The funkiest string quartet ever written gets a bass-heavy, glitch-hop update.  Big in the game, Bela.  Big in the game.

An ultradeep dubstep version of Schubert's Ave Maria, as sung by the magical Heather Harker with Andrew Dyer on guitar.  This is the most beautiful vocal you will hear all year, I promise.  

Harker & Dyer - Ave Maria (Fractal Remix)

Paul Dirac

Thor ‘Fractal’ Kell plays music that sounds like William Gibson novels, late nights in Detroit, and endless Sunday afternoons in Berlin.

His production draws a slightly wider net than that, adding Bristol lushness, Kyoto bleeps, and a patient, quintisentially Canadian sense for form and shape. Past hits include the chart-topping Up on Kompakt, an EP on Primal, and releases on Perc Trax, Gemini, Fade, and his own Tide Pool label.

Other highlights include The World Outside, a DVD album / remix retrospective / two-movement symphony; ITERATE, a live / improv project with local beat legend Patience Automate; and, finally, three string quartets, two pieces for full orchestra, and a suite of miniatures for solo piano. As one does.
