A recent review from Weatnu Records:
  'Branches from the start becomes inspiring to the ears.  Berlin school is becoming more accepted in an electronic world of sound.  The music is professional and the mix of clear ambient and dark pads help the production shine.  There is sure to be more music heard from Pre Polar in the future.'

A recent review from Acid Ted Blog:
Here’s The Distant Survivors, the opening track to album Crystal Monuments. The album is as much chill as it is ambient. But it’s perhaps best seen as chilly, rather than chill. 
The Distant Survivors is a slow piece full of open spaces. It’s described as both “Endless grey skies. Dim sunlight. Seeping cold…” and “An overflight of a distant fjord where unexpected people are found.” This makes it sound austere and a bit unwelcoming. It’s not really like that at all. 
The synths have a rounded warmth and welcome. It’s a track that enjoys places to roam. Views to be seen. Things that are far off. It takes its time to unfold. It’s a beatless wander through snowdrifts. Crystalline.

I am working on a concept to share the creative process. You will find a series of posts that show the development and progression of the music along with technical information including sources, techniques and links to influences. I would be very interested to have your thoughts and reactions to this project as it is in a very early stage of development and constructive feedback will help me develop the concept further.

I am a surgeon.  I work in a mostly poor and working class community in Arizona.  My practice is a mix of elective and urgent cases with a large amount of Laparoscopic and, more recently, Robotic procedures.

Many days and some nights I make lives better and some days I save a life.  There have been a few dark days when I’ve contributed to the universe’s entropy rather than added to it’s light.

After nearly 25 years in practice I still feel privileged to care for others and continue to love the performance of a surgery.

I am a musician.  I have been playing music since I was 10 years old.  I have played rock, dance music, European classical music and Jazz.  I studied music at Bennington College with Bill Dixon, Milford Graves, Nadi Qamar.  (If you don’t know them, Google them.)

A few years ago, I decided to learn how to create and produce computer based electronic music.

I have experienced more technological change during my career in surgery than in all of the rest of surgical history.  The technologies available to me as a musician have also evolved far beyond what I could have imagined as a student and young musician.

I am a child of the 60’s and 70’s and remember a time when popular music often reflected, connected to; responded to, and influenced the social and political challenges of the time.  My current musical interest is electronic protest music….Propaganda for a better world.
