Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: 2°62 1301 Release Year: 2013 Note: re-issue of long deleted LP from 2003, with a tape composition made in 1979 (!) showing perfectly BASINSKIs ability to create 'dying loops', a perfectly blend atmosphere of nostalgia & decay... a one-tracker of 45+ minutes; BACK IN STOCK
Price (incl. 19% VAT): €16.00 More Info"Composed way back in 1979, ,A Red Score In Tile" eventually surfaced as a vinyl-only edition in 2003. Made up of piano, this shows Basinski's patented tape-loop technique perfectly and still stands as one of his most affecting pieces of music. If you've heard ,Melancholia" you'll likely know what I'm talking about, piano notes are transformed into tones by the slowly disintegrating tape, and the loops become motifs all of their own. The beauty of Basinski's work is in its patience, and this early piece is a testament to that overwhelming skill, a skill that few others possess. There are plenty of people now attempting similar things and recreating these sounds using similar methods but for my money none have come even within ten feet of William Basinski. Put this on, lie back and prepare to spend forty-five minutes in paradise. Absolutely gorgeous." [label info] |
