about
Adelbert von Deyen (October 25, 1953 – February 13, 2018) was a German musician, composer, painter, and graphic artist. He exhibited artistic talents early, drawing, painting with oil, and playing various instruments such as violin, trumpet, and guitar as a child. He trained as a positive retoucher in Flensburg and later retrained as a color lithographer and desktop publishing (DTP) graphic designer. His first explorations into electronic music occurred during the 1970s in home studio sessions with Dieter Schütz. In 1978, von Deyen released his first solo album, Sternzeit. Initially influenced by the Berlin School of electronic music, his style evolved over time, incorporating Pink Floyd-like soundscapes (Eclipse) and lyrical pop-rock elements (Impressions), where he also added his own vocals. Between 1978 and 1983, von Deyen performed approximately 50 concerts, exclusively in Germany, mainly within the club scene. His elaborate stage productions featured up to 12 synthesizers and keyboards, requiring 10,000 watts of power. These performances were enhanced with visuals such as lights, slides, films (including footage from the first manned moon landing), and dry ice fog. Von Deyen often collaborated with other musicians for his recordings, including drummer Zabba Lindner (Hamburg), guitarists Robbi Hohensee (Kiel) and Uwe Johannsen (Flensburg), and Dieter Schütz (Sörup), with whom he shared a close friendship spanning over 20 years.
