Song: Disintegration Loop 1.1
Artist: William Basinski
Album: The Disintegration Loops
Also try: Brian Eno, John Cage, Steve Reich
Commentary: This is substantially longer than anything I've posted here, but it's necessary. It takes the hour to unfold (unwind, disintegrate). But if you don't like it in the first few minutes, you won't like it any more later. I think it's beautiful, although it helps to know the story (myth?) of how he was digitizing old loops of his as the metal peeled off with each turn. It's a milestone in ambient music, but I'll let you read up on the mythos of this music and Basinski's reflection on how it associates with 9/11.
PS I've also posted this as part of the playlist so you can just let it roll on into the other disintegration loops. Wonderful.
