**AGE OF REFLECTIONS** presents composer **William Basinski** (joined onstage by ambient legends **Windy & Carl**) in a live laptop performance of his most iconic work: *The Disintegration Loops*. Assembled from decayed tape recordings in September 2001, it’s an elegy for the lost, shrouded in time and mystery. Electronic trio **Purelink** opens. We’ll hold the ceremony in **a magnificent cathedral**, bathed in a **projection-mapped light show**, transforming the space ― and ourselves. ⟴ **WILLIAM BASINSKI** is a classically trained composer who has been working in experimental media for over 30 years in NYC and most recently, California. Employing obsolete technology and analogue tape loops, his haunting and melancholy soundscapes explore the temporal nature of life and resound with the reverberations of memory and the mystery of time. His epic 4-disc masterwork, *The Disintegration Loops*, received international critical acclaim and was chosen as one of the top 50 albums of 2004 by Pitchfork. Basinski was chosen by music director **Anohni** to score the **Robert Wilson** opera, *The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic*. Orchestral transcriptions of *The Disintegration Loops* by Maxim Moston have been performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Queen Elizabeth Hall and La Batie Festival in Geneva, Switzerland. With Preston Wendel he released a jazz-inflected LP under the name **Sparkle Division**, with special guests such as the late Henry Grimes on upright bass. In March 2022 the album *“. . on reflection”* by William Basinski & **Janek Schaefer** was released by **Temporary Residence**. ⟴ **PURELINK** is an electronic trio formed in 2020, consisting of Millia, kindtree, & Concave Reflection. They’ve amassed a loving fanbase worldwide for their fusion of influences, including speaker-knocking contemporary bass music, dub, and classic chillout IDM soundscapes. Their 2023 album *Signs*, on the innovative **Peak Oil** imprint, has catapulted them into the hearts and minds of even more fans the world over. 2026’s *Faith*, also on Peak Oil, includes memorable vocal features from **Loraine James** of **Hyperdub Records**. Racking up numerous gig appearances with fellow innovators Huerco S and Tirzah in addition to memorable sets at Sustain-Release, Purelink have honed their improvisational live sets to bring around the world ― always evolving and orbiting their unique and heartwarming core. ⟴ **WINDY & CARL** is the collaborative project of husband and wife musicians Windy Weber and Carl Hultgren. For three decades, the duo has woven guitar and bass drones and dreamy melodies into sublime, impressionistic soundscapes. Floating in the margins between ambient, space rock, and shoegaze, Windy & Carl’s footprint is gentle but wide, helping to foment a Michigan experimental scene that included contemporaries like Füxa and His Name is Alive. Stretching back to 1993, their catalog includes seminal releases on **Kranky Records**, including *Antarctica* and 1998’s *Depths*, chosen by **Pitchfork** as one of the 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time. ⟴ **7 PM** doors | **8 PM** performance **Seated** (first-come, first-served) **ADA compliant** Copresented by **Empty Bottle Presents** ⟴ **AGE OF REFLECTIONS** is a deep listening event series, founded in 2023.
