William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops (1.1)

By chance discovery I found William Basinski’s ‘The Disintegration Loops’ way back in High School, before I was even interested in ambient or drone music. I was fascinated with the story behind these pieces, and hearing them was a real experience, unlike any other music I had heard before. They are, in a word, melancholic. Great for a rainy day where you’ve got nothing to do but think.

The perfect Companion Piece to The Caretaker’s An Empty Bliss Beyond This World, which I will post soon.
