturalist and sound designer Dr. Bernie Krause has traveled the world capturing the soundscapes of exotic natural environments. Dr. Krause began his groundbreaking work in bioacoustics and environmental recording in the late 1960's, and much of his work has been accomplished with techniques and technologies that he personally developed. His "In A Wild Sanctuary" (1970) recording earned a place in history as being the first recording to use environmental sounds as both a central component of orchestration and as a statement about the environment.

Dr. Krause's diverse achievements include 10 recordings for The Nature Company that have enjoyed over $24 million in gross sales over a period of 6 years. Development of the audio technology innovation known as the Intelligent Show System (for public exhibitions and installations), and his Music and Word Series of spoken word documents that include "Ishi - The Last Yahi." Dr. Krause recently published the book "Wild Soundscapes" (2002) that includes a full-length CD featuring a sampling of natural sounds.

Product Description
R. Murray Schafer, author of "Tuning of the World," wrote "The sea has always been…symbolic of eternity, change, cleansing, purification, refreshment, and renewal. [Paradoxically], it defies the laws of gravity: flowing down-ward and evaporating upward." The ocean shore is also the most elusive sound to capture in a recording. Symbolic of all life, it contains every aspect of known sound: rhythm, melody, loudness, softness, texture, detail, lowest and highest frequencies, form and chaos. Each coastal environment sounds different - each speaking with its own special voice. This recording was made during the winter at a remote beach along the Big Sur coast of California.

OCEAN DREAMS was recorded along the Big Sur coast of California. This powerful recording captures perspectives of ocean waves never before heard, with near- and far-field aural viewpoints present at the same time. You will what you would expect to find when standing at the seashore.

They reached their namesake year, but unlike Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey or George Orwell's 1984, the group 2002 never offered great expectations. Across an Ocean of Dreams sounds pretty much like their last several albums, which means lots of women's choirs oohing and aahing in celestial bliss, Enya-esque pizzicato strings, and meandering melodies. 2002 aspires to a quiet classical grandeur, but at a sluggish pace that makes Yanni sound as if he's on an adrenaline high. Wrapping you in faux-velvet gauze, they muffle the very air coming from your speakers. Late in the album, "Lady of the Moon" almost cuts through with a plaintive mix of acoustic and electric guitars, a bit of Renaissance recorder, and a breathy woman's chorus. But by then, you've been smothered to death. --John Diliberto

Album Description

What does the ocean dream? Glimpse into the depths of jeweled waters and the fantasia within. Surrender to the siren call. Come! Be transported under the waves, flowing with 2002's delicate strings, guitar, flute, keyboard and distant voices of angels of the deep. 2002 - Favorites on Billboard's New Age Chart for the past five years!

5 out of 5 stars Across an Ocean of Dreams.......2007-05-08

This is a collection of some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. It is wonderfully transporting. I have been recommending this CD to everyone since I first heard it.

5 out of 5 stars Good music to sleep by........2007-01-09

I found this CD very unique in many respects. Its composition and choice of musical instruments lends its self in a class of its own! Very relaxing indeed.

5 out of 5 stars sothing.......2006-05-15

this cd is so relaxing that it put me to sleep the first time i heard it. The music is relaxing that it takes your mind off of stuff. And it's good music to listen to if you read and listen to classical music like i do. Trust me it works. the best song on this cd is. The Ocean Dreams.


If you liked this cd then check out 2002's other cds

5 out of 5 stars For All New Age Fans.......2005-08-02

If you like New Age music, you have to pick up some 2002. Across an Ocean of Dreams is a great place to start. Also great are some of their other titles which I own in addition to Across an Ocean of Dreams called River of Stars, Chrysalis, This Moment Now, and Land of Forever. Get some or all of the albums I mentioned. Trust me, they are worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Great Massage Therapy Music.......2004-06-10

I am a massage therapist and discard many cds before I choose one to use for my clients. This is one I have added to my personal and professional collections. This is definetly a keeper!

Although I love Enya, I will not use it in the therapy room. Voices, drum beats and fast sections of music do not allow total relaxation. The mind follows popular/familiar musical remakes...so all those are also eliminated.

5 out of 5 stars Calming . . ........2005-11-28

Ocean Dreams is the most calming and relaxing cd I have ever owned! It makes you feel as if you're sitting on the beach, just gazing up at the beautiful night sky. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, then I suggest buying this cd. You won't regret it!

5 out of 5 stars Pure tranquility...deepening our connection to the earth..........2005-08-31

This CD was given to me as a gift from a dear friend, and what an amazing gift it was! Evenson's music invites the listener into a deep state of connectedness...at first a gentle beckoning that soons envelopes one in total peace. The meditative (and often joyful) sound of Evenson's flute and the energizing flow of water are punctuated by the enchanting communications of dolphins and whales, inviting us to remember our deepest connection to all of life.

As a Reiki practitioner, I find this CD invaluable to my healing music collection. Evenson's work is unique and inspired and definitely sets a standard in the New Age genre. Even those who don't typically like New Age music should give this a listen. There is much to discover in Evenson's work. His intention to create "Peace Through Music" is evident in every track. Let the joy envelope your heart!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful relaxation with beautiful music and sounds.......2005-04-20

This was my first Dean Evenson CD and has started a snowballing collection - I love this guy! This CD is *VERY* relaxing and will calm you down right away. I have PTSD and used it during my worst times - it brought me back down to earth and got me relaxed. One note - do not use while driving. It's a little TOO relaxing for that. The ocean and ocean animal sounds are perfect and work wonderfully with the music. Well worth it!!

5 out of 5 stars Just RELAX!.......2004-03-10

Used it during my pregnancy and labor, then to sooth our baby to sleep. Our "baby" (now 9) loves this disc and other Dean Evenson material. We play it every night or as we head to nap time and he happily drops off to sleep. I've bought copies for his pre-school and daycare. It relaxes the kids and was guaranteed to get a room full of toddlers snoring in no time.

This is my favorite baby gift and I've also bought copies for friends and massage therapists. This CD is very special: pure relaxation.

5 out of 5 stars baby whisperer.......2003-10-05

I used this CD to relax during birth and to relax my baby in the first few months and it was a treasure.

4 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, But Still Enjoyable.......2007-07-12

I originally ordered this, along with "Windscapes," thinking it would be a new age music CD. As it turns out, while it does have some music it's 50% sound effects and ethereal keyboard sounds. It is an "ambience" CD, not a music CD, and I wish they'd make that clearer in the product description. However, having said that I enjoy it as an ambience CD. It's great to listen to while napping or writing.

            1. Ocean Dreams

            Album Description

            Why are we so drawn to the ocean? Perhaps because our bodies so nearly reflect this soup that is so integral a part of our ancient beginnings--the saline liquid of ourlife's blood, the rhythm of our heart and breath--nearly every cell has a connection to some ocean-borne organism or feature. It provides a bountiful texture for our lives--food for our bodies, rhythm for our souls, the dynamic of tempest and calm reflecting our moods, water that nourishes the land we live on, and a place to find solace from the noise of the transformed territories, most of us call home. Sound is one of the unique ways we can take a hallowed journey from the shore, below the surface and back again, experiencing a feeling of continuous transformation from land to water and visualizing the images without ever opening our eyes. Before I became a naturalist and bio-acoustician, I had no idea that fishes sang or shrimp snapped their tiny claws. I wasn't even sure that they heard anything. Ah, but we know so little. Here's some of what we have found...
