William Basinski - Nocturnes

"In an interview conducted by TMT earlier this week, composer and ambient legend William Basinski revealed the title and details for his next album release. Entitled Nocturnes, the disc will include two pieces, one culled deep from his Tupperware archives and the other a more recent composition. The young post-grad Basinski of the late San Fran 1970s here provides a “very trippy” prepared piano and tape loop piece, built in part upon an experiment with graphic notation. Meanwhile, Basinski the elder L.A. gun (and Williamsburg veteran) contributes a drone, loop, and feedback piece of a two- or three-year vintage, freshly revised after having originally been employed in Robert Wilson’s recent opera, The Life and Death of Marina Abramović (for which decade-plus Basinski bud Antony Hegarty also spun some tunes)."

"There is no firm release date yet in place, but as Basinski finalizes the artwork, he hopes to have it out on his own 2062 label sometime before the end of the year."

You should look into getting The River - http://boomkat.com/downloads/87532-william-basinski-the-river

It's my personal favourite of his releases, this was my take on it back in '07 and it hasn't changed:

"For some reason I visualise looking out of an apartment window in some really rough part of town at night, with it raining pretty hard, down at the road with cars occasionally going past and the only lighting is quite bright street lights down the road. I have no idea why though"

If you've ever played Silent Hill 4: The Room it reminds me of an imaginary sound track to looking out Henry's appartment (at night)

Silent Night

El Camino Real

The 'red tile' one.

I don't think the world is quite ready yet for an album's worth of this:

Awesome, thanks for the link!

yeah, thanks for that. The excerpt is great and the interview is nice too. Haven't really listened to Basinski much in years but I'm probably gonna buy this on sight.
