To the listener:
Our physical realm is comprised of drastically separate entities mix-matching and ambiguously aligning into one harmonious collage; such was the underlying principal behind my CD Salvaging The Past. I suppose this is also a philosophy I've based more then one project on. Regarding this project, a large multitude of my unreleased music had accumulated through the years, inspired by a variety of "traditional" ambient music sub-genres. Eventually I was drawn to compile and release the best of this work, focusing primarily on music created around the period of my self-titled Surface 10 CD in 96. From this huge reservoir of material came both Borrowed Time 2000, the Surface 10 CD on Space For Music Records, and Salvaging The Past, a slightly more crafted CD under my real name. It was obvious to me that this music had hints of icons like Mark Isham, Tangerine Dream, Ian Boddy, Manuel Gottsching, Robert Rich, R. Carlos Nakai, Klaus Schulze, Michael Stearns, and Patrick O'Hearn, so I gave them all credit for having had that influence on me. With some songs containing an intense electronic base and others a pure acoustic base, creating the mood for Salvaging The Past was tricky, but I do hope that the music brings you your desired effect, being as we put it together as appropriately as it could be done. It is all from the same soul. -Dean De Benedictis
"Salvaging the Past' is a powerfully organic and original album which reaches the inner soul. This release features unique spacemusic, tribal ambient, and dark soundscapes all of the highest caliber and has earned a permanent spot on my island picks list. Easily among the best EM releases of 2006/2006 - Jesse Sola / Numina"
