Description:
The recent surge of interest in world music has brought to light the important contributions of German multi–instrumentalist, Deuter. In the 1970s, this innovative artist helped to set the tone for a warm, highly accessible approach to music from other cultures. Few albums illustrate this more profoundly than Deuter's 1979 release, Ecstasy. Ecstasy is one of several pivotal albums that Deuter recorded as a result of his studies in India during the mid 1970s. There he took up residence in an ashram, probing deeply into Indian music and completed many compositions that he had begun in Germany. In mixing Eastern and Western textures with engaging, uplifting melodies, Deuter found an appropriate balance for his spiritual ideals. With soaring flutes, rich synthesizer textures, resonant guitars, spiraling sequencer patterns and delicate percussion, he created a sense of exhilaration and joy matched by few artists. The music on Ecstasy truly lives up to its name.
Biography:
Deuter is the seminal New Age musician, active for over 30 years! Also a Reiki practitioner, Deuter lives and works in the mountains of Santa Fe, NM, creating the contemplative, healing music he has become renowned for. Through feeling, awareness and experience, and constantly inspired by the natural world around him, he creates music that transports the listener to a space of peacefulness and wellbeing. He continues to earn and master an ever-expanding array of instruments including the drums, shakuhachi, cello, koto, sitar, Tibetan singing bowls, santoor, buzuki, and keyboards.
Deuter was one of the first artists on the Celestial Harmonies Kuckuck label with thirteen titles, as well as the musical score of a picture poem released on the MonteVideo label. These recordings offer his unique uplifting melodies played on flute, guitar and synthesizer, blended with the sounds of nature. His creations incorporate a lightness of spirit, a depth of vision and a musical medley of East and West.
Deuter himself is a product of both East and West, born in 1945, in a small village of post-war Germany. As a child, he learned flute and taught himself guitar and harmonica. Together, these Kuckuck releases represent the first twenty-one years of Deuter's exceptional music, a spectrum of radiant outpourings and quiet meditations.
