Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Olivia Hadjiioannou aka "Oh." from Greece is a new bright light on the horizon of prog. She's a passionate composer, with her main instruments being guitar and violin. It's interesting that the various musical influences she lists on her web site are not the typical "proggy" ones, except for "Dogs" by "Pink Floyd" - but probably that's exactly what makes her music so special, being closer to Kate Bush and Tori Amos than to Genesis and Yes.

Ian Hall A beautiful song and stunning video, showcasing how Olivia can do pretty well everything in music. Vocals, multi-instrumentals, dance and video making - this is a fine example of why she is one of my very favourite performers.

Selfish tears Broke your shields How could I Mad by all Led you on Deserted Eyes Dreams you hail, hear My despair no Can't charm that perfect spell Fall Fall on me now Fall Fall on me now Haunted by dreams of mine Shadowed and vain Wronged by all Led me on Deserted Eyes Fall Fall on me now Fall Fall on me now

about

“If you like Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Anneke van Giersbergen or Eivør, you could only succumb to her new single Deserted Eyes. This is the kind of song written and performed with guts. The artist expresses how our moods, our negative feelings can destroy a relationship, whether romantic or otherwise. Her despair explodes with the same violence as an erupting volcano, then turns into a bubbling lava that nothing seems able to stop. Yet a touch of optimism reflected on the last notes. Nothing is forever…” – Sébastien Bonnays – Prog Female Voices

DESERTED EYES - The fourth single release by the multi-instrumentalist Oh.

An ethereal and epic journey into the depths of the heart. Dynamic and rhapsodic vocals summon forth the soul. Penetrate deeply into the inner darkness. The narrator of the epic verse is a melodious and warm piano which is enveloped by softly beating drums which reluctantly release into turbulent and thunderous revelations while violin crescendos announce the sage-like proclamations for ecstatic surrender.

The song takes the listener beyond the vicissitudes of relationship and love - beyond the criteria of reciprocity and togetherness. It casts a light on the individual within the relationship rather than the relationship itself. Expressing how one's state of mind — if left unchecked and allowed to settle too long in dark and despondent moods —eventually wears away at the soul of the other — casting an immutable spell unwittingly upon the one you love.

Like water wearing away at stone - so affected by your state of mind, the eyes of your beloved - are left a void - the soul having abandoned not only their body but their own dreams and aspirations as well.


About
DESERTED EYES is a music journey by progressive art rock multi-instrumentalist Oh.


Production Note
"Deserted Eyes" was filmed at the seashore in Glyfada a southern suburb of Athens, Greece in the late summer of 2017. During the filming, an oil spill occurred precipitated by the negligence of the Greek government - an ecological disaster in the waters of the Saronikos. On the last day of filming the beach was covered in oil, dead birds covered in tar and the stench of petrol in the air.

The song "Deserted Eyes" is about how a person's dark, depressed and toxic states of mind can poison our interpersonal relationships and eventually dim the light of the soul in the other's eyes, stealing their aspirations, hopes and finally the connection to their own soul and sense of self. The oil spill starkly depicted — with the blackening of the earth, toxic fumes, depressed state all present experienced, the death of wildlife — the irreparable damage to the interpersonal relationships shared everyday by all the beach-goers and coastal community. During post-production, we could not ignore the correlation that tragic event had to the song and so incorporated the visuals into the final clips.
