Selva oscura

by William Basinski & Lawrence English

Selva oscura cover art

A highly anticipated collaboration between two absolute legends of modern ambient music, constructed by sending heavily processed analog loops back and forth between Los Angeles and Brisbane. Taking its title from Dante's Inferno, the entirely instrumental record utilizes massively elongated tape loops to build a suffocatingly dense, deeply melancholic wall of sound. It functions as a gorgeous, profoundly mysterious meditation on time and aural decay.
