None may be better suited to crafting eulogies than William Basinski. The composer who graced us with the melancholy masterpiece Disintegration Loops now turns his gaze to David Bowie. Today marks the one year anniversary of Bowie's passing and so we humbly premiere Basinski's tribute 'For David Robert Jones.' This hymn for the music hero will be released January 20th on Temporary Residence Ltd. Keep your ears on RBMA Radio because Los Angeles resident Basinski will soon appear as a guest on Frosty's weekly LAndscape program.

A Shadow In Time 

William Basinski - For David Robert Jones [LAndscape Premiere]

Elf

A friend came up to me once and said, they did a projection of each person based on internet data, and then drew an avatar of them, 20 years in the future. You end up something like an elf dj? He was like, does that sound familiar? I was like, huh? Yeah kinda I do love that kind of music but the elf thing, not sure. Then he goes, well, it’s like a dark elf dj kinda thjng, Dark beats but fun too, kid friendly, safe & sound, that’s the elf part. 

That conversation was 24 years ago. My Military years. 

Did it really happen?
