been listening to and falling asleep to this piece of drone music for the better part of 10 years. i first discovered this piece of music while watching the comedy by tim heidecker. i was even lucky enough to see an orchestration of d|p 1.1 live. a truly astonishing piece of art.

Billy’s is my favorite music in the world. His whole catalog is immortal. He just released a new piece called September 23rd. It is a loop based ambient work comprised of a piano melody cut up from the early 80s that has been treated and processed. I always say Basinski’s music is the most helpful artwork I have ever known. I must have listened to his records for tens of thousands of hours. I am playing it before my concerts.

William Basinski's Disintegration Loops marked an important stepping stone in the experimental music scenes history.
Recorded on tape in the 1980's the artist found that as he recorded the loops began to decay. After revisiting and digitizing its recording in 2001 days later he watched the 9/11 attacks from his apartment where he recorded footage with a camera from his roof with the decaying loops playing in the background
The results were a exploration in life cycles, tragedy, grief, decay, and more

I'll never tell you what poetry I'm reading, not for all the money in the world. Don't even bother asking.

It's late at night. You are feeling pretty tired, but you throw on another episode of whatever you were watching. You think, "I should probably go get into bed in a second." Instead, you stretch out on the couch. You tell yourself, "I'll just finish this episode then I'll get up." As you have this thought, you pull a blanket over you. You laugh at yourself quietly; you know that thought was simply untrue. You feel your eyes start to close. Suddenly, you wake up at 3:30AM blasted in the TV glow. A spark of excitement ignites inside of you. You get up and make the pilgrimage to your room. You crawl under your sheets and realize this is the most comfortable you've ever been. You quickly fall back asleep.

it's simply the best. you wanna leave? just go! don't say anything to anyone. do you have trouble with friends who love prolonged goodbyes or friends who try to convince you to stay longer? not anymore. you're already halfway home before anyone even realizes you're gone. "you should have said goodbye!" well, maybe i saw my opportunity to vamoose and took it! they should be saying, "you're a visionary, a true go-getter!" anyway, it's the most satisfying move to pull in any social situation and i recommend you do it whenever you can.
