Gave Our Wedding Gift To Charity

Basinski

Texas, backed by two decades of experimentation in the field of para-classical jazz, William Basinski is the man who elevated the art loop for the passage of two centuries, becoming a point of reference in 'immense panorama of more experimental ambient music.

El Camino Real , is the album that I listen to relaxation. I know just Basinski and then I started to hear the latest thing he has done. Makes me dream and I travel with thought.
It 's a loop discovered in some kind of drawer. The disc is composed of a single composition 50 minutes. A phrase played by the usual unrecognizable ghost orchestra (piano? Arches? a female voice?) Is repeated seemingly endlessly without a break, going to dig among the most sensitive synapses of our brains. Music that feeds on micro movements and exudes a magnetism that worthy of the works of Arvo Part. Perhaps unwittingly, but with amazing results, Basinski has rewritten the dictionary in the years of ambient music.
