I haven't done much PolarTrance stuff recently... for the last 4-ish years. I doubt anybody was wondering, but anyway.

Because I've been actively working with the band Late Night Screening which I'm a founding member of...

On an album, since 2016... So yeah the album took a while to make. We made it mostly by ourselves, which is why it took so long to make, but also we scrapped almost everything in 2018 and then only around 2020 we got us some recording equipment and from that it's been nothing but Album.

Most of my musical creative energy went in to that, so I haven't made much else, I have a few small projects that exist right now and might end up getting released, but who knows, the band is of course working on more music, and that does mean a lot of work for me.

I would recommend checking the album out at least, since it is similar to what I make as PolarTrance except it's with guitars, bass and drums + synths (of course, It's me after all) instead of just synths. We've also got a newgrounds account if you prefer to stay on this site.

at the end of 2008 I found out about FL Studio and I was introduced to it by my friend DJT13. After a while I started go by the name "DJC1P", but after a long time I wanted to change that name due to: I'm not a DJ, C1P = Cool1pivoter and it sounds dumb.

I changed to a very generic name "E-Shock", but I had to change due to some French eSport team forcing me to work for them or change the name.

That time I researched for a while, what name I could take and not recieve any flak for it and I ended up with PolarTrance, which will be the name that I will do my best to stick with as long as possible no matter what.

I really like the name PolarTrance, since it describes me pretty well, since I'm kinda living near the polar areas of the world (not really close at all) and I like the cold and I tend to make a lot of trance, though some of that doesn't get posted~

It is seriously annoying to change your artist name, just once should be enough, but more than that is just super bs

But I also feel like the name changes were good for me, because I now I can say "In the DJC1P chapter of my music I was really bad at making music", "After the E-Shock chapter ended I got really good at music, finally being super happy about the music I make"
