Thanks for posting that. Every September 11th is still tough for me. It's as if it was yesterday that the news broke. I was on the phone all day as phone messages were received with either good or bad news, or as some of these poor people, covered in soot and ash, were dropped off by good Samaritans who had gone to pick people up at the Bridges. There was so much anxiety and grief. So many people I knew died that day, including a few friends. One friend was supposed to have gone to a golf outing my husband was running, but decided he couldn't take time off from work. They think, from the message to his wife, that he was one of the people who leaped off the building as the fire approached him. For months it seemed as if all I did was go to funerals for one victim or another.
The Disintegration Loops is based on Basinski's attempts to salvage earlier recordings made on magnetic tape in the early 1980s by transferring them into digital format. However, the tape had deteriorated to the point that, as it passed by the tape head, the ferrite detached from the plastic backing and fell off. The loops were allowed to play for extended periods as they deteriorated further, with increasing gaps and cracks in the music. These sounds were treated further with a spatializing reverb effect. Basinski has said that he finished the project the morning of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, and sat on the roof of his apartment building in Brooklyn with friends listening to the project as the World Trade Center towers collapsed.

History is about to be repeated,
end of democracy,
back to our fate,
from a movie of 1971 (for those who know)

Metallica-Nothing Else Matters.
I'm not at all a fan of this kind of music, but Metallica is the exception: they're excellent musicians.
Listen to it in guitar and violin...it's glorious.
