Here at Phuturelabs we’re big fans of William Basinski.

Paul wrote about his “92982” release a wee while back and had this to say about him..

“…has built a reputation for brilliant avant-garde ambient and soundscape music with his releases over the past 10 years (most notably his 2002 album The Disintegration Loops, constructed from rapidly decaying twenty-year-old tapes of his earlier music). “

His new work “Vivian & Ondine” has just been released and sounds more like “The Disintegration Loops” than some of his other more recent work.
Having spent literally hours and hours listening to “dlp4″ & “dlp6″ from that album i’m really liking this new release.

Have a listen to this excerpt and if you like it you can buy it from here.

William Baskinski has built a reputation for brilliant avant-garde ambient and soundscape music with his releases over the past 10 years (most notably his 2002 album The Disintegration Loops, constructed from rapidly decaying twenty-year-old tapes of his earlier music). He’s taken a trip back into his tape loops archive for 2009 release “92982″ and it’s a must for anyone into ambience and with a taste for the leftfield.

It was released in April this year and you can pick it up on Boomkat amongst other places. You can also find out more about William Basinski on his Myspace page.
