Monet's Garden is the new album by Dudley and Dean Evenson
Dudley and Dean Evenson take a gentle and mindful stroll through Monet's Garden
Soundings of the Planet, the decades-old “New Age” record label that boasts well over one billion song streams across all digital platforms, is releasing its newest LP, Monet’s Garden, which the label’s founders, Dean and Dudley Evenson, created after a lifelong love affair with the work of the famed French impressionist painter, Claude Monet. The lush, calm 12-song album is available in both physical and digital formats on all major platforms, including Amazon and Soundings.com.
"That Monet could walk out his door and paint the nature around him is so similar to how Dean works his craft,” Dudley says. “Monet loved living out in the country just like we love living at the end of a long road, surrounded by gardens, next to a wild river.”
To create Monet’s Garden, the two traveled to France to study the impressionist master’s work in every museum in which it hangs in Paris, including the Musée d’Orsay,
Musée de l’Orangerie, Musée Marmottan-Monet, and the Louvre, while also immersing themselves in his spirit in his lush, colorful and fragrant gardens in Giverny.
“The message of Mother Earth and taking care of the planet was so important in everything we’ve done,” Dean says. “It’s the foundation for our work, the rock we live on.”
“We’re very proud of this new album,” Dudley says. “Over the years, our music of flute and harp has
benefited people through massage, yoga and meditation. Now, Monet’s Garden
can continue that by
showing that our relationship to Mother Nature herself is so important.”

Discover Rudy Adrian’s Newest Album: Beyond the Sleepy Hills Rudy Adrian, the New Zealand-based ambient electronic maestro, is back with Beyond the Sleepy Hills, a mesmerizing collection of atmospheric soundscapes designed to soothe your senses. Whether you’re looking to drift into sleep or explore the rich details of each composition, this album delivers an immersive experience worth savoring. Now available on Spotted Peccary Music in both CD and digital formats, Beyond the Sleepy Hills is a sonic journey through gentle drones, soft piano melodies, and atonal bells that seamlessly blend into a calming whole. Rudy’s signature meticulous layering shines as the album unfolds in nine beautifully crafted movements. Here’s what Rudy had to say about his creative process: "I incorporated familiar elements from my previous albums—like subtle drones, soft bells, and piano in minor keys—but this time, I made them even more unobtrusive to create a truly restful experience. The goal was to allow listeners to fall asleep without being distracted by dissonance or overly dramatic music." As always, Rudy’s inspiration comes from the natural world, making Beyond the Sleepy Hills a masterclass in ambient storytelling. You’ll hear sun-dappled branches, distant bird calls, the soft hum of wind, and the rhythmic flow of water—all painted with sound. Tracks to note: Track 3: Delicate chimes and shimmering textures evoke a serene forest glade. Track 4: A moonlit nightscape of low drones, bright bells, and the burble of a winding stream. Track 8: Subtle symphonies of swelling strings ebb and flow like ocean tides. Rudy describes his style as creating “film soundtracks without pictures,” and his growing catalog proves his mastery. Beyond the Sleepy Hills joins an impressive lineup of Spotted Peccary releases, including Reflections On A Moonlit Lake (2024), A Walk in the Shadow Garden (2023), and As Dusk Becomes Night (2021). 💡 Fun Fact: Rudy took extra care with this album to ensure the tones were restful but not overly sweet, striking a perfect balance between engaging and ignorable—depending on your mood.  🎥 Check out the teaser video produced by Joe Abreu at Spotted Peccary Studios SW. ✨ Beyond the Sleepy Hills is also streaming all day on Spotted Peccary’s 24/7 channel, SPMLive.
