The Sinking of the Titanic
by Gavin Bryars
A defining monument of the British experimental avant-garde, Gavin Bryars' conceptual piece imagines the ship's hymn-playing string ensemble continuing to perform as they descend into the ocean. 'The Sinking of the Titanic' is a remarkably sombre, intensely atmospheric masterwork of acoustic minimalism, utilizing highly repetitive, beautifully melancholic tape loops and deeply sentimental orchestration.
