Dissonant Futures
William Basinski is a classically trained musician and composer who has been working in experimental media for over 25 years in NYC and most recently, California. Employing obsolete technology and analogue tape loops, his haunting and melancholy soundscapes explore the temporal nature of life and resound with the reverberations of memory and the mystery of time. His epic 4-disc masterwork, The Disintegration Loops received international critical acclaim and was chosen as one of the top 50 albums of 2004 by Pitchfork Media. Art Forum selected The River, his transcendental 2-disc shortwave music experiment on Raster-Noton.de, Germany as one of the top ten albums of 2003. Installations and films made in collaboration with artist-filmmaker, James Elaine have been presented in festivals and museums internationally, and his concerts are presented to sold out crowds around the world. Basinski's latest album, Vivian & Ondine, was released in December 2009 on 2062.

When he isn't in the studio composing genre-bending electro-acoustic music or recording albums, he writes noise-riddled drone compositions as a solo performing artists. Computers, harmonium and an arsenal of contact microphones, found objects and strange guitar pedals are only some of the tools at his disposal, and many performances feature collaborations with guest musicians, dancers, and film/video artists.
His collaborators include Tim Eriksen, Albert Mathias (LiveHuman, La Alternativa), Janet Feder, Gamelan Tunas Mekar, Lina Bahn (Corigliano Quartet, VERGE Ensemble) and Mark McCoin.
