Howdy and welcome to my store! For a collection of music built around the poignant
inevitability of decay, there has been a great many
hopeful and inspired words devoted to William
Basinski's The Disintegration Loops: stunning,
ethereal, majestic, transfixing, life-affirming… and for
good reason. From its 20-year gestation period to its
infamously fateful completion, The Disintegration
Loops is one of the most powerful manifestations of
the inevitable cycle of life ever committed to tape,
even as it documents the inevitable decay of all that is
committed to tape. The very passage of time is its
most effective instrument.
To mark the 10-year anniversary of its original release
– and its forthcoming induction into the 9/11 Memorial
Museum this year – Temporary Residence Ltd. is
honored to collaborate with William Basinski in
presenting The Disintegration Loops in a fashion truly
befitting a library of music with such a lasting legacy.
This massive limited-edition box set contains all four
historic volumes, plus a pair of stunning live orchestral
performances from the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and the 54th Venice Biennale, both previously
unreleased. Remastered from the original recordings
and pressed onto 100% virgin vinyl for the first and
only time, this exquisite box set also includes all of the
remastered recordings on 5 CDs, the extremely rare
63-minute The Disintegration Loops film on DVD, and
a 144-page full-color coffee table book featuring rare
photos taken during the making of The Disintegration
Loops, and liner notes by Basinski, Antony, David
Tibet of Current 93, Ronen Givony of the Wordless
Music Series, and Michael Shulan, Creative Director
of the National September 11 Memorial Museum.
The Disintegration Loops has never appeared on
vinyl, and will never appear so again outside of this
sincerely special, painstakingly beautiful collection.
“It's the kind of music that makes you
believe there is a Heaven, and that
this is what it must sound like.”
– Pitchfork, 9.4 Best New Music
“Overwhelming...transfixing.”
– The New York Times
“Astonighing.” – NPR
“Essential.” – FACT
