The Disintegration Loops
My favorite ambient gold to listen to on the plane by William Basinski. He recorded these between August 2001 and September 2001 where he watched the World Trade Center collapse from Brooklyn. It doesn’t seem to start or stop anywhere, it just keeps going and helps you fall asleep. Waking up to it is also surreal. It puts me in a weird perma sleepy head space which is crucial for flying

“A complete masterpiece of ambient. IYKYK”

“The Disintegration Loops, created by William Basinski, are a collection of six distinct pieces of music. To make each one, Basinski started with an intact tape recording of the piece, then he fed it through a tape machine, which re-recorded the tape. He did this repeatedly, and as the tape began to disintegrate, the recording would fall apart aurally. He does this for 6 tapes, which were released”
