fumi Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Surprised there has been no news on this. Original article said a March release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I knew I'd heard it somewhere before .... It's a cleaned up version of : (EDIT: oops, just noticed Friendly Foil said the same thing back in November!) Can see why it took him nearly two years since the last album, finding a slightly different setting on your tape delay unit must be knackering...

Herr Jan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Update: album released end of April ( http://www.factmag.com/2015/03/30/william-basinski-preps-new-albums-cascade-deluge/) Sad that it's just a faster / cleaner version of that earlier released track, but still very welcome!

fumi Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 No new material at all. Just a remix of an existing track. Two years? Sad and disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisk Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 William did all these tracks originally back in the late 70s, early 80s right? He's released loads of archival works, to the point where he's re-releasing music with different delay settings etc... Is he really that dry already? What exactly has he been doing in the 30 years since? Surely he must have made some more music since then? It's all quite weird really. Love his music and he's a nice guy, but this release does seem a little lazy, if that track is any indication. I wonder how many of his fans will notice/even care.

Alcofribas Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 the fixation on "delay settings" rather than music in these replies is some real cry-baby shit and indicates a lack of familiarity with basinski's catalogue. over the 20 or so albums he's put out the theme of variation is explored quite regularly. hell, even the disintegration loops contains 3 variations of the "dlp1." there are also albums of long-form works of piano loops and feedback that find themselves in miniature form on "melancholia." these two new albums seem to be a continuation of variations on a theme which is not only an artistic device found throughout basninski's work but is quite obviously found throughout the works of many artists. i really don't see what the point is complaining about this. you're either down with billy b or not but it's not like this is some new low of laziness; the dude has always been interested in exploring how loops interact with each other through feedback systems and how the results can lead to subtle but completely unique experiences. while this might seem not "new" enough for some, this is minimalist music we're dealing with here wtf do you expect?

awepittance Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I had a hearty lol at a headline I saw today about an upcoming release of his it said something like 'William Basinski, tape loop master' isnt it a little problematic that your claim to fame is *still* 'tape loop master' in 2015?

Danny O Flannagin Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Eh, if this is what he wants to do, I say go for it. I can imagine his music creation process to be more meditative than others. If you want to hear something different, he has released albums like watermusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
