In 1993 he sold his part in the studio to Laswell and resettled in Paris, France. The following year he teamed up with guitarist [[Shawn Lane]], a cooperation that would last nine years. The first record was ''[[Abstract Logic]]'' with Ginger Baker's son [[Kofi Baker|Kofi]] on drums; this was followed by [[Michael Shrieve]]'s ''Two Doors''. By the third record they were joined by drummer [[Jeff Sipe]] and embarked on a long stretch that produced four records and a lot of touring between 1995 and 1997. In 1993 he sold his part in the studio to Laswell and resettled in Paris, France. The following year he teamed up with guitarist [[Shawn Lane]], a cooperation that would last nine years. The first record was ''[[Abstract Logic (album)|Abstract Logic]]'' with Ginger Baker's son [[Kofi Baker|Kofi]] on drums; this was followed by [[Michael Shrieve]]'s ''Two Doors''. By the third record they were joined by drummer [[Jeff Sipe]] and embarked on a long stretch that produced four records and a lot of touring between 1995 and 1997. In 1998 Hellborg met percussionist [[V. Selvaganesh]] at a [[Zakir Hussain (musician)|Zakir Hussain]] concert in Paris. The two formed a musical partnership that has been ongoing since then. To start with, Selvaganesh joined Hellborg in duets and in different "classical" settings Hellborg was working on at the time. Later a group was formed, first in trio with Lane, then a quintet including Selvaganesh's two brothers V. Umashankar and V. Umamahesh. Two CDs and a DVD were produced with this group. After Shawn Lane's death in 2003, Hellborg has continued to explore amalgamations of Indian and Western music, working with Indian masters as [[Debashish Bhattacharya]], [[Niladri Kumar]], [[Vikku Vinayakram]], [[Tanmoy Bose]] and [[U. Shrinivas]]. He has also started a new [[Heavy metal music|metal]]-fusion project with guitarist [[Mattias IA Eklundh]] called Art Metal. In 1998 Hellborg met percussionist [[V.
