Gestern bin ich auf "The Disintegration Loops" von William Basinski gestoßen.

Heute ist der 11. September, und zieht Euch bitte den Wikipedia-Artikel zu den Disintegration Loops rein (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disi). Wahnsinn!
Auszug:
Basinski finished the project the morning of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, and sat on the roof of his apartment building in Brooklyn with friends as the World Trade Center collapsed. He filmed the fallout during the last hour of daylight from a roof, and the following morning he played "Disintegration Loop 1.1" as a soundtrack to the aftermath. Stills from the video were used as the covers for the set of four CDs, and several weeks later Basinski dedicated the work to the victims in a postscript in the liner notes. He said that "the events gave new meaning to the musical pieces created by catastrophic decay in my studio a few weeks before."
