DEMETRAS

Chris Demetras (D. J. Demetras) is an ingenious whirlwind who has been impacting the San Francisco music scene for over 15 years. Chris’ classical training serves him as a d. j., musician, composer and producer, and now weaves anachronistic fugues into his own blend of reality music. Chris’ beginnings as an S. F. club d. j. in the 1990s highlight his energy and eclectic interest in electronic melodies and sounds. With a home studio at his disposal, he travailed through countless hours of methodical study and practice. Constant determination transitioned Chris’ eclipse of turntables with keyboards, and he discovered and conquered the performance stage. His recorded music and live shows express mesmeric orchestrations lifted by dynamic beat constructs. Chris has worked on several solo projects, produced under many different names and enjoyed numerous concrete and digital releases. When he isn’t providing euphonic-savvy production/engineering skills for himself or other artists, Chris can be found behind a camera archiving the world or mesmerized on his laptop plotting its demise through Ms. Pac Man and Galaga.
