Karunesh于1956出生在德国科隆,名字Bruno Reuter。他从小就与音乐结下了不解之缘,并加入了各式各样的少年乐队参加了很多演出表演。他修的是图形设计专业,但却经常感觉到这不是他生命中真正想期待的东西。在他刚刚获得学位时,却经历了一场让他险些丧命的车祸,他毅然决定放弃他的原有的工作。这次“接近死亡”的经历被证实成为他生命中的一次转折点。Karunesh于1979年旅行至印度,他在poona(浦那)的阿什拉姆(印度教徒隐居地)遇到印度著名哲学家 Osho 奥修,正式为自己取了个宗教名字——Karunesh,梵文译中为“同情,怜悯”。
回到德国后Karunesh在汉堡附近的Rajneesh生活了5年。那里为他音乐的发展提供了源泉。在那他结识了许许多多来自世界各地的音乐家,把各种文化中不同风格和情感的音乐巧妙的联系在一起,创作并收录在首张专辑《Sounds of the Heart》,该专辑于1987年发行,并迅速成为"新世纪音乐"市场中销量最好的一张专辑。凭着《Sounds of the Heart 心灵之声》450000张CD的销售量,Karunesh确立了自己在世界顶尖New Age艺术家之中的地位。而在接下来的一年内,他的另5张专辑也同样取得了较好的销售业绩。
1992年,Karunesh移居夏威夷毛伊岛。
Karunesh的曲风明显受到亚洲和印度文化影响,他在音乐中的应用了一些印度乐器〔比如印度的锡塔尔琴〕。作为第一个把世界音乐紧密融入新世纪音乐的艺术家,他的作品赢得了无数的荣誉和尊敬。其被命名为World beat或world fusion的乐风成了众相模仿的对象,盗版班得瑞音乐专辑中的很多作品就是他的作品的剪辑。

Life and career
Karunesh is a German-born new-age and ambient musician. His music has strong Indian, African, Australian, Native American/Aboriginal music of Canada, and Middle Eastern influences prevalent throughout with liberal use of Indian instruments such as the violin, sitar, didgeridoo, bouzuki, Native American flute, Chinese temple flutes, tamboura, bamboo flute, and various world percussion instruments.
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 obtaining 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 traveled in 1979 to India, where he met Osho in his ashram in Pune. He became initiated and took on a new spiritual name, Karunesh (meaning "compassion" in Sanskrit).
Back in Germany, Karunesh lived in the Rajneesh commune of Hamburg for five years. There he came in contact with musicians from all over the world and developed an eclectic style of music.
