Dragomir Syarov began his musical journey back in the 90s as a teenager, collecting music. His first contact with electronic music was through pioneers Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre (still to this day). At the end of the 90s, he discovered The Prodigy and WestBam, then Trance music, got fired up, and started collecting cassettes and CDs in this style. And so until the moment when he meets techno, which completely turns his life around.

From being a collector, he decided to become a DJ, seeing his, as he describes it, "DJ guru", namely Cristian Varela, at one of the parties organized by Metropolis in Bulgaria in the early 2000s. Varela's skill impressed him so much that he began to search even more diligently for names and artists in underground techno.

Years of growing up, collecting music, and trying to perform behind the counter at various small local events around the country followed. First frustrations follow when things don't turn out exactly as he would like to master the mastery of the DJ mix. Years of gaining experience and of course lots and lots of music mostly in the spectrum of Techno and Deep House with a pinch of Techno and yet another of his favorite styles – Ambient in which he put his alter ego named Pastfuturist. While he was growing up in Stara Zagora, Dragomir joined friends in a small local DJ group called Resonance, where they worked to promote local events. He moved to London in 2014, where he worked and went to university. With his stay there, his musical universe of a collector becomes a multiverse due to his music-loving passion and visits to various events around the city. Dragomir began to collect vast amounts of music ranging from Soul, Funk, Rockabilly, Jazz, and Fusion. Regular visits to Camden Town Market are a daily occurrence, as is collecting records and CDs.

During the pandemic, he stayed at home In London purchased his first hardware drum machine, and began practicing music creation. After a year, his hardware grew to a tiny, boutique studio where he used to learn the process of producing music.

In December 2021, he chose to return to his home country and begin on a new path in his personal and artistic life.

Behind "Patterns of Attachment" stands one person, Ante Budimir, i.e. me. 😎
Originally from Croatia, I move around a lot, and my synthesizer travels with me wherever I go. 🎹

POA draws inspiration from my various music tastes and ideas that my wife has described as "Galactic Romanticism." It features intertwined melodies, textured landscapes, deep pronounced bass lines, and haunting dreamy leads. 🎶

The name "POA" is inspired by the theory that infants and young children have a need to form emotional bonds with their caregivers. I have expanded this theory in the philosophy of "POA" to apply to humans in general. The visual art draws inspiration from patterns in nature, particularly fractals.
