Crafted from various acquisitions picked up over the past seven to eight months; ambient, drone & hybrid recommendations via Twitter, Bandcamp, Ello, Mixcloud, Blogs & a few Net-Label requests . . .then woven all together with some ghost editing, & a little piano, violin & cello tossed in.
The cover image is supposed to be the latest “alien” spacecraft spotted by those who claim these things to be, uhm. . .genuine ( ; -D ) – so playing this may attract unwelcome travelers from distant galaxies…or not
(besides, I can’t see any windows on it…so it would be a long, boring ride…unless they’ve somehow acquired a cadre of my mixes!)
The title is a synonym for ‘monolith‘*, courtesy of Thesaurus.com.

David Bowie lives on in many ways and in many places, but at the moment, his presence feels particularly acute while passing through the Broadway-Lafayette Station of New York City’s subway system. The music legend has completely taken over, from lenticular portraits looming over the heads of commuters to posters replacing the typical advertisements and even keepsake Bowie-themed MetroCards. He might have been from London, but Manhattan was Bowie’s home, and Spotify is celebrating that fact with an immersive exhibition acting as an extension of the ‘David Bowie is’ show over at the Brooklyn Museum.
Much of the work seen in the station is Bowie-inspired art, including fan art and reproductions of the pieces on display at the museum. Each piece is paired with a statement of Bowie’s that reflects his love for New York City and how it affected his work.
“The intricate details that make up the subway takeover speak to key moments in Bowie’s New York City history, many of which were in the neighborhood surrounding 
Broadway-Lafayette, where he spent over two decades,” says Spotify of the project. “From legendary concerts at Carnegie Hall to recording sessions at studios like Electric Lady and the Magic Shop, the takeover beautifully explores how the City impacted the artist, and speaks to visitors about the truly unforgettable mark of New Yorker David Bowie.”
The David Bowie Subway Takeover went up in April and will be in place through this weekend, so if you’re in the area and haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check it out. If you can’t see it in person, experience it vicariously through the social media hashtag #davidbowieishere.

Talk about cognitive dissonance – this mix began with the Fripp & Reuter pieces and slowly grew from there over a period of 3-4 months. Some of the toughest mixes for me to make are the unplanned ones . . . where I keep adding, tweaking, playing with volume/segue/sequence lengths & then “finish” it; only to add another compo
sition or treatment the next day!
It is when crafting the sound slabs which incorporate my mixes that I most appreciate an intense ability to focus on the final deliverable. This project touches all the audiological points, for this mixer: Ambient, Jazz, Experimental & Post-Rock ~ along with my favorite guitarists: Robert Fripp, Markus Reuter & David Torn (with both Fripp & Torn appearing solo & within the context of a band)
The title originates from the Reuter track & the fact that I remixed this three+ times (until I was happy with it!). It’s a Bandcamp-only release; remixed @ our Northern Point Studio w/ artwork painted/tweaked via 53’s Paper app. This mixes nicely with our ‘Fripp 2015’ mix (which I will link to shortly).

Originally part of a commissioned set (1~4) which was sent to Mars in a NASA time-capsule*; an extensive site dig resulted in its being pared down to a single mix, a tweaking of the play-list & the inclusion of the Nobuto Suda & Martin Nonstatic compositions.
