William Basinski - On Time Out of Time

Composer William Basinski has announced details of a new album, titled On Time Out of Time.

Due in March, the album features music that was originally composed for 2017 installations ER=EPR and Orbihedron by artists Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand. Included in the music are sound recordings from an observatory which captured "the merging of two distant massive black holes, 1.3 billion years ago."

Basinski will play two UK shows following on from the album's release, at St John on Bethnal Green in London on March 29 and Manchester's Albert Hall on April 11. On Time Out of Time is out via Temporary Residence on March 8.

Sweet, can't wait! His last few releases have been friggin amazing.

The vinyl LP format features two exclusive mixes of the title track: “On Time Out of Time” on the a-side; and “On Time Out of Time (The Lovers)” on the b-side, made especially for the vinyl format.

So pumped can't wait! Really enjoyed the Jlin song 'Holy Child' where she got the vocal samples from Basinski. 

4(E+D)4(ER=EPR) (Edit)

sounds sick! can't wait for the whole thing!

Sounds quite different from his earlier loopings - I think those collabs with Richard Chartier have done him some good!

Yeah, for real. It kinda sounds similar to Watermusic, but also kind of a mix of A Shadow In Time and Selva Oscura (which are amazing). Really excited for that title track now.

On first time through - Wow. This sounds very good. A departure for sure but lots of subtle details in the mix and incredible throbbing bass (on the right system). I don't know how I would characterise the title track (it's actually split into parts) - dark and mysterious - sort of like a cross between Eno, Steve Roach, Lightwave, Vidna Obmana (90's stuff) and Alio Die. Listening to this, if I didn't already know, I wouldn't think this was William Basinski at all but that's no bad thing. On this album, he has ditched his trademark looping altogether - apart from some strange clicks and static noise that loop for the first two or three minutes on the opening track. This is a late night record that might just keep you up as it's faintly unsettling too.

reading the description, looks like  4(E+D)4(ER=EPR) isnt on the vinyl and just a digital bonus track

Slightly disappointing. Way more monotone than his last stuff.

Just picked this up earlier in the week - A fantastic release and a real nice change in direction. My favourite section starts around the 25 min mark of On Time Out of Time - reminds me of a cross between his The River album and the bit in Koyaanisqatsi when there's they compare the city aerial shots with circuit boards

quite good, like the video.
