Little bit late, but I thought it was worth sharing. The Disintegration Loops - d|p 1.1 The story behind this music is basically as follows: Early on September 11, 2001, William Basinski was finishing up a music project, converting reel-to-reel tapes to MP3. But unfortunately, as the conversion happened the magnetic particles in the tape were ripped out, resulting in a distorted lo-fi sound. He then saw two planes had hit the WTC, as he was listening to the recordings on his Brooklyn apartment rooftop with neighbors. They grabbed a camera and decided to film the smoke billowing from Ground Zero during the last few hours of daylight.
