BALKANIKA SERIES
FINAL CHAPTER - AGIO OROS
RECORDED LIVE
A story of mourning and newfound joy, as told by https://soundcloud.com/desertravenmusic

Welcome to my special storytellers' mix series, called "Ancient Hearts", which tells stories from many cultures, invoking the heart and soul of our ancestors, which are rooted in the ancient melancholic sound, which speak of the great suffering in life, BUT also arrive, in the end, at a home full of love and life and joy.

Through exploring the sound of various cultures, we begin to see the same spirit, message, and meaning among the people. We must travel through our sorrow to truly find joy. We must move in relationship with our ancestors' victory in suffering or lose our entire future and hope.

THIS LIVESTREAM
In Greek, "Agio Oros" means "Holy Mountain". I named this final chapter of the Balkanika story because this is where we encounter God on the mountain, the sacred place where man meets the divine, where the prophesy comes alive, where the legends our ancestors passed on to us about the dwelling place of the Gods somehow come alive.

This will be a massive, emotional climax to this epic story that I have been telling through music for the Balkanika series. I feel the spirit in me for this set tonight! Please join me and dance in the spirit! You will hear some of the very best of uptempo Balkan electronica, both old and new, played with a unique new vision from my heart, with live instrumentals and great passion! Let's celebrate life now, even if the world wants death! We will only give it life!

Whatever your faith or belief is, you will feel the powerful spiritual energy flowing around you and coursing through your veins, because this is the Holy Mountain!

❤️‍🔥 Enjoy this powerful journey of the Ancient Hearts! ❤️‍🔥

📜 STORY 📜
Greece is a place of many contradictions. 

A unique piece of land which the ancient Gods of Olympus ruled, a place where the beautiful mountains meet the valleys and the amazing islands in Aegean and Ionian seas. Greece is the place of myths and stories, a place where the ancient civilization meets the modern culture. A place full of music that Orpheus gave to the land when he lived close to Olympus. 

The traditional circle dances of Thrace with gaida and bagpipes, the traditional folk songs of Central, East and West Macedonia with chalkina, trumpets, tympana, clarina and koudounia, the pentatonic and polyphonic songs of Epirus, syrtos and Kalamatianos from Peloponesse, Bouzouki in Attica, the romantic serenades of the Ionian islands with the mandolins and guitars, the amazing rizitika, the lyras and laouto from Crete and many many more. 

This is a mix of Downtempo and Organic-House tracks full of traditional music influences. This is something that uses elements that are great in the past and are still beautiful and emotional in the present. Enjoy!

Desert Raven, a multi-instrumentalist DJ-Producer based in Denver, Colorado, is the founder of the Mystical Vision music collective (https://soundcloud.com/mystical-vision-podcast), which grew out of the Primordial Grooves music collective, which itself grew out of the Odyssey Music Podcast, which he co-founded with Dirlasion (https://soundcloud.com/dirlasion).

Desert Raven is a musical artist who, for his whole life, has had a deep affinity to dance, to the harmonic and melodic nature of sound, and to the healing and inspiring power of music.  He believes in the power of storytelling as well.  A good song should have a powerful message and journey, with a spirit that moves the listener's soul.  

Desert Raven has grown up and lived around the world, and uses his life experiences in many cultures as the foundation and root of his sound and worldview.

He seeks to create soundscapes with depth and layering of emotion, with extended build-ups and climaxes. He works with music that is primarily longer form and believes that, like our own deeper feelings, good, deep music takes time to surface.  As a storyteller, he embraces the epic storytelling tradition, so his music feels epic in scope and very much like a story.

He seeks the mystical groove in all sounds.  His signature style has grown and matured into an organic, ethnic, psychedelic, trippy sound, with an ancient feel, evoking a mystical vision experience.  He still seeks to explore new soundscapes where possible.  He is a versatile artist.  He has released songs in several genres, from organic house to downtempo to slowtech to psybient to progressive house to melodic techno.  Overall, he seeks to bring the audience close, making even larger events feel like an intimate party among close friends and family, where trust, love, and freedom of spirit are paramount.

His personal approach to composition and production is to infuse deeper, more ambient sounds into all he does, to evoke 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. A bass player at heart, he seeks to create rhythm and harmony that penetrates to the heart and brings the heart of the listener and dancer to a level of energy in sync with, as mentioned earlier, deep feelings. He seeks to find and bring the listener to a place of natural, spiritual illumination, where the listener encounters healing, encouragement, and divine purpose.
