Deuter Releases ‘Mångata’
SANTA FE, NM (January 24, 2025) — German born new age instrumentalist and recording artist CG Deuter (also known as simply Deuter) has released a new album, Mångata, through Colorado-based label Curve Blue, and continues his tradition of blending ambient, world, and new age music that enlightens the lives of his global fanbase. The 9-track album will be available on all digital and streaming platforms in late January 2025: https://lnk.to/Deuter_Mangata
Deuter seems to tap a bottomless well of inspiration. This album’s title, Mångata, refers to the Swedish word for "moon path," describing the reflection of the moon’s light on water. This captures the contemplative and serene nature of the album, evoking feelings of tranquility, connection to nature, and the mysteries of the cosmos. At times, Mångata evokes the minimalist, cinematic approach of Nils Frahm, or the immersive, world-influenced soundscapes of Lisa Gerrard's work on solo projects like THE MIRROR POOL, or the meditative, hypnotic quality of Terry Riley. Fans of David Wahler and Jóhann Jóhannsson will also find a kindred spirit in Deuter's latest work.
Mångata is receiving praise as an album that Deuter traditionalists will enjoy. Music writer Robin B. James writes, “The soothing sound of Mångata is very heart-driven, melodic, and expresses a deep connection with the natural elements. As we’ve come to expect, Deuter blends ambient, world, and new age music into something refreshingly new.” Deuter’s inspiration for Mångata can be seen as an extension of his lifelong quest to use music as a tool for personal and collective healing, promoting a sense of inner peace and cosmic harmony, and expressing a deep connection with the natural world by receiving inspiration from it. He is known for creating music that encourages inner peace, healing, and slowing down the madness of this world. The album invites the listener to feel both grounded and uplifted, much like the connection between the earth and the moon's reflected light.
Deuter has recorded and released over 60 albums, uplifting and educating his many fans for decades. He is fluent on an ever- expanding array of instruments including the flute, guitar, recorder, koto, sitar, Tibetan singing bowls, santoor, bouzouki, piano and keyboards. His 2015 album, Illumination of the Heart, was voted among the top finalists for Album of the Year and Best Meditation/Relaxation Album by broadcasters at Zone Music Reporter, which also awarded him the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016 for his musical contributions.
