BASINSKI, WILLIAM - Cascade

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: 2062 Release Year: 2015 Note: the master of "dying tape loops" with two new pieces, based on piano sounds... (the second piece comes as download)____ "I wanted Cascade to become this crystalline organism like a star or a liquid crystal spaceship, a jellyfish traveling through the galaxy" [W. Basinski] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €14.50 More Info "Cascade and The Deluge are variations on the latest tape-loop and delay composition from the inimitable William Basinski. In Cascade, a single ancient lilting piano tape loop repeats endlessly carrying one along in its tessellating current. In The Deluge, the same loop is processed through a series of feed-back loops of different lengths creating a spiraling crescendo of overtones that eventually fade away to silence. In the denouement, a series of limpid piano loops leads to an urgent orchestral theme that builds and gradually dies away." [label info]
