Item Description

The Disintegration Loops is a series of four albums by American avant-garde composer William Basinski released in 2002 and 2003.
All albums are recorded in the same form of a tape loop which slowly deteriorates as it passes by the tape head, creating all the more noises and cracks in the music as the theme progresses.
The recording coincided with the 9/11 attacks and the album covers and accompanying videos feature a still skyline of New York City with smoke and dust rising from the World Trade Center site.
New-York based record label Temporary Residence reissued the entire Disintegration Loops series in 2012 as a massive 9x LP box set, marking the project s 10-year anniversary as well as its impending induction into the National September 11 Memorial Museum.
Named The Disintegration Loops, the remastered collection was released in a limited edition of 2,000, complete with a 5xCD version, 63-minute DVD, and 144-page coffee table book with photos and liner notes by Basinski, Antony, David Tibet, Ronen Givony and Michael Shulan.
In addition to the four volumes of the series, the reissue includes two previously unreleased orchestral performances: one recorded live during a Wordless Music event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on September 11, 2011, and one recorded at the 54th Venice Biennale.
These two tracks are included on the fifth disc of the CD version as The Disintegration Loops V.
It s the kind of music that makes you believe there is a Heaven, and that this is what it must sound like.
