Merry Psychic Tuesday!!!

This episode of PTR finds us experiencing in full Part 1 of William Basinki’s monumental and historical Disintegration Loops. These 4 albums are comprised of tape loop recordings played for extended time, with noise and cracks increasing as the tape deteriorated. Basinski discovered the effect while attempting to transfer his earlier recordings to digital format.

The completion of the recording coincided with the 9/11 attacks, which Basinski witnessed from his rooftop in Brooklyn; the cover art features his own video still of the New York City skyline in the aftermath of the World Trade Center’s collapse. He dedicated the music to the victims of the attacks. 

As always,

episode 268 : The Disintegration Loops by William Basinksi

This recording was a one-take loop from a cassette tape loop that I have been messing with. The result had me entranced. It came to me at a very transitional period of my life. I've been feeling so lost and unsure of myself lately. However, this loop has been grounding me through this metamorphosis, and I wanted to share the joy and tranquility in feeling

Ambient Electronica is Nicholas Huston.

Harmonic swells sticky taped together, nurtured by reverb and delay pedals. Creating washes of nostalgia with spritzes of serenity.

His debut album, Winter's Tapestry, is an ambient ode to the universal human experiences of navigating a hazy landscape of the mind. Each tape loop represents a delicate thread of the human psyche enduring fragility and fortitude. The compositions implore listeners to attune to these emotions which shape us and our experiences, for they are what make us human.

Prior to his debut album, Nick has been exercising his improvisational skills with sound. He has performed live with Perth/Boorloo new-music initiatives such as Resonant Fields and Tenth Muse Initiative. His widely acclaimed headlining show at Strange Festival 2022 housed a night of ambience and improvised music for his audience.

Utilizing 6+ channels each, the duo creates a firewall of rare sounds from any findable earth, finely-folded in/outta of absurdist radio theatre, site-specific correspondence, and semi-serious public-disservice announcements.
•
Warbling the unbeatable superground beween no-fi poppable gems, free-improvised nothings, and the erratic nonstop that’s everywhere anyway.
