*** NEWS: Each CD has been personally autographed by Catherine. ***
Enter the world of Visions and Dreams... where elements of Ambient, Celtic, Electronica and World music combine to take you on an ethereal journey.
Over the next ten songs, you will be taken to different exotic places which may only exist in your imagination and dreams.
Your first glimpse of the land of Visions and Dreams begins with 'Essence of Dreams'. The mysterious sound of a shakuhachi flute calls to you, while a downtempo groove arises in the background. If you decide to enter, you'll discover more ethnic instruments including panflute, dulcimer, kalimba and taiko drums. These textures are combined with acoustic nylon guitar, strings, chimes, ambient female vocals, Gregorian choir and warm ambience.
