Description
Track from Svetlana Bakushina´s debut album "Sun and frost", a loving tribute to Bakushina’s Siberian roots. Having lived in a temporary settlement, ‘Taiga”, behind the Polar Circle, Bakushina became akin to the frequent echoes of indigenous songs and snow storms surrounded by arctic lights and wild animals. This contemporary piano album serves as a comprehensive reflection of Bakuhsina’s experience living in this world, with each track depicting elements of the spellbinding Northern scenery, native voices and drum rhythms, whilst in turn illustrating the magical ambience of the nearby forests and ocean. The visions however are not romanticised, starting off with the tranquil ‘Social isolation’, Bakushina expresses the seclusion resulting from Bakushina and her sister being the only children in the settlement. ‘Sun and Frost’ acts as a poignant and vulnerable representation of Bakushina’s insulated childhood, with the blunt song titles portraying the aspects of hyperborean life.
