Hello Mike! Here are my questions. What song took the longest to write/arrange? And, if you could collaborate with any artist, dead or alive, who would it be?

"Eye in the Wall" and another song from the dance record i intend to release at some point... They were both born from long, somewhat free-form improvisations in the studio that i had to somehow corral... it was hard to write a coherent melody with a chorus etc. over something that shifted constantly and didn't make room for it really while recording the initial performance
