San

San is an affirmation of Deuter's pan-cultural musical vision. Linking elements of Western musical traditions with the spirituality of Eastern musical traditions, Deuter uses a broad range of instruments and sound from all over the world to communicate an experience of life through music. Deuter explains, "the message in the music is light. Light as opposed to heavy, and light as opposed to darkness. The music is derived from an understanding that life is a gift, and from an acceptance of the miracle that all things exist."

Deuter has demonstrated from the start an unusual sensitivity to the possibilities of sound. With the ability to combine diverse sounds into a satisfying whole, he has managed to incorporate rhythms, musical influences, and natural sounds that gently persuade acceptance of all things. San is a perfect example of this pioneering spirit.
