A Shadow in Time

by William Basinski

Consisting of two sprawling, immersive tracks, this project continues the composer's masterful exploration of tape degradation and memory. The title track was explicitly composed as a tribute to the late David Bowie, utilizing a mournful, decaying saxophone loop to evoke a profound sense of loss. It remains a deeply melancholic, essential entry in his vast ambient catalog.
