William Basinski biography

William Basinski (Houston, 1958), a New York-based classically-trained clarinetist and saxophonist, specializes in compositions for loops and drones. He began experimenting with compositions for piano and tape that created a melancholy ambience via looped and overdubbed melodies with Variations - A Movement in Chrome Primitive (1980), released on Variations - A Movement in Chrome Primitive (Durtro, 2002 - Die Stadt, 2004), and A Red Score in Tile (1979), released on A Red Score in Tile (3 Poplars, 2003). Basinski's romantic soul surfaced again with the 50-minute ambient sonata for piano and distortion The Garden of Brokenness (2006). The music is created by the interference between the two threads (the looped piano melody and the stream of noise). The result is perhaps his most serene and optimistic work. If previous works focused on music that was "decaying", this one seems to focus on music that is being born.

    What's interesting in Warsaw?

    Warsaw is a city with a tragic fate that survived considerable destruction, especially during World War II, when it was almost destroyed. But every time it is a city like a phoenix, reborn from the ashes. Today it is worth coming to Warsaw to see the magnificent restored palace complexes (the city center is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), walk through the numerous temples, look into the modern Chopin Museum and interactive science centers. Tourists are also waiting for picturesque parks, jazz clubs and numerous sports facilities.
