William Basinski: The Music You Should Hear Series, #2

By Stone Blue Editors

William Basinski [drone/ambient musician]: Musician Snapshots

The next title in the “Music You Should Hear Series” is a profile of William Basinski. His work as a musician, composer, remixer, and producer is a marriage of opposites: classical/populist; ephemeral/timeless; Eastern/Western (both in terms of the United States, and the wider world); inspired/crafted, ambient/overwhelming. Basinski's music - largely focused on aged recordings made with archaic technology - is an extended meditation on longing and decay, bursting forth into an infinite state of eternal grace.
