Techno

I think the thing to be said about Surgeon is that he doesn't stand still or play it easy like a lot of his contemporaries have. These days it's easy to sound very polished and for the sound design to take over. The impression I get is that he doesn't have any interest in being that kind of a producer because for him the process is the most interesting part, which probably leads to more varied results than his earlier work. Rather than play it safe he always tries to challenge himself with his setup and work within its limitations and also to incorporate more experimental ideas or techniques into his tekno work. Originally it was more ideas from other composers, now it seems to be more from his own work like The Transcendence Orchestra.
