Basinski, William - September 23rd (Colored Vinyl) Trevor

Basinski, William - September 23rd (Colored Vinyl) TrevorSeptember 23rd is the first release in William Basinski's new Arcadia Archive series. Recorded in September 1982 in his first loft in the pre gentrified DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, September 23rd is a recently unearthed early entry in what has become a hugely inspirational and influential catalog. Built from a piano piece that Basinski composed in high school in the mid 1970s, September 23rd quickly evolved into a vastly different work.
