Today on Coffee Talk Radio... Scott OBrien and Diana Kerekes welcome our guest, Derek van Deerstet of Deerstet Music.

For more than 25 years, the incredibly-gifted Derek van Deerstet of Deerstet Music has been creating, conducting, performing, and composing music from a broad range of genres. An accomplished organist and violinist, as well as pianist and guitarist, Derek was born and raised in Vienna, Austria where theater, opera, classical music, and fine arts have a long tradition. Derek began playing the organ at age 5, and the violin at age 8, mastering both instruments while studying music through adolescence and as a young adult at Viennese University. He furthered his musical training through the American Institute of Music, a Yamaha Department. Derek’s dynamic and soul-stirring musical compositions incorporate many influences from around the world including Native American, Hungarian, Croatian, and Celtic, as well as the rich, classical roots of Vienna. Derek's compositions let you hear, while his graphics give the audience an inside view of how he realizes the world. The unique way he transfers and translates natural sounds to instruments creates an environment where listeners can both relax, and regain power and faith. In 2007, his collaboration song, Christmas Everywhere, received a nomination for an award in the Paramount Song Contest.

Derek’s immense talents span even farther than musical arts. He also holds degrees from the School of Audio Engineering and is an accomplished graphics artist in 3-D animation, with many of his works displayed in galleries and museums around the world. You may view some of his modern graphical artwork at http://gallery.d3dp.com/

Most recent Projects Derek van Deerstet is involved in are :

Deerstet Music proudly announces that production for Healing Waters has begun. The vision was to create something uniquely different to most guided meditation CDs. Healing Waters combines Derek van Deerstet’s spirit-touching musical compositions with JDawn’s nature-inspired writing and soulful, soothing guide voice.

“I think simplicity is often under-rated. My goal was to write something simple for the listener to follow, yet very descriptive to aid the visualization process. Balance is important, and I turn to all things in nature when it comes to portraying balance,” says JDawn, writer and voice guide of Healing Waters. “We believe we have created something extraordinary, and hope to bring healing and rejuvenation to all who hear it.” Healing Waters Guided Meditation CD is coming soon!
