Deuter, one of the first artists on the Kuckuck Schallplatten label,has thirteen titles on Kuckuck Schallplatten, as well as the musicalscore of a picture poem released on the MonteVideo label entitled ThePetrified Forest. They offer his unique uplifting melodies played onflute, guitar and synthesizer, blended with the sounds of nature. Hiscreations incorporate a lightness of spirit, depth of vision, and amusical medley of East and West.
Deuter himself is a product of both East and West. He was born in 1945,in a small village of post-war Germany. As a child, he learned fluteand taught himself guitar and harmonica. As a young adult, he worked asa graphic designer and newspaper columnist in Munich, but the musicaldrive within him persisted. Eckart Rahn, a young record producer atthat time, recognized Deuter 39;s talents, and in 1971 released hisfirst recording, D, on the then ***ling Kuckuck label.
Deuter began to go into the mountains to record birds, water and windto accompany his music. He was one of the first artists to do so andhis deep relationship with nature persists to this day. He also beganhis spiritual search, spending much of his time at an ashram in Poona,India. Deuter was also one of the first artists to blend that Easterninfluence into his music. He did that blending in such a gentle fashionthat it never jarred Western ears, unaccustomed to Eastern rhythms andtonalities.
Aum and Celebration were his first recordings to spring from this newdirection in his life. His 1978 release, Haleakala, was recorded inPoona. This release was a true portrait of Deuter 39;s spiritual questas well as production talents. Using a four-track tape machine and aprogression of sub-mixes down to two tracks, Deuter was able to blendhis own performances of two flutes, two guitars, organ synthesizer, andbells percussion along with natural sounds. This sixteen-trackrequirement he accomplished in the middle of India on just four trackswith an amazing technical fidelity.
Future releases only perfected the recording quality of Deuter 39;smagical music. In his own words, that music takes us to the beautifulplace inside where the listener can experience warmth, the playfulness,the love, the compassion, the gentleness. That is the music I want tomake for others. And that is just what he has done.
Cicada and Nirvana Road showcase Deuter 39;s remarkable ability toproduce music that is more and more danceful, lighter, happier and moreplayful, full of heart and still have in it somewhere a vision ofsilence. Call of the Unknown: Selected Pieces 1972-1986, contains acompilation of the most sublime pieces of Deuter 39;s repertoire. Landof Enchantment is Deuter 39;s biggest selling album
