There may be nothing I enjoy more than really good electronic music composed by someone with a lifetime of classical training. Kelley Polar grew up in rural New Hampshire listening to disco records on his Fisher Price record player. Beginning his serious musical studies, he took up the violin at age 3. By 18, he was a prizewinner at the William Primrose International Viola Competition. He continued his musical education at Oberlin and Juilliard. During his time at Juilliard, he met Environ Records owner Morgan Geist, and his foray into electronic music began. Check out my favorite track from his new album, "I Need You To Hold On While the Sky Is Falling," "Entropy Reigns (In the Celestial City)" here:
