Darren Rahn debuts new track titled “Light Of The World”
1 singles and received multiple GRAMMY® nominations, Darren Rahn, a saxophonist, producer, and songwriter, is venturing into new musical territory. His latest single, “Light Of The World,” released under Side 2 Music, combines elements of contemporary jazz with electronic dance music, all crafted using a modular synthesizer he constructed over the past few years. This innovative track is now available digitally and quickly gained traction on radio playlists.
“Light Of The World” kicks off with an infectious beat and cutting-edge synths, showcasing Rahn’s bold experimentation in merging familiar jazz elements with the futuristic sounds of electronic music. His tenor saxophone performance infuses the track with a sense of humanity, offering warm melodies that contrast beautifully with the electronic backdrop, filled with unpredictable and robotic textures. The synergy between these contrasting elements gives rise to a dynamic piece characterized by rhythmic drive, captivating melodies, and irresistible grooves.
When creating “Light Of The World” solely on a synthesizer, Rahn encountered unexpected outcomes that deviated from his initial plan to incorporate traditional instruments common in urban-jazz music. The modular synthesizer’s ability to produce unique and spontaneous sounds led him to believe that the track was best expressed through the synthesizer alone. Rahn explained that while the sounds in the song were intentionally generated, the synthesizer’s randomness introduced variance and unpredictability, ensuring that each sound triggered electrically through voltage would differ slightly upon repetition.
Rahn’s fascination with modular synthesis began years ago, leading him to custom design his own synthesizer through multiple iterations. His diverse catalog reflects a blend of secular and non-secular music, with “Light Of The World” standing out as a testament to his desire to spread love and positivity through his artistry. The title itself symbolizes both the universal theme of love and the literal electric energy that fueled the song’s creation. Rahn hopes that this piece will resonate with listeners, offering solace and inspiration in an increasingly challenging world.
With over two decades in the music industry, Darren Rahn made his mark as a solo artist with his album “Once in a Lifetime” and continued to produce hits for a wide range of artists. His most recent album, “Rock The World,” featured collaborations with top musicians and further solidified his reputation as a chart-topping producer and songwriter. Constantly pushing the boundaries of his craft, Rahn’s “Light Of The World” exemplifies his innovative spirit and dedication to using music as a platform for spreading love and positivity.
