There is a
wonderful chemistry between husband and wife, Randy and
Pamela Copus, the duo who comprise 2002. Reviewers and fans
alike are amazed to learn that the peaceful, soothing,
ethereal, richly layered music that is their signature sound
and has given them resident status on Billboard’s New Age
Chart for more than six years is created by only two
musicians, but it is. True, they are two exceptionally
talented musicians, perfectionists in both their art and
their craft. Randy Copus plays piano, electric cello,
guitar, bass and keyboards. Pamela Copus plays flutes, harp,
keyboards and a wind instrument called a WX5, along with
exotic instruments she collects during her travels around
the world and learns to play. Both musicians also provide
all of the vocals on their albums, recording their voices
many, many times and layering them in their state of the art
studio in Texas to create a “virtual” choir with a
celestial, angelic quality. The vocals also have many
dimensions, as words and chants in Sanskrit, Spanish, Latin
and Japanese, representing sacred traditions throughout the
world, can be heard on their albums.
“Music is an
extension of all that is natural and so has the power to
restore the natural balance of joy and healing,” say Randy
and Pamela. Certainly the power of 2002’s music to restore
and heal and bring joy is something that has been confirmed
through many, many letters from fans who write to tell their
beautiful stories of how 2002’s music has been with them
during the most significant and profound experiences of
their lives. |
