Bio
Oksana Rodionova (Xiu) is a contemporary Estonian electronic musician and singer based in Italy (Milan). Her creative musical trajectory began a handful of years ago (notably thanks to many live stage acts). After a long training period through the standards of classical music (piano instrumental virtuosity, traditional vocal practices and live performances) and involvement in various musical ensembles, she progressively took an interest to innovative-multi-directional electronic instrumentation, also dealing with unconventional vocal techniques. At a first step, she essentially took her inspiration from the most synthy-80s inflected facet of electronic music: from cold waving / electro-pop realms (Kraftwerk, New Order et al), propulsive minimal synth standards (Linear Movement, Martial Canterel) and early industrialist electronic assaults (Cris & Cosey). Rapidly she deals with her own musical creativity, approaching a world of sounds and ambiences which deliberately took their origins in a very personal, versatile and moody electro-pop orchestration. She uses her manual instrumental skills to introduce subtle melodious passages and colorful harmonies to the more conventional and automatic synth pop ambiences.

Do you have time to wait forever, and live your life a never never
Take a blade and cut your tethers, and leave behind your white feathers.
Catch yourself a breeze, spill out all your seeds, don't wait you may never last the day
Don't hold back, what are you waiting for?
Unleash your dogs, step outside your box, don't wait you may never last the day.
Ride upon a tide, don't hide inside, don't wait you may never last the day.    
(Words and Vocals Clive Pierce)
                                                            
All of this was created, it turns to dust when you check out.
It gives its power to the nameless, inventing riots in the south.
Oh my knight you are my mercy, the dark waters of this wrath.
Don’t you want to become fearless, don’t you dare to drown in lies.
(Words and Vocals Natalie Alva)

Solemn Youth - Dark inspirational creative dance & pop music

Over all music enthusiasts!

I've been recording since age 14 and have grown into a producer and electronic music nut. I play almost every instrument with guitar and bass being my main instruments then piano and drums. I focus most my time on other peoples music but also create music under the name Solemn Youth and with my band New Canyons based out of Chicago. My first solo album was aptly named Adam Stilson. My genre range is wide because I love music so much but tend to lean towards dark, moody and ambient music.  A few artist I've worked with include Car Seat Headrest, HIDE, Ritual Howls, Ganser, Airiel, Stef Chura, March Violets, Varaha to name a few in differing genres.
