I'm really glad you enjoyed it man! I was extremely interested in hearing your thoughts especially on the production and writing side of things and you didn't disappoint; that was a really fascinating read.

I assumed that it was all electronic but I'd probably appreciate it more if I had a little more knowledge on any cool details of how it was made

Probably a good third of the songs have some sort of live field recording I made of just any old repetitive sound I hear in everyday life e.g. an air conditioner (which you can hear in the first half of "Mornings Dissipate in Somnolence") or the sounds of cars on a highway. I generally lather these in tons of effects so the listener just thinks it's any old ambient pad, but doing this creates subtle variations in the sound that I think make the tracks come alive a little more, plus it's cool for me knowing I was actually there and made that recording that's now preserved in the song. That's probably not the type of thing you were expecting from "electroacoustic" because admittedly I'm not very well-read on the subject...I just thought it sounded like a cool genre tag :P

This sounds a lot like Steve Reich remixed actually, did you use it as a sample?

No I didn't, what specific track does it sound like?
edit: went out and listened to Music for 18 Musicians myself. Absolutely love it, and yeah I can see why my track feels and sounds similar
