September 23rd

William Basinski

A forty-minute tape-loop epic built from a 1970s high school piano improvisation. Dusty, hypnotic, and beautifully decayed.

September 23, 2024 · RCA Victor

A warbled cassette tape spins a high school piano melody into forty minutes of slow, dusty decay. You are left sitting in a quiet room, watching old sunlight fade across the floorboards.
