Deuter's Biography

Deuter, one of the first artists on the Kuckuck label, has thirteen titles on Kuckuck, as well as the musical score of a picturepoem released on the MonteVideo label. They offer his unique uplifting melodies played on flute, guitar and synthesizer, blended with the sounds of nature. His creations incorporate a lightness of spirit, depth of vision, and a musical 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 flute and taught himself guitar and harmonica. As a young adult, he worked as a graphic designer and newspaper columnist in Munich, but the musical drive within him persisted. Eckart Rahn, a young record producer at that time, recognized Deuter’s talents, and in 1971 released Deuter’s first recording, D (11017), on the then fledgling Kuckuck label.

Deuter began to go into the mountains to record birds, water and wind to accompany his music. He was one of the first artists to do so and his deep relationship with nature persists to this day. He also began his spiritual search, spending much of his time at an ashram in Poona, India. Deuter was also one of the first artists to blend that Eastern influence into his music. He did that blending in such a gentle fashion that it never jarred Western ears, unaccustomed to Eastern rhythms and tonalities.

I think I will need to write myself a lil note to remember to come specifically to this thread from home. As my wonderful internet restrictions here at work will not allow me to go do such links.

And wouldnt you know, the only time I remember about this thread is when I am at work!

Sounds of nature are always great, especially when accompanied with subtle music. Cant wait to hear them!!
