On Valentine's Day, Sutro FM hosted a listening party for Raven's newly released album, which he describes as 'R&B science fiction.' The Bay Area producer's sound is informed by his past as a guitarist and his fascination with synthesized tones and dusty textures. Gnosis, his record, features swirling synths and melancholic melodies, capturing a feeling of nostalgia. Raven's approach involves abstract representation, drawing from older music influences, creating a sound both haunting and welcoming, as highlighted by the lead single 'Gnosis Theme.'
"I came up with the term 'R&B science fiction.' I incorporate a lot of instrumentation from the older music I listen to, but my music is sort of an abstract representation of it."
"My earliest memories are of hearing synthesized tones on tape...the overall sound texture of my music is really just a continuation of that."
