Desert Raven, co-founder (with Dirlasion) of The Odyssey Podcast, 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.   Based in Denver, CO, USA, he 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 and a great epic story, good, deep music takes time to surface and develop. 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.
