Christina Vantzou’s first three solo albums of chamber ambient music are numbered, like Led Zeppelin’s before hers. There is *Nº1*, *Nº2*, and *Nº3*, the most recent of which was released late last year. Naturally the collection of remixes is seen as an iteration, not a release unto itself. Its title: *3.5*. She’s assembled a great crew to rework the originals, and the first track, Steve Hauschildt’s take on her “Sterepscope,”was posted a few days ago as a promotion. Other participants in *3.5* include Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (aka Lichens), Loscil, John Also Bennett, Tara Jane O’Neil, the Sight Below, CORIN, and Francesco Donadello. Bennett played all the synthesizers on *Nº3*, Vantzou told me when I interviewed her last year ([“The Bell Jar Filter”](https://disquiet.com/2015/11/09/christina-vantzou-bell-jar-no3/)). Bennett and Loscil also contributed to the *Nº2 Remixes* collection, and Loscil was also on the *Nº1 Remixes* album. If the original “Stereoscope”was quiet and unassuming, with a glitchy undercurrent that suggested rain on a living-room window, then Hauschildt’s rendition is full-on orchestral.
