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. Together with Schütz and vocalist Ulla Witt, von Deyen formed the pop-rock trio Deja Vue in 1991, producing melancholic tracks. However, Schütz's sudden death in September 1991 prompted von Deyen to retire from music and dedicate himself entirely to painting. In 2004, the Deja Vue recordings were released posthumously as the album Nightflight.

In addition to his music career, von Deyen worked as a retoucher, lithographer, and graphic designer, laying the groundwork for his later career as a professional painter. In 1996, he and his partner Nadja Boddin built a home and studio in Steinbergkirche by the Baltic Sea. He became a prominent regional painter in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, holding over 60 exhibitions by December 2014. His work, focusing on the landscapes of Angeln and the Baltic coast, is rendered in a realistic style. Since 1994, von Deyen published annual calendars featuring his landscape art. His 2003 autobiography combined a retrospective of his life with a comprehensive showcase of his artwork, which includes approximately 600 oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, and drawings, most of which are in public and private collections.

Von Deyen resumed music sporadically in 2006, releasing the album Painted Black, a deeply personal work reflecting on a challenging period in his life. This was followed by the 2007 album Rosegarden, a collaboration with Henrik Petersen (electric guitar) and Stefanie Kahl (vocals), blending rhythmic and atmospheric electronic rock with psychedelic influences. His final album, Old Fashioned (2009), was a tribute to Dieter Schütz, featuring five new instrumental tracks by von Deyen and five previously unreleased Schütz tracks. The album was released in a limited gold-edition run.

Von Deyen's earlier recordings, up to 1992, were released on the German Sky label under German News publishing in Hamburg, while subsequent releases were self-published.
