The Project
It is our goal that Polar should be an evocative sound experience, where the authentic sound with soft seduction and dwelling on the quiet, or with poetic life energy and folklore, will lead the listener along on a trip to the Arctic Circle. We want to create a sound universe that is present and original, with moods, sound landscapes, and raw sounds from nature, coupled with our own texts and poems written during the expedition, added rhythm and composition, so it is mentally  possible to see the Arctic Circle through your ears. With a universe of sound from a kindred world, we wish with Polar to provide something new and original.

Who we are?

I, Morten Steensgaard, graduated from the School for New DanceDevelopment in Amsterdam and studied at William Esper Studio in New York. I have primarily worked as an actor, including in Lulu & Leon, in Super16 film and at DR. Theatre wise I've played mostly on foreign stages including Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz in Berlin, Teater Aktör in Gothenburg and the Norwegian Theatre in Oslo. Additionally I have a wide range of performances behind me, which I directed, choreographed and / or written. I have always played a lot of music, sung in bands and on scene in the theater. I have compiled and created the music for eight of my own theatrical and dance performances and I have the past few years worked a lot with sound including making binaural recordings in different places in the world.
