Description:

William Basinski’s epic masterpiece The Disintegration Loops series is now available in an 8-CD box set. The loops of the deteriorating analog tapes transform from melodic symphony to melancholic silence, creating an experience in which the passage of time makes minutes feel like an eternity. In his foreword to the new box set reissue of this work, Laurie Anderson writes, “This crumbling sound, this void-filled space, has my complete trust. These sounds are trying to take me somewhere. I willingly follow these sounds, becoming increasingly transparent.” and poetically describes the impact of the transformation. Comes in a full-color jacket with restored original artwork.
