🌌 Meth'imon O Theos 🌌
(Progressive House)

Meth'imon o Theos. God is with us. He comes to us in the flesh and walks with us always. This is dedicated to God and those in need of hope. My latest track, "Meth'imon O Theos", is a modern, cosmic take on an ancient Greek Orthodox Hymn to God, singing about God being with us, with all people, through all ages, through all suffering, through goodness. God is with us.

This song should uplift the soul even more than it will move the listener's body on the dancefloor. There is spiritual power in this sound. Greek bouzouki, Byzantine scales, rich, lush pads, strong groove and low end. Lots of organic sound and movement.

Kalamata
(Organic House/Downtempo)

The song is called "Kalamata", and it is a song dedicated to Greece, to life, to roots, to the earth, to the sky, to the sea. It holds my memories, my sorrows, my joys, my love, my life and is a journey of the soul. It is about the Kalamata - the city, the land, the people, the music, and the earth that yields the incredible olive fruit.

I created it based around an improv bouzouki solo that I did one day. All else flowed from that session. Several other Greek instruments. Traditional ethnic sounds and deep, organic, hypnotic grooves. My own vocals in it. Classic Southern Greek style beginning. Beautiful bridge and transition into the second of the song. Feels like sailing on the ocean in the end.

about

Desert Raven Denver, Colorado

Desert Raven approaches composition in a deeper way, evoking nature and dreams. He believes ethnic, traditional instruments should be used as much as possible and that they can work beautifully with well-crafted electronic sounds.

He seeks to find and bring the listener to a place of natural, spiritual illumination, where the listener encounters healing, encouragement, and divine purpose. ... more
