Karunesh is a German-born New Age and ambient musician. His music has strong
Asian and Indian influences prevalent throughout, with liberal use of Indian
instruments, such as the sitar. Having sold 450,000 albums, Karunesh is one of
the best-known New Age artists. Karunesh was born in Cologne, Germany in 1956.
Although he had been drawn to music as a child and played in bands as a
teenager, he chose to study graphic design as a career. However, after
attaining his degree, Karunesh was involved in a serious motorcycle accident.
His brush with death prompted him to choose music as a career instead of graphic
design. He rethought his life and embarked on a spiritual journey of sorts,
traveling in 1979 to India, where he met Osho in his ashram in Pune. He became
initiated and took on a new spiritual name, Karunesh, a Sanskrit name meaning
"compassion". Back in Germany, Karunesh lived in the Rajneesh commune of
Hamburg for five years. Here he could develop his musical creativity in a
spiritual surrounding. He came in contact with many musicians from all over the
world and developed an ability to weave different styles and feelings from
different cultures together in a living symbiosis, creating a music that is
both spiritual and danceable.
In 1987, Karunesh released his first album, entitled Sounds of the Heart, which
is regarded as a classic of New Age music. Sounds of the Heart was followed by
Colors Of Light the following year and by Sky's Beyond the year after that. As of 2006 Karunesh has released 17 albums.
