From the very first idea to the finished remixes, this project took exactly 9 days. Stephan Thelen tells the story:

Day 1 (June 28, 2018): "I'm having dinner with Bill Laswell shortly", my friend Anil Prasad wrote me in an e-mail, "I bet he could create some amazing (Sonar) remixes if you wanted to."
Yes, please, I want...
11 hours later, Anil wrote: "Bill said he can do 2 songs of your choosing for remixes. He wants to do them soon because his schedule is about to become insane."

Day 2 (June 29, 2018): I contacted Yoko Yamabe, Bill's manager, and she asks me to send the soundfiles of the 2 tracks to Bill's engineer James Dellatacoma.

Day 3 (June 30, 2018): After speaking with Anil and the band, I decide to send Bill the multitracks of "Vortex" and "Monolith".

Day 4 (July 1, 2018): James confirms the safe download of all soundfiles.

Day 5 (July 2, 2018): Yoko writes: "Bill is looking forward to starting the project."

Day 6 (July 3, 2018): Bill and James start remixing at Orange Music, West Orange, New Jersey.

Day 7 (July 4, 2018): remixing continues

Day 8 (July 5, 2018): Bill sends me an e-mail: "Hi Stephan, just wanted to let you know that I've been working on the remixes. should have something by tomorrow late afternoon. will get in touch with you asap.
thanks. Bill"

Day 9 (July 6, 2018): The remixes are finished. Bill writes: "Hi Stephan, sending 2 mixes, put a lot of time into it.. felt good...i hope you like them...Bill."
I like :-)

An amazing follow-up to Fractal Guitar. I came across Fractal Guitar as a fan of Markus Reuter, and after downloading that had to go ahead and download all the other music Stephan has on Bandcamp. Love this stuff... crimlarks
