MIXES MUSIC WITH HEALING

LOS ANGELES (VG) The solo artist Caroline Waters has joined forces with the American cellist Carter Dewberry. The name is Red Velvet.

Together, the two redheaded women are creating new pathways in the world of music.

With the CD, they are going to make the world a more sensual place, and they have also developed a brand new concept that combines music and healing. Wednesday next week, Red Velvet is performing at the opening concert for Tilted Days in front of City Hall in Oslo with songs from the brand new CD, where they have written and composed everything except Paul Simon’s “Something So Right.”

“Red Velvet can be described as a journey in the world of love, tenderness and sensuality, with playful arrangements between piano, cello and voice,” says Caroline, who is formerly known as Asplin and has been famous in Norway since childhood in Putti Plutti Pott with her father Per Asplin. She has traveled between Oslo and Los Angeles for the last ten years as a solo artist and looks forward to performing in her homeland with Carter.

“I had dreamed of finding a cellist to work with for many, many years, ever since my collaboration with Aage Kvalbein during the release of Compassion,” says Caroline, who also graduated as Craniosacral therapist three years ago.

Love Yourself
“Healing has always interested me, and I wanted to combine it with music. Carter came to me for a healing session and was fascinated by how I combined being a healer with being an artist, because her dream was to channel healing through the cello,” says Caroline.

“Of all the instrument, the cello is the one that closest resembles the human voice,” says Carter, who always has had ‘warm’ hands.

She quickly learned the energy healing modality called Reiki, and now the two women work together as musical healers.

“So many people get up in the morning and criticize themselves. We want them to love themselves, because we are amazing beings, each and every one of us,” says Carter.

She has also played cello in movies such as X-Men 2 and Gothika. Plus the new TV-series, The Tudors, where Jonathan Rhys-Myers plays King Henry.

The concert in front of City Hall is arranged in collaboration with Plan Norway and proceeds go to the organization’s human rights efforts in Sudan.
