Albums of the Decade: William Basinski – The Disintegration Loops (2062 Records, 2002) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2016/10/03/albums-of-the-decade-william-basinski/ Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:46:01 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=2450 Over the years this record has become increasingly more difficult for me to come to terms with and talk about; it’s the polar opposite of virtually every record I’ve ever listened to in that regard, but when you consider that the whole thematic approach and significance of the Loops revolves around life and death and entropy, […]

William Basinski – Cascade (2062, 2015) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2015/04/13/william-basinski-cascade/ Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:51:06 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=1869 People struggle with tape loops and William Basinski, it’s easy to see why as well: for many people the prospect of listening to the same short fragment of music over and over again is not an appealing prospect, even for people with a big love of ambient music.

Jasmine Guffond – Yellow Bell (Sonic Pieces, 2015) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2015/02/16/jasmine-guffond-yellow-bell-sonic-pieces-2015/ Mon, 16 Feb 2015 18:54:32 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=1786 Whilst Yellow Bell is the first album Jasmine Guffond has produced under her own name, it’s certainly not her first endeavour in the music world; already established as an experimental electronic musician and sound artist in her own right, this experience is clear to see in the exacting sounds and beautiful mastering on this record.
