William Basinski is a classically trained musician and 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 Media. The Temporary Residence deluxe LP box-set reissue from 2012 was awarded best re-issue of the year and a score of 10 on Pitchfork. Installations and films made in collaboration with artist-filmmaker, James Elaine have been presented in festivals and museums internationally, and his concerts are presented to sold out crowds around the world. Basinski was chosen by Music Director, Antony Hegarty to create music for the Robert Wilson opera, The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic which had its world premiere at the Manchester International Festival in July 2011 and toured Europe in 2012 and North America in 2013. 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, Dark Mofo Festival in Hobart Tasmania and most recently Pitchfork Midwinter Festival with the Chicago Philharmonic. Basinski is currently touring the world in support of his latest work, "On Time Out of Time" which was released on March 8th, 2019 on Temporary Residence/2062/USA.

Steve Roach is a leading American pioneer in the evolution of ambient/electronic music, helping shape it into what it is today. Twice Grammy-nominated, his releases span over four decades and over 150 albums. His massive catalog of landmark recordings includes Structures from Silence [http://www.projekt.com/store/product/pro00415], Dreamtime Return [http://www.projekt.com/store/product/pro00175] and Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces (part 1-4) [http://www.projekt.com/store/product/pro00142]. Drawing from a vast, unique and deeply personal authenticity, his albums are fueled by the momentum of a lifetime dedicated to the soundcurrent. Roach is an artist operating at the pinnacle of his career, driven by a passion and unbroken focus that lives within the soul-stirring depth of his music.
From the expansive, time-suspending spaces reflecting his spiritual home in Baja Arizona to the fire-breathing, sequencer, percussive-driven rhythmic expressions woven from all things electric and organic, this innovative world of sound has been nourished by years of transcendent concerts worldwide in extraordinary settings. A concert space within a lava tube on the Canary Island of Lanzarote, an ancient cathedral in the Basque region of Spain, a mountain-top Roman amphitheater in Verucchio Italy, a volcanic lava rock performance site encircled by 65 stone monoliths in Mexico City, along with cathedrals, intimate rock and jazz venues and classic theaters across the US and Europe are among the spectacular scenes that have informed the evolution of his work.
Roach’s two hours and longer extended solo concerts unfold as a continuous journey experience traveling through a vast range of sonic landscapes, dynamic emotion, visceral intensity and delicate introspection. Every live event is unique in response to the audience, venue, and the visual collaborators in tune with the trajectory of the set.
Always reaching toward what’s next on the horizon, Roach refuses to be tied down to any one stylistic direction. Capturing peak moments as they occur in his Baja Arizona Timeroom studio or on the front side of now in the live setting, he creates a sonic experience that breathes pure emotion and delivers a vital life energy to an audience worldwide.
