2002

2002 is a multi-generational family ensemble consisting of Randy, Pamela, and Sarah Copus, who have become pillars of the contemporary New Age and Ambient scenes since their formation in 1992. Their sound identity is defined by a high-production 'virtual choir' effect, achieved through meticulous vocal overdubbing that creates a lush, angelic texture.

Musically, they blend neoclassical piano and strings with folk-influenced harp and flute, often structured around conceptual themes from Greek, Hindu, and Irish mythology. Over a career spanning three decades and twelve Billboard-charting albums, they have evolved from a duo to a trio, incorporating their daughter Sarah's Celtic influences. Critically, they are regarded as masters of 'melodic ambient,' occupying a space between the commercial accessibility of Enya and the meditative depth of Deuter. Their work is a staple in therapeutic and relaxation contexts, noted for its consistent emotional resonance and technical polish, earning them a Lifetime Achievement Award from One World Music Radio in 2021.
