Carl Stone is an American composer and pioneer in the field of live electronic music. Born on February 10, 1953, he studied composition at the California Institute of the Arts under renowned composers Morton Subotnick and James Tenney. Since 1972, Stone has been creating captivating electro-acoustic music that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of sound.

Currently a faculty member in the Department of Information Media at Chukyo University in Japan, Stone also resides and works in San Francisco. His unique approach to music combines intricate compositions with innovative technology, resulting in mesmerizing performances that captivate audiences worldwide.

Influenced by a diverse range of artists such as David Toop, Pauline Oliveros, Jon Hassell, Laurie Spiegel, Nuno Canavarro, and many others from various genres and backgrounds. Carl Stone's work stands out for its ability to seamlessly blend different musical elements into a cohesive whole.

We Jazz is a Helsinki-based label that was founded in 2016 by Matti Nives. Known for their association with the annual We Jazz Festival in Helsinki, this label has been making waves in the music industry. In 2019, they expanded their reach by opening a record store in Helsinki.

With a focus on jazz and experimental music, We Jazz showcases talented artists from around the world. Their dedication to promoting unique and innovative sounds has earned them a reputation as an authoritative voice in the industry.

Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or simply appreciate good music, We Jazz offers an impressive selection of albums that will captivate your senses. Explore their collection and discover *hidden gems* that will take your musical journey to new heights.

We Jazz Records presents the second volume of their reworks albums dealing with source material from the Helsinki-based label's catalog. This time around, it's Carl Stone's turn to tackle the source albums at hand and filter the label's output through his musical lens.

We Jazz Reworks is an idea that repurposes some of the label's output 10 albums at a time. That is, the label invites producers whose music they love on board, and one by one, they tackle 10 albums worth of source material, of which they are free to use as much or as little as they choose. The series evolves chronologically, so this volume being number two, the source material is pulled from We Jazz LPs numbers 11 through 20. The artist has complete freedom.

Volume 2 in the series happens with Carl Stone, a legendary figure in creative music. His career spans decades of unlimited musical innovation. Stone's recent output on Unseen Worlds, the label who has also been instrumental in issuing some of his remarkable earlier work, ranks among the most original art of our time and renders notions such as "genre" virtually meaningless.

Here, We Jazz originals by Terkel Nørgaard, OK:KO, Jonah Parzen-Johnson and more are met here with a fresh sense of discovery, spun around and delivered ready for the turntable once again.
