Koyasan: Reiki Sound Healing April 24, 2008
Adam (England)
I was a little worried about buying this album, fearing it might be a repeat of a lot of that "New Age", cheesy synthesizer music that I hate sooooo much! But I needn't have worried, this album is sublime. I use it both for background music and whilst doing the Mindfulness of Breathing buddhist meditation. The Chinese Erhu is plaintive, almost sad and extraordinarily beautiful and appears on 3 of the 8 tracks. The rest of the album has a less "Oriental" feel, but is nevertheless very, very beautiful. I have taken a liking to Deuter now and am looking forward to listening to more of his music. There is not one track I dislike on the album. And even the synthesizer which I dread so much is used beautifully, like ambient layers of bliss. The music is simply lovely and I would strongly recommend this album.
Languid mediative excursions May 11, 2007

With over 60 albums in a nearly 40-year career, you might be forgiven for thinking the artist's best work has already been written and recorded. And in many cases you'd be right. But not so with Deuter. At least not so with this new release, Koyasan.
The German multi-instrumentalist was born on the cusp of a new world, in a small German town in 1945. As a young man, Georg Deuter worked for a brief time as a journalist before a near-fatal car accident lead him on a quest of the spiritual and a life devoted to music, a quest that took him to study for many years in India before setting up home and a recording studio in the US southwest.
Deuter is entirely self-taught, an admirable accomplishment when you consider the range of instruments he has mastered. He's most closely identified with the flute, but also plays keyboards, the tamboura (an Indian stringed instrument), cello, koto, and several others. Many of these are used to great effect on his new release, Koyasan, named after a sacred Buddhist mountain in central Japan, home to the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Except for the title and the presence of instruments associated with Japan, such as the shakuhachi (a bamboo flute) and the koto (a stringed instrument), and more widely with Asia (in this case, the 2-stringed Chinese violin, the erhu), the music on this album is not terribly suggestive of Koyasan. The song titles are generic enough to fit nearly any new age theme you'd care to choose.
But the music . . . the music is sublime. The album features eight tracks, all but two 8 to 9 minute meditative excursions. There is no percussion, nor any noticeable rhythm, just languid journeys built on light and airy ambient washes, puffs of aural clouds through and around which circle the voices of the acoustic instruments. Unlike so many new age productions which work well in the background but can't withstand concentrated listening, Deuter's work, especially on this recording, will reward those who sit and listen attentively.
IMHO Deuters best work to date February 18, 2007

This is in my opinion Deuters best work to date. The variety of peaceful soundscapes are calming, relaxing, sometimes sad (the sound of the Chinese Erhu on Kindred Spirit is simply stunning) yet uplifting. Deuter puts his entire palette of musical abilities on display on here, incorporating instruments, such as the Chinese erhu, Japanese shakuhachi flute, Indian tamboura and Tibetan bowls, as well as his trademark haunting ambient synth layers.
Koyasans peaceful soothing soundscapes will relax and de-stress you after a hard days work.
