Lamentations
Dec. 6th, 2020 01:30 pmWilliam Basinski - All These Too, I, I Love
From CD - Lamentations (Temporary Residence Limited)
This summer, composer William Basinski and Preston Wendel released To Feel Embraced under the name Sparkle Division. It was a big-hearted record that brightened the grim days of lockdown with some sunset coloured escapism and surprising tenderness. Now comes Lamentations, a collection of elegiac pieces constructed using tape loops from Basinski’s archives dating back over 40 years. This new project arrives in stark contrast to the last – grey-brown replacing honeysuckle pink, sadness for joy, emotional territories that seem closer to the composer’s celebrated The Disintegration Loops (2002).
With the aim of “transforming operatic tragedy into abyssal beauty”, Basinski has created a suite of colossal gothic melancholy: grief poured out to fill oceanic depths; stretched out and groaning along infinite hallways; spinning slowly, heavy and tired upon old machinery. Basinski draws the ghosts out of his tapes through hypnotic repetition, the murky debris begins to materialise as a presence with emotional sentience. The compositions transform, some elongate and grow, others disintegrate.
“The Wheel Of Fortune” begins windblown and circling, spinning out into a spiral galaxy; the trembling figure of “Tear Vial” invites you to hold it gently before it snuffs out. “O, My Daughter, O, My Sorrow” is a crushing liturgy whose beautiful soprano voice floats across a scene of dense sunken grandeur. The penultimate 11 minute “All These Too, I, I Love” feels like a cherished memory being caressed, and we part from it reluctantly with the signal popping and breaking like the sound of distant gunshots.
Lamentations is a gently devastating and cathartic listening experience. It meets us at the end of our year of shared trauma, tapping into our collective mourning – grief for the lives lost from violence and pandemic, grief for our changing climate, our stolen aspirations, our approaching extinction event. These pieces are dark and exquisitely sad, but they are neither cold nor nihilistic – To Feel Embraced came to us from a generous and loving place, and so Lamentations does too, its keening sorrows flowing like warm tears.
{Wire mag review}
Oh yes, has to be another best of the year for me. I felt warm tears across my furrowed brow in contemplation of what has been and what was lost.
