I produced this track when I was 17. I was in a creative renaissance having discovered electronica in Europe a couple of years' prior and poured out song after song. I wanted to release this track as my debut single because of what it represents: an era of my life and my musical development where I was finally starting to create what I wanted to create after years of playing acoustic instruments. But I was held back by self doubt and overwhelmed by mixing; I could never get it to sound release-ready. To finally put this out into the world is symbolic for me, because now I can let go of that time and move forward from here.
It's called Siberia simply because as I started to write, I envisioned a brutal but beautiful sparkling icy landscape. But underneath that, this song is really an expression of my emotions in their abstract form. I hope it pulls you along.
