This song is the perfect representation of Tony's fading existence. He was a man so great that all knew his name and it had became immortalized in its majesty, but the man behind it began to fade, they knew the name but not the man. Soon, there will be a hole, a hole when a man should be, a hole of what might of been the man named Tony Hawk, but no longer.

I was 11, in New Zealand; we are ahead in timezones, so for us it happened in the early morning hours, on the 12th September - but I recall being at school that morning of the 12th and listening to the news etc. My parents were debating whether or not to send us to school. There was no immediate effect on us, but there was a definite sense of "wrongness" about the day. No classes really happened, we watched some new reports and footage and tried to understand it all. One image sticks out that day, in assembly, there was a news report being played and a brief interview with a man who was bleeding down his face and covered in ash. Someone laughed, but it wasn't humorous - it was the laugh that happens at a funeral when your limbic system goes haywire and responses don't match the scenario. They didn't know how to process it.

Some people may not know, so I’ll say it here. The cover art for this album is a view from William’s roof of his apartment complex, hours after the World Trade Center collapsed on the day of the September 11th attacks. He was finishing this record just that morning in his apartment with his friends, and suddenly they heard a loud boom, and looked out the window and... well you know the story. I won’t go into details because it is a sensitive topic for most. Later that evening he recorded the fallout of the event during the last hour of daylight, the dark clouds that filled the sky that day, and used the stills of the recordings for the cover of his tracks, he decided to make the album a tribute to the victims of the attacks.

I once listened to this entire loop with nothing but a blank document to accompany me. I forced myself to sit through it and wrote whatever I felt throughout. The subject matter could be the song, random thoughts, anything that passed through the mind. No breaks, distractions, nothing. Just sit and experience. Writing whatever you wish on to the blank slate in front of you. Needless to say, it was quite an interesting trip around my head. With nothing, you desire something. And as the loop slowly fades away, you feel gradually more empty. Like somethings slowly being drained from you which you have no control over. I encourage anyone who passes this to try it out. You might learn something about yourself. Also MAKE SURE you're unable to see time in any sort of way. That being your local time and the songs progress. It raises the anticipation of when everything will end. Thus forcing you to output more words before it all concludes. Light pressure. Apologies for the wall of text, just thought I'd share something mildly interesting. As the disintegration loops, so to, might you.

@cutchibodyhitthefloo7 жыл бұрын
In a healthy state, analog tape is pale brown, the color of the magnetic audio recording contained therein. In 2001, William Basinski, looking to digitize a collection of older tape loops he’d made out of easy listening music, found that the tape began to flake a bit as it played, like paint peeling. Playing the loops repeatedly, they began to lose their composition as the tape disintegrated. What starts as a snippet of a forlorn brass instrument eventually degraded into a pale imitation, as though he’d produced a composition and then, immediately after, performed its faded memory. The Disintegration Loops is immensely long (the first of its four parts is over an hour), but it is made up of repeated snippets sometimes as short as five or 10 seconds. Over the course of that mammoth running time, you hear the piece fall apart, literally. “I’m recording the life and death of a melody,” Basinski said in a 2011 Radiolab interview. “It just made me think of human beings, you know, and how we die.” The mysteries of life and death are perhaps too big a question to be answered by tape drone, and Basinski doesn’t attempt to. His piece is beautiful and sad, temporal and infinite; its changes are imperceptible, yet ever-present. It sounds like wind, like a ship’s horn heard in the distance when lost at sea, on track to either rescuing you or passing you by. Basinski made the accidental discovery of the tapes’ disintegration in 2001, shortly before the attacks on the World Trade Center. From his home in Brooklyn on September 11th, he made a short film of the light just before the evening’s end. When Disintegration Loops was released, a still from that film made up its cover. The music has since been entwined with the loss of that day, and rightfully so, but it represents forward momentum, too. Hearing the sound slowly degrade, it's clear it will eventually disappear entirely. But until then, it keeps going, trying its best to play before reaching the end. -Matthew Schnipper Source: pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9948-the-50-best-ambient-albums-of-all-time/

Have you ever sat in a dark room? Your eyes adjust after a while, the shapes becoming more vivid, the picture more clear...until the room doesn't seem so dark after all, outside just seems so bright. And when you finally step out the light is so strong...it's blinding and burning and you have to squint and force yourself to see. I think when people are in the dark for a long time they don't realise how used to it they have become, and only the strongest can brave the light, can force through the burning splendor. The rest fall back into the dark. Take that how you will. It was just a random thought anyway.

To me it sounds like perseverance. I imagine a Victorian factory worker surviving his machinery horror of a job, eventually and somehow surviving long enough amidst the steam powered pressing plants to clock off for the day. Then comes the arduous walk home, up steep smog engulfed cobblestone roads, littered with every conceivable obstacle imaginable like sad donkey's that are being whipped by impatient narrowboat drivers. Somehow, he manages to make it home, a small two up two down occupied by five families in its tiny grubby rooms with no running water or electric. He puts his cap on the mantlepiece as he warms his hands on the roaring fire, but the real warmth comes when his little daughter rushes in to greet her beloved father with a smile that can tame even the bleakest of bleakness into a moment of pure serenity. Thats what I see haha

Tbh, this reminds me of being high. Not just being a full on junkie, but taking drugs to die. It reminds me of cold nights, with no one else but myself. No food, no love, no help. Being out in the night, wrapped up in a thick jacket and a beanie over my face. Wondering if I’d wake up, but not caring if I did or not. In fact I embraced the cold, the feeling of losing myself. Falling down endlessly. Waiting to die. Being sad that I didn’t die. Then wandering aimlessly, waiting for another fix and just wasting away. That’s what this reminds me of. Reminds me that feeling is still there, even though I’m far from it. Hauntingly beautiful, empty, yet so full of emotion. Only a certain few can accept it for what it is. And I feel that way about myself too. I know I’m not going to do anything stupid now, but I also know I’m not going to be here forever. And I’ll be honest, I don’t want to be in my late 40s feeling even worse than I do now. So idk where I’ll end up tomorrow, but no matter where, I’ll be fine, and I’ll make it on my own. With love - just me 🖤 once again I’ll drift away into my eternal state of bliss, and hopefully this time I can stay there

Since being present at 9/11 and breathing in the smoke and asbestos while trying to help people, I've watched friends who worked in the vicinity sicken and pass away over the decades. In a sense, I watched them disintegrate as I watch myself fade even now. That might be why I can barely listen to this track sometimes even though projects by artists like The Caretaker don't have that effect. The fading memory of those individuals I lost, and the fading of the mind's coherence and recollections as I age, all seem reproduced by the eroding loop that turns skeletal and rasping before fading entirely. As though the memory pays homage to those who were erased when it slowly erases itself.

And finally, don't conflate surviving 9/11 with right-wing politics, the Gulf War or white nationalism because many of the people who got trapped in clouds of asbestos and other fatal toxins while trying to help people were and remain opposed to the politics of G.W. Bush and Giuliani in those years. You probably don't realize this if you actually live in Brazil, but the right-wing narrative about 9/11 has nothing to do with the experience of actual victims. Many of them were immigrants and many were Muslims. When I went to mandatory group therapy after surviving, some of the people in my group were Muslims who lost family members to 9/11, only to be targeted by idiots and called terrorists even as they had to mourn lost sons and husbands.

@@reginaldbraithewaite5833 I am aware of everything you just said. But due to the very nature of a TLDR (too long, didn't read), which is a one-sentence summary of a long wall if text, of course my short description was not going to be that accurate. Saying that I "don't know *how* to read" just because of a comment on KZbin is a bit extreme. I would still consider William Basinski and the Caretaker pretty similar artists: both of them use short loops to portray decay and both of them do it remarkably well, although _in my opinion_ the Caretaker takes it a step further and not only uses various loops, but also destroys those loops on Stages 4-6 of EATEOT. And yes, I am not American (though I'm also not Brazilian), so the 9/11 did not have an effect that big on me, but I won't deny that it impacted the World. Recordings of the event are an example of that. Finally, I wasn't even talking about politics. I was just talking about ambient music.

Two years ago today, my mother passed away. I scattered her ashes in her hometown in New York, and the next day I visited the 9/11 Memorial, where I first heard this song. On the train ride home, I played the track on KZbin while reading a Pitchfork review of the album. The article began with: "You are slowly being destroyed. It's imperceptible in the scheme of a day or a week or even a year, but you are aging, and your body is degrading." And suddenly everything was connected in a profound yet depressing way: from this tape recording to our loved ones and memories, nothing lasts forever. Everything eventually crumbles to dust. The loops are heartbreaking and yet comforting, and I still listen to them a few times a year. They encapsulate my feelings in ways that words cannot.

To think that something as ominous yet beautiful as listening to a tape die can make the brain stop for a whole hour, to think that this set of fading notes can make an individual lose sight of everything that is bothering them, lose sight of all the meaningless issues that come in this life, it's amazing. Sometimes, the simplest things in life- in my case, listening to this song and spacing out for an hour as I disregard the stress that tomorrow could bring or the stress that yesterday brought- can go the furthest. I haven't had a moment like this in years. Cherish your lives, everyone.

when it really comes down to it, all we are are the generalizations of our era. our egos would like us to think something different, but in the end we're just points in time, probability on a spreadsheet. after all, we are just space dust as it seems. the idea of lack of importance is a hard one to accept. I'm not inherently special, you aren't either; no matter your accomplishments or differences you make. In the grand scheme of things, nothing we do really matters. this idea isn't even depressing, rather numbing. unfeeling. there is no greater purpose or cosmic reasoning behind the things that happen. god, i'd love for someone to tell me its all going to be okay, that this simply isn't true. that's all i've ever wanted. i'm not even upset about the nature of my insignificant existence, its just the feeling that the time that crawls by is slowing becoming a walk. its the idea that no matter how hard i try, all i am is the flow of energy in an indifferent, unfeeling cycle. i wish i had someone to share these feelings with, i wish i had someone to make it all worth it- make my existence to mean something; even if it is just for a fraction of a microscopic speck in time. right now, i don't though- so here is where i'll put my thoughts. hope this finds you well, good luck.

This is one of the most painful pieces of music for me to listen to. Not because it is bad but because it is beautiful beyond anything. Out of all the beautiful things I've seen and heard I think this is definitely one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The devastation, shock, tragedy, loneliness, paranoia, sadness, guilt, fear and everything in between are captured perfectly in one loop that falls apart on itself and dies, just like all of us. This album can be as much as a representation of the events that took place on 9/11 as it can be for life. We all just fade away eventually. Thank you, William for your brilliance.

All day I've been feeling terribly guilty and upset over a relatively minor work related thing. Sat down to listen to this and now I'm in bed with the heat on and my cat laying next to me and I'm unable to stop the steady flow of tears. Unsure how I'm going to explain this to my s/o when he comes home if he comes up to check on me but I know I need to listen to this all the way through. Something about the flutter of the crackling edges of the trumpet reminds me of those ragged breaths we take after weeping with our whole bodies and it's so beautiful but so so so sad. I was brought here by the Radiolab episode on Loops. Very good if you want more context presented in a chill entertaining way. I hope you are all having a peaceful day.

Chronicling my listening: 8:00 I feel like the music is having a hard time breathing. The music struggles to be consistent, and it devolves. Very noice. 16:00 Feel like the breathing still struggles, but there's almost a rhythmic step to it, like the breather is getting used to it and anticipating it. 24:00 Noticing other instruments like what sounds like a harp. I know the horns been there, but I don't know how long it's been there. 28:30 The music is starting to have a very intentional staccato to it. Like a quick, shallow two breaths followed by a deeper third. Less sporadic breathing than before. 33:00 A second melody started coming in. Again, I can't say when. It's still breathing, but now steadied. 35:30 That horn guides the breather, I think. Every now and then when the breathing stops I imagine it's a step being taken forward, following the brass sound of some distant caller. 38:00 Feels like some stumbling steps, and the reverb of the horn grows a little frantic, a few steps before desperation. 39:30 There's a low humming that sounds like a plane is coming closer, or something loud and powerful is coming closer to the breather. All I can imagine is a titan walking through a bronze arch of a large city. There's no sky, nothing really except the empty city and the titan, breathing. And the object circling overhead. 42:00 The breathing has shifted. It's gotten lower, and deeper. Not as light and crisp, but labored and like it comes from the gut rather than the chest, or that the lungs are now behind the body and ears. 43:00 something's wrong. 44:00 I believe the titan is faltering. The breathing is the same, but the steps are not consistent, they stumble and trouble along. 48:00 That distant humming is now like a microwave right next to your ear. I get the impression that whatever it is, it's building around the titan as it walks. It places buildings, secures roads; generally benevolent. But it does hum constantly. 51:00 The warmth settles in. It wasn't obvious until now that the humming correlates to some warmth. It warms the walking titan. The horns have quieted, but on the titan plods. 54:00 Oh no. The warmth isn't a good thing. The humming of the creator has essentially taken over the foreground. 56:00 the humming gives the breathing some trepidation. It's lulls overtake as the foreground now. 59:00 I don't think the humming is very harmful. It may be taking center stage now, but I don't think it and its warmth are hostile. 1:01:30 The breathing is quieting. The humming is also quieting, but remaining control. The horn has long since escaped, though some faint traces can be heard. 1:02:30 The music is all gone, replaced entirely with the humming. 1:03:00 The humming is retreating. 1:03:25 Whatever it was, it has found peace, and is over. EDIT: After several minutes of no music and silence, I feel better. I feel rejuvenated and inspired to continue.

I have moved to another country, after living in my home for 17 years. I have really lived in the last year, I have found friends, all the crazy and fun situations, but I knew that I will go, so I didn't wanted to say anything to someone, so they won't think "He will leave some time after" I had to leave them, I didn't wanted to. I had to leave them, because it was dangerous. Now I left them, my plants have died, my friends have graduated, nothing is in this place. My "garden" is empty and abandoned. I am all alone in this world and all I have is memories inside my head. The past 17 years were like a dream for me. The most painful memory is this one. My grandmother was looking after me all through my childhood. We were living with them, and my parent was always at work, so we could have money to live and I was with my grandma all day. She have a son ( my uncle ), who disappeared 20 years ago. She loved him very much, and it left a scar on her when he left and when didn't had any news about him., so she gave me all the love, that she was missing from my uncle. In the end of 2019 we had a big fight, she was wrong and after that me and my Mom have moved to another apartment, and we were not talking to each other. I would miss the times, but she was wrong. My soul was hurting, when I was seeing her alone at the family parties, sadly looking at me and Mom. In the end of 2021, I've found out, that we are leaving. I went to the old house, because we had some stuff to pick up and I saw her. She was happy to see me, and I have taken my stuff, but then, after 2 years I've hugged her. She started crying and saying, that she missed me very much. I don't know how I hold my tears, but then I just left, it was goodbye-hug. She have found out that we left a month ago after that. Sorry for all of this text and useless information, but I can't. This is too painful.

In case you haven't figured out already, there are other loops in this album. This is one part (albeit one of the longer samples) of a larger collection.

This is the exact feeling I get when going on a walk I know it doesn’t sound like much but going on a walk through the town, in the evening hours, through the empty spaces where you rarely meet another person is one of the most soul cleansing activities Especially during lockdown it was a way to break from the four walls of my house and the constant company of my family and the internet, it was a time to slow down, to shut down every thought and just experience the present moment, to freely explore the fields behind my town or the abandoned railway, it was freedom I fell in love with long solitary walks

For me this is the sound of new york city at dusk mid-fall, it's a soundtrack that could have been started 100 years ago and now fading now the musicians have long gone, its very strange as even tho i know its a loop it never gets boring or repetitive, its sadly beautiful and beautifully sad, its the essence of passing captured in something tangible. if i was to die and this was the last music i heard in its entirety i would count my passing a thing of joy . to me this is one of the most important pieces of music i have found in my life., thank you for sharing it ,Mr Basinksi

Hi, i am a Brazilian independent artist. I composed, mixed and made the cover of this album over a year, thinking about the sleep experience and the layers of consciousness. It is a 28 minute album with two songs. I wanna be heard by people who connect with ambient music. Basinski introduce me to it. (I am discovering ways to spread my art and my work.) This is very special. It means a lot to me. Enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqGVgWiJYtmrjKs

My girlfriend gets excruciating cluster headaches. When they come she likes to put on this song and I hold her while she cries until they pass. It breaks my heart everytime to feel just how fragile and helpless... something so innocent and beautiful as her... that she will be gone some day. Love is very melencholy in that way.

Not sure why she gets cluster headaches, but a diet that unclogs arteries, involves far fewer environmental pollutants, and heals one's DNA (a whole food vegan diet) is sure to help, if not with cluster headaches, then with everything else. Anyone reading would do well to look into Dr Michael Greger's website for a plethora of peer-reviewed information on health.
