Artist Statement (2017)

This track started as a fun idea for a scenery theme mere weeks after I first discovered Line Rider, and slowly turned into a labor of love that I poured my heart and soul into over months of work at the age of 15. The track starts out relatively simply and then incorporates increasingly advanced techniques and higher quality of both scenery and trackmaking as it goes, partly due to my abilities improving during the process, and partly due to intentional planning, while maintaining a cohesive overall scenery environment.
