William Basinski is the most rock and roll artist in the history of avant garde music. We caught up with him and composer Maxim Moston at Primavera Sound 2024, where Basinski was performing his classic album Disintegration Tapes live, for which Moston wrote the orchestral transcription. We spoke about everything from the wisdom of aging to how on earth you transcribe vinyl crackle. Line Noise is with the support of Cupra. Picture by Cecilia Diaz Betz.
