Steve Sheppard lives with his wife Chrissie on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean and the influence of the island with its beauty, myths and legends runs through Steve’s music.

Aphrodite’s Rock, Steve’s current single, is based on the tales of Aphrodite in Greek Mythology and uses sounds from Aphrodite’s birth-place and features Steve’s atmospheric keyboard work along with flute and vocalisation from his wife Chrissie.

Opening with sounds of nature and a strummed bouzouki we are then transported to the beach with gentle waves, soothing keyboards and an ethereal flute (courtesy of Steve’s wife Chrissie). The sound of footsteps takes us slowly along the beach as Chrissie’s vocals merge seamlessly with sounds of beach life and nature, an intriguing mix of ancient myth and the reality of life in the 21^st century, before we end our visit to Aphrodite’s Rock with gentle piano and flute.

Steve’s music is of course inspired by the new-age and ambient genres which he has been listening to for more years than he would probably wish to count, but make no mistake, his own brand of music is utterly unique. This new single is compelling and pulls you in to hear more. Once again Steve Sheppard has taken us on a remarkable and intriguing musical voyage of discovery.
