Album Description
Internationally acclaimed musician and composer Deuter has become known as a pioneer by creating music that is both meditative and inspiring. This album celebrates the essence of the sun with captivating melodies brought to life with spirited flute, synthesizer, and drum. Listen to Sun Spirit and be illuminated.

The 1970s were fruitful times for single-name instrumental artists. Expressing a Magellan-like inquisitiveness in their mostly electronic works, composers such as Vangelis, Kitaro, and Eloy attracted followings by leading torch-lit expeditions into fresh-sounding audio terrain while searching for more sublime emotional experiences. Deuter emerged during that period, though his subsequent involvement with Eastern philosophies reshaped his approach, leading him to construct works on a more internal, less cinematic scale. That style remains in place here in Deuter's first recording for the new millennium, and the result is a gentle charmer that may not dazzle you at first but will over time reveal simple pleasures and subtle satisfactions that make it worthwhile listening. Flutes and piano, plus occasional synths, strings and harp, are the dominant sounds at work here, and Deuter combines them in ways that capture a world as peaceful and sun-warmed as the golden detail from Van Gogh's Olive Trees used as the cover image for Sun Spirit. Overall, the music is probably too dainty for some tastes, but minor gems such as the softly pulsing "Sunlight Dancing" and the delightful title track (which recalls the David Lanz/Paul Speer hit "Behind the Waterfall") should appeal to anyone. Uplifting, yet not excessively cheerful. --Terry Wood

I bought this CD for a 21 yr. old who is definitely not into new age philosophy, but has trouble sleeping at night. The CD is used during the evenings to relax.
Very relaxing. August 18, 2008

I actually took this CD to my massage therapist so she could play it for me during our session.

Sun Spirit and Koyasan are my favourite Deuter's cd's.
Sun Spirit is delicate yet strong, fiery yet gentle, enthusiastic yet ecstatic, melodic yet ungraspable by the monkey mind. A truly delicious composition for all sorts of activities and non activities. Delicate dance of piano en flute with a very very slight south American scent?
Great music delivered in a timely fashion July 1, 2008

Deuter is a wonderful musician and all of his CD's are different enough that one doesn't tire of his music.

It's been my experience that you get exactly what you need when you need it. This CD is a great example of that...I am very familiar with Deuter's works, using them very often with client sessions; it's always restful and contemplative. But, in my life at the moment, I needed something joyful and hopeful to remind me of the truth of things and that's what this music provides. This is music to correct a gray frame of mind and when I listen to it, I am easily able to visualize the warmth of the bright sun on a cloudless sky. When you seem enveloped in the fog of worry, put this on...it will chase the clouds away even for a short while. For today, listen to something that brings joy...believe...the rest will follow.
