Info

On March 27, 2027, William Basinski brings his slow-burning, tape-worn universe to the Barbican Centre in London. A classically trained composer who’s spent decades shaping sound with obsolete tech, Basinski turns grand piano, electronics and looping tape into music that feels like time being stretched, replayed, and gently eroded in front of you.

The set centers on Passing the Cup of Sorrows, a new chapter built from subtle, asymmetric shifts and a quiet, Feldman-like patience. Basinski threads piano phrases through hiss, delays and tape loops, letting patterns drift and mutate as if memory itself were changing shape. It’s less about big gestures than about listening close: repetition, decay, and the strange comfort that comes when a sound keeps returning, slightly transformed, until it finally lets go.
