this is dope.  Always loved the dissonance you find in any bartok piece...

nasty basslines and haunting strings. great combo!

Sick. I love good use of the classics as source material. Bartók is awesome as it is, and this adds a whole new layer of awesome.

wow... the strings work amazingly well with that bassline. I dig it

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

Bela Bartok - String Quartet No.1 (Fractal Remix)

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.
