Late at night, when your body is tired but you can't sleep, put on your shoes and go find a usually busy spot. Sit down and observe it while it's silent - this is that feeling.
You have quintessentially captured the essence of a normally busy spot during the few nightly hours that silence prevails; so brilliant of your great mind to envision what that must be like, Bradley Huffstetler. Thank you for connecting to my likeminded sentiments.

“Ambient music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular, it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.” -Eno
Like a lovers heartbeat, the slow rhythmic pulse, or holding hands on a hot summer sidewalk, sweet smiles passing by behind rain soaked windows. We fold time with our souls that it may return to those we’ve never met yet always loved.
I kept this on loop while preparing for an important exam. The day I passed it, the father of my girlfriend died. Five years later, I keep coming back to this song as a completely different man, with that very same girl still at my side. Ultimately, what is life, if not an eternal loop? A longing for the past while moving forward?
This music reminds me of an apartment a friend and I rented in Berlin, Germany a few years ago. We spent two months there, and our bed was right against the window on the 12th floor of the building. The view was breathtaking. I spent so many hours watching the days unfold: light changes, the sun going up and down, clouds moving, city lights and the Fernsehturm… On the last day my friend had left, I remember sitting in our bed and staring at the view one last time. It was such a powerful moment. I am grateful this kind of music is here to remind me of it.
Sounds exactly like the whole of last year when I moved to the 7th floor in a flat on Edgware Road in London. I could see the BT Tower in the background and The Shard a bit further away. And many times I'd just leave my phone by the big window to produce a timelapse of the day with the camera. Quite a few times I got to catch rainbows and even double rainbows. All while this piece of William Basinski played in the background.
Heights & blinking lights,…our experience living as humans is to discover the unity of consciousness. That every moment is an opportunity to not only see, but be divine! Upon high I glimpse the fiery molten star of my heart!
I love that there are people who love this as much as I do, it is brilliant. I love watching the city lights dim as the piece proceeds to a period of stillness. May 2023 magical trip to Mexico, flew in and out of Guadalajara , driving to the city I saw a vista and was like “holy shit that looks like the video” , got to my hotel and looked out my window to see this view. A moment that confirmed I was on a journey, and was in the right path. Peace and blessings to all, thank you to whoever married the music to the video❤
this video is perfect. i have always had a soft spot for radio masts etc. blinking in the distance. its as if they give more life to the city than the city can itself, telling us that there is always more to a place than we can know at any given point. ok this is messy.
I find it almost unbearable, especially with this video. As if a heavily concentrated dose of pure, unaltered melancholy was injected into my heart. All poetry ever written shouted out in a single, unintelligible, primal word.
what was before the chicken or the egg? id bet that many people who discover ambient music and like it is because they had solitary experiences in quiet places, like in this video, looking at a landscape on your own, without music
This song reminds me of not being able to sleep for hours, tossing and turning, and then finally that feeling when you know you're falling asleep and the relief from it. It's like you worked hard for it and earned it
I heard DLP 1 first. A friend insisted that I listen to it and when she played it for me I couldn't believe it. The range of emotions and feeling within that one piece of music floored me. But when I finally heard this piece (DLP 6) I was absolutely transported. It took me back to a feeling that I'd had all my life, or at least as long as I can remember. It was simultaneously tranquil and reassuring, but also filled with melancholy and a tired wisdom. It is the feeling of life right here in a single song. It is so special to me and a real treat when I sit down to listen to it. It feels so personal, but it's really great to see that so many people share an appreciation for it. I love this vid, and come back to it now and again. Thanks for sharing.
"It was simultaneously tranquil and reassuring, but also filled with melancholy and a tired wisdom." - what a wonderful way to express how this music feels. I've struggled to express just that for a long time.
My older brother introduced my to the disintegration loops maybe 20 years ago. I loved them then but in the intervening years I forgot about them. Then one day the algo brings them back to my world. Life is fascinatingly circular, everything comes back around. Much like they nature of a loop.
heard him live in Barcelona last year, two hours later people were in another universe, standing or sitting or laying down in the venue.. was epic minimalism...
I’m not intelligent enough to say why, but this is my favorite Loop. It takes my mind that I can’t get to on my own or with other music. As the kids say It Speaks To Me Thank God for TH-cam! Not only to listen and see things but to communicate with others across the planet. I’m in Hull Massachusetts. Wherever you are, and you’ve listened to this, Im beyond grateful we have this in common. Love & Light 💜🙏
I always liked to look to the distance, it makes me so calm and relaxed. I keep imagining what is going on there, what are these lights, the story of the life of the people that live there, how it looks so peaceful and beautiful, the external world, and its problems seem to fade away for some time, it is a feeling I can't find words to describe, it is so astonishing. This video makes me travel in time, in space, in emotion, distant dreams and memories, there's no word for the feeling I get from this, this is pure magic.
The disintegration loops never gets old. I've listened to this Basinski piece for years. As humans we age, keep moving along in life and people come and go in life. Then something like this piece comes along and stays with you forever. When you are alone and put this going on a good pair of headphones and sit back and think about everyone/everything that has come and gone in life...it's hard to explain the feelings and thoughts I have. Not bad ones, just a unique feeling/state of mind comes around. Also, what city is this in this video...
I've been thinking on ending my life, due to various reasons, I don't enjoy life. I've been listening to William Basinski and it has given me a bit of peace. I'm thinking on ending it all while listening to them. Thank you.
Nobody supports me, I hate my body, my life, my reality. I'm tired of pretending I'm fine, I don't want to make my family worried, I just want to be in peace with myself.
I understand that feeling as well. I don't know what specific things are afflicting you right now but I want you to know that you're life is precious and valid. Please keep on fighting and don't give up. 💙
@@8w73 Please I hope you're still around and listening to this. Life can suck. I lost 3 people I was so close to within the year and I've been feeling empty ever since but I find solace in music like this and think of them and smile. Your life is your own and only you can live it and you only live it once. I hope you find peace and happiness.
@@8w73i get it. I just left a comment above that was not optimistic like everyone else’s. There is something wrong with this world weve been placed in. I think you know it. Theres NO F’ING WAY this is how things are to be. I refuse to believe that there isnt or wasnt a world of 100% pure contentment and bliss. It’s impossible. This place is some kinda weird, sick “innovation” of an original blueprint. I personally am not gonna take myself out tho. I dont want to find out that there’s a penalty. I guess im too cowardly on one hand, but also, I still swear there’s a level of positivity that im still fcking GOING to experience dammit… even if laying in bed day after day after day after day is not really getting me there. Theres also an individual in my life thats technically the source of all my discontent. Im literally at point where i guess i will stay in bed till theyre gone?.. idk. I dont really sit here and map out my goals like a good little business drone. However, it doesnt take much foresight to see nothing will happen without… literally getting out of bed. But hey.., good times!!🎉. PS nows the point in video where its becoming day… ewwwwww. Most depressing time of day for me is morning. Has been since childhood. I fcking almost hate the sun at times.
This loop honestly changed my life. Such a reflective and peaceful song for me and the footage chosen is honestly breathtaking. I sound very pretentious right now but I love this to death thank you for uploading it
It has something cosmogonic . It seems to contain within itself the secret of existence in its infinite reverberation. One of my favorite pieces with Caprice - Celer; Transience - Andrea Calligaris; All this has Passed Forever - Abul Mogard
I listen to this everyday, sure it's simple and is just an endless loop. But there's something about it that I cannot explain, something profoundly beautiful. To me it sounds like an ambient noise that can occur in nature....perhaps the harmony of the entire universe
The experience of listening to this and the other disintegrating loops brings the trials of life and death into a sublime focus. Thank you, Mr. Basinski. My friend has Parkinson's. It's difficult witnessing the process of his mental deterioration. This music makes it less unbearable.
if you check how the disintegration loops were done, it's almost as if they were made by themselves through basinski. If it weren't for chance these loops would probably never been published, left archived in storage forever.
Normally I don't like to watch clips while listening to music, but this video is so mesmerising and it fits perfectly. Hope it stays online forever. The music and the images go hand in hand
I love it that the people in the comment section are my kind of people. People who understand me because they can understand this type of art. Some people dont understand me and ask me why I listen to this boring music. They say its boring but its the feeling I get when I hear this and alot of others dont understand and wont feel the same like you guys...
It's Christmas night 7 PM EDT 2017 and I wish the whole planet could hear this at the same time. Perhaps many would pay attention to this ... instead of constantly going somewhere- but nowhere. Listen within ... and give the other 4 senses a rest🙏♥️💐
Beautiful- gives me the feeling of another life I've lived but I can't quite put my finger on it. Never have I been able to listen to a music loop for so long with it still sounding so fresh...
One day, if I'll ever go to Mexico, I will go to Guadalajara, sit somewhere in the distance and watch Cerro del Cuatro the whole night till dawn, thinking about life and what will be as this Loop plays. You have given me the inspiration for a truly Spiritual experience. Thank You.
This is one of my favorites. Beyond the beautifully meditative quality of the music I love the video. Sunrise, even when it’s overcast, is still my favorite time of day.
this is the best video of it's kind on TH-cam, especially since the video is not Ststic, it actually changes over time. this is definitely one of the best!
This music is transcendent. I don't use the term lightly. I've been listening to experimental electronic music for over 50 years, and Basinski's Loops have touched areas that I have previously been unaware of. I can't think of equivalents - early Popul Vuh maybe, but that's inadequate. This is new territory, mainly because it taps into emotions, rather than ideas.
A couple months ago I was just staring at Niagara Falls from my hotel room while this song was playing on my laptop, I just sat back and watched the falls till the song was over, so calming.
No way. I was listening to a recording of Niagara Falls while watching someone in their hotel room staring at Niagara Falls who was listening to this track. Coincidence? I don't think so!
These deeper and sadder questions inside that we were never able to answer, are contained in this music and video. It is like a sigh, just before eternal rest.
This is really getting me through the PhD thesis, inspiring yet soothing, providing the means to get the job done! A lovely piece to think with, as well as listen to.
When you listen to something long enough, you start catching melodies that aren't there....it's absolute ecstacy.. All my years listening to People Like Us and Ekkhard Ehlers had trained me for Basinski.
Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD-25 wrote an incredible book in the early 1980’s called ‘Insights, Outlooks’. Your first comment called it to mind. Melodies that aren’t there..thing is, they are! Check it out. Cheers!
I'm not exaggerating when i say this hits me in a way it can't really explain, got a bit light headed, breathless and felt almost out of body for a couple seconds. Like I'm reminiscing about something that i never experienced in the first place, when i feel im close to maybe explaining it another wave hits me and I'm starting again trying to figure out what this is doing to me. I'm 100% sober which maybe makes it scarier
The feeling present in these comments is what the world needs. Peace, insight, awareness, compassion. We can apply these things in our everyday lives; if we practise these qualities within ourselves, they will be practised and present in the world. And from there, the world will hold just a little more peace, a little more insight, a little more awareness, a little more compassion. And that, I think, is exactly what the world needs. We have the power to create so much.
I have the feeling whoever uploaded this was staring at this mountain while listening to this by themselves and had such a response to it that they had to grab the hd camera and share it with the world...
Im just going to be honest. There are sounds that are difficult to describe......melancholy but not morose.....and captivating to whatever part of the brain this sort of beauty hits......add some marijuana to the mix and you dont want the music to stop......thank and bravo to this collection of absolute bliss.
I'm so happy I found William Basinski. Incredible. Fires up all the chakras, energy centers. "Basinski is best known for his four-volume album The Disintegration Loops (2002-2003), constructed from rapidly decaying twenty-year-old tapes of his earlier music." Wikipedia
first one I found from William Basinski was water music..then took me to the loops. just love it.my clients fall asleep on massage bed :)))) big thank you, Gabriel
dangermoose2000 Lyrical can meansimply that a piece of art xpresses the writer's emotions in a beautiful way. It doesn't need to have kyrics, something that obviously Basinski's piece doesn't have.

this is the best video of it's kind on TH-cam, especially since the video is not Ststic, it actually changes over time. this is definitely one of the best!
This music is transcendent. I don't use the term lightly. I've been listening to experimental electronic music for over 50 years, and Basinski's Loops have touched areas that I have previously been unaware of. I can't think of equivalents - early Popul Vuh maybe, but that's inadequate. This is new territory, mainly because it taps into emotions, rather than ideas.
A couple months ago I was just staring at Niagara Falls from my hotel room while this song was playing on my laptop, I just sat back and watched the falls till the song was over, so calming.
i could easily envision this going quite well with watching waterfall/s
No way. I was listening to a recording of Niagara Falls while watching someone in their hotel room staring at Niagara Falls who was listening to this track. Coincidence? I don't think so!
These deeper and sadder questions inside that we were never able to answer, are contained in this music and video. It is like a sigh, just before eternal rest.
I’m here for the light flashing.
It really does make it feel like you actually there! I love it!
love it the comfort and transference !!
This is really getting me through the PhD thesis, inspiring yet soothing, providing the means to get the job done! A lovely piece to think with, as well as listen to.
it soundtracked my phd too as well as the prep for my upcoming defence
This is one of my favorites. Excellent body of work overall.
Listened to this repeatedly during college exams only thing that kept me sane!
👍
When you listen to something long enough, you start catching melodies that aren't there....it's absolute ecstacy.. All my years listening to People Like Us and Ekkhard Ehlers had trained me for Basinski.
Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD-25 wrote an incredible book in the early 1980’s called ‘Insights, Outlooks’. Your first comment called it to mind. Melodies that aren’t there..thing is, they are!
Check it out.
Cheers!
I'm not exaggerating when i say this hits me in a way it can't really explain, got a bit light headed, breathless and felt almost out of body for a couple seconds. Like I'm reminiscing about something that i never experienced in the first place, when i feel im close to maybe explaining it another wave hits me and I'm starting again trying to figure out what this is doing to me. I'm 100% sober which maybe makes it scarier
Me too💜🙏
This is a "loop" from heaven
lsd322 So true...
Cameron Yamaguchi why is there always someone
If a "loop" from heaven existed, this would be it.
flying into space leaving the sadness
The feeling present in these comments is what the world needs. Peace, insight, awareness, compassion. We can apply these things in our everyday lives; if we practise these qualities within ourselves, they will be practised and present in the world. And from there, the world will hold just a little more peace, a little more insight, a little more awareness, a little more compassion. And that, I think, is exactly what the world needs. We have the power to create so much.
That's just fucking beautiful !
I don't know what city lights those are, but I am reminded of flying into LA. Those lights and this music are mesmerizing.
It is Guadalajara Mexico.
@@ChristopherPesqueirabro what is that thing on the top
My fave video of all time. Who could downvote this?
I wish I could put a fresh like on this each time I see it. The video is such a good fit to the sound!
For drawing, for make models, for study and be creative. Thank you Basinski
The most beautiful piece of sound art I've yet to experience. This piece is soooo lovely...Touches the heart...
Or, using syntax correctly. 'The most beautiful piece of sound art I have yet experienced.'
@@davidcopson5800 Too funny syntax facist. His comment was almost 6 years ago, perhaps he hadn’t yet heard it in its entirety when commenting.
@@davidcopson5800 shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love all of william basinski's music. I have it on my ipod touch.
so lovely the more you listen the more hypnotic it becomes
A 40 minute piece that might absolve you of you fear of death
I love this video - Thank you.
I've loved William Basinski's work for years and I put this on my TV when I can't sleep and it works every time.
This video it's amazing!! W. Basinski, another master of ambient sounds
This is the most beautiful thing on youtube
I have the feeling whoever uploaded this was staring at this mountain while listening to this by themselves and had such a response to it that they had to grab the hd camera and share it with the world...
Perfect in every way. Thank you for posting.
Unbelievably atmospheric track. Strangely very suited to the video.
Or the video is strangely suited to the music.
@@davidcopson5800 Yes indeed, that too & both great.
Im just going to be honest. There are sounds that are difficult to describe......melancholy but not morose.....and captivating to whatever part of the brain this sort of beauty hits......add some marijuana to the mix and you dont want the music to stop......thank and bravo to this collection of absolute bliss.
I'm so happy I found William Basinski. Incredible. Fires up all the chakras, energy centers. "Basinski is best known for his four-volume album The Disintegration Loops (2002-2003), constructed from rapidly decaying twenty-year-old tapes of his earlier music." Wikipedia
This is very relaxing! Sounds like Totally FUN HUNG OVER LOVEY DOVEY DATE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING… or Autumn! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the beautiful films, Gabriel.
first one I found from William Basinski was water music..then took me to the loops. just love it.my clients fall asleep on massage bed :)))) big thank you, Gabriel
Grand, majestic and calming
I wish I could be where this is.
I wish i could wear this !
It's Guadalajara, México.
trust me u dont lol
@@demianortega1398 He might mean where the music takes him, not the city featured in the video.
I will hereafter forever associate this moving piece of music with your wonderful video.They fit together so perfectly.
Indeed. Basinski is so touching, so lyrical
Charbel El-Hani No, i've listened twice and there ae NO lyrics
dangermoose2000 Lyrical can meansimply that a piece of art xpresses the writer's emotions in a beautiful way. It doesn't need to have kyrics, something that obviously Basinski's piece doesn't have.
the past, present and the future...
good stuff, thanks for sharing.
my god!!!THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!
This song thinks back of the memories I had as a kid.
honey for the soul
truly wonderfull. Fitting video too, no Loop, thanks!
Mesmerizing
Perfect for everyday meditation.
This sounds like future i will never have, really nostalgic. Words can't describe as usual
Just all i need, for now...!
This is my favourite TH-cam video
