Siena (Anniversary Remix)

It was one of those sleepless nights that turned into morning. Fresh snow had just fallen outside, and the first warm rays of sunlight were already lighting up Minsk. The first passersby left footprints in the snow, and slow trolleybuses rumbled by. Meanwhile, I was on the seventh floor making beats – like the sixth floor, but one higher, you know, haha.

Even though so many years have passed, I remember it like it was yesterday, yet it feels like a whole other life. That night, I wrote the original "Siena", which came out on April 5, 2016, on the EP Styl. It’s still one of my favorites, even now.

Sometimes I ask myself why I keep at it. Over the years, so many friends have given it up and "grown up". Some became rock stars, some had a hit then faded, and some have spent ten years just thinking about starting but never do.

But I found my own answer: it’s just plain fun. Making music is totally pointless and the worst kind of investment if it doesn’t give you joy.

For the anniversary, I made a remix of the original "Siena". I really love the high-energy part at the end. Here are links to it on different platforms.
