Internationally acclaimed musician/composer Deuter has become known as a pioneer, combining contemporary and traditional musical forms. He has created music that is at once meditative and inspiring. This long-awaited alum from Deuter celebrates the essence of the sun with captivating melodies brought to life with spirited flute, synthesizer and drum.

"Sun Spirit by Deuter feels like a musical dance. To compare the auditory experience to a visual one, listening to this CD is like walking into a garden with walls of multicolored flowers with the technicolor turned up to 11 on a scale of 1-10. But to do the analogy justice you would have to dance through the garden and feel the energy of the flowers in your whole body.

"Deuter is touted as a master of New Age/meditation music. He was a pioneer of electronic music and has an impressive discography of 43 releases dating back to 1790. A recent release that might be familiar is Reiki hands of light. His motto, 'As far as the ear can listen,' is a great introduction to Sun Spirit's nine tracks of instrumental music. The inspiration for this recording is the Sin, the essence of the highest consciousness, there at the center of the universe, it's heat and light permeating everything. Deuter says, 'This music is the celebration of the time when we know we are alive, when we feel and breathe the joy of being."

"Like many of Deuter's previous recordings, Sun Spirit has a lot of movement - he layers recorders, guitars, synthesizers, piano, violin and tabla (Indian kettle drums) , to name a few. With it's lack of slow, long, drawn-out notes and quiet space typical of this kind of music, I feared that it might not inspire relaxation. But the first client I played it for promptly fell asleep. So much for assumptions!"
