Someone Else (album) by Raphael Meleteas
Greek multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Raphael Meleteas presents the album Someone Else.
Entirely written, arranged, performed, recorded, and mixed by Meleteas, "Someone Else" is a collection of cinematic compositions where orchestral textures, intimate melodies, and analog warmth come together in a deeply personal body of work. Every instrument heard throughout the album is performed by Meleteas himself, resulting in an organic recording that values atmosphere, melody, and musical craftsmanship above all else.
Inspired by the rich tradition of orchestral pop, cinematic music and library recordings of the late 1960s and 1970s, the album looks beyond nostalgia, embracing those musical traditions through a contemporary perspective and a distinctive artistic voice.
Recorded in Athens, Greece, between January and June 2025, "Someone Else" was composed and captured simultaneously, allowing each piece to develop naturally throughout the recording process. Rather than editing away every imperfection, Meleteas deliberately preserved the resonance of instruments, room ambiance, and everyday sounds, allowing the passage of time to become part of the record itself.
Predominantly instrumental, the album also features two vocal compositions, "Someone Else" and "May 19th," drawing on the melodic language of late-1970s yacht rock and soft rock. Together, they expand the album's emotional landscape while naturally complementing its cinematic character.
Moving through changing seasons, colors, and moods, "Someone Else" unfolds as a continuous journey, at times expansive and cinematic, at other times intimate and reflective. Rooted in a love for analog-era recordings and timeless musical craftsmanship, Raphael Meleteas creates a musical world that feels both familiar and quietly distinctive.
