Anyone else enjoy Basinski while traveling?
For those not aware of his work, he produces very long ambient/ethereal compositions. Most of his pieces go for nearly an hour and usually one or two tracks will take up an entire album...he is my go to guy 90% of the time.
I would mostly recommend El Camino Real, Garden of Brokeness, Silent Night.
There are also the Disintegration Loops which are really interesting. He produced some analog samples back in the 80's, then two decades later he decided to go back to them and digitize. What he found was that due to the age of the old magnetic tapes, they would slowly disintegrate as he played them. He recorded this process of disintegration of the tapes and made some truly beautiful music. In a cheesy way, you are listening to something slowly die and corrode into nothingness.
There are about 5 albums in the 'Disitegration Loop' series, going for close to 7 hours. Highly recommended for those extra long journeys.:shock:
Here as sample from El Camino Real:
Disintegration Loop 1.1
