    Reminds me of the winter two years ago, as it got dark at 5 and we walked in the black mud of ice and black stones they use for the roads. I used to spend my time in an art gallery cafe, with its great windows and white lights, reading Trakl and drinking wine. Or I was at home by the computer listening to Basinski looking for new places and exhibitions or public readings to go. This is past as we have corona virus now. Now I just stay at home and at 2 in the morning write a comment on youtube about what this music reminds me of. Kinda of the sound a cup of tea makes when the teapot crashes into it while pouring black tea in winter and its fragrance reaching ones consciousness like a mountain fog.

    this is perfect music for a specific mood, i feel like im 300 years in the future listening something that some lucky archaeologist just uncovered of a time and place previously unknown

      to me it feels as if i'm wandering a network of claustrophobic square concrete tunnels in the dead of night. like i'm deep in the bowels of something not quite dead, but not quite alive either.

      @@sewerbooze3151 it´s like to experiencing an ambigious landscape, like a liminal space, but it´s not just a neutral place, it´s like it was alive, feeling how it breaths.

    @kuku ruku In my opinion It's the story of the disintegration that makes it so powerful. Him finding a load of his old recordings on very old tape, playing them back to transfer them onto digital and them disintegrating as they go passed the tape head. This happened to be on 9/11, so seeing what was unfolding outside, he left them recording (and destroying themselves in the process), whilst setting up a video camera on his studio roof and recording the towers........... Pretty powerful stuff I think

    Is the entire last 20 minutes or so supposed to be silent? Or does the track only go for 50 minutes or so and the silence was accidental

    not against his attempt, but the sound is just bad and not worth repeating so long, it is not pleasant, not intriguing, not misterious, it is an arrogant lazy half of any of these. Arrogant because it betrays the listener and goes further. But the concept is awesome, thats why i will try my take, Now if this is historically importa nt, it does not make better as music but as history

      the experiment of a time and place... Water music is the perfect realization of this tape style, so yes, this feels more like a practice round, or history, as you say.
