Stepan Andreyevich Belyakov
a frozen settlement in Yakutsk, Siberia
Raised in the unforgiving climate of Siberia, Stepan found himself at home in the quiet of night shifts, a sentinel amidst the cold. Crafting his own coffin as a practical necessity, he sharpened both eye and ear in gentle defiance of encroaching age. The music came by accident, born from a lifetime of listening to the whispering, icy winds and the melancholy resonance of his hometown.
