William Basinski - d|p 1.1

Disintegration Loop 1.1 consists of one static shot of lower Manhattan billowing smoke during the last hour of daylight on September 11th, 2001, set to the decaying pastoral tape loop Basinski had recorded in August, 2001. Shot from Basinski's roof in Williamsburg Brooklyn, this is an actual documentary of how he and his neighbors witnessed the end of that fateful day. It is a tragically beautiful cinema verite elegy dedicated to those who perished in the atrocities of September 11th, 2001

[J. S. Gordon]

I have to agree with you. I listen to this song a lot, and never do I make any associations with the 9/11 tragedies. Not that there's anything wrong with making those associations, I just happen not to but I still feel a complete and very deep connection to the music. Sometimes I can sit listening to it for an hour and not assign any particular event of emotion to it, it kind of moves through me in a much more transcendent way. And that's the beauty and power of music! It's fucking good stuff.

I would have a difficult time doing homework to this. I would be too entranced in these loops to focus on anything else.
