Decasia

Decasia is an American experimental music project founded by William Basinski. The project is known for exploring the themes of decay and the passage of time through sound. Basinski's work often involves manipulating and looping tape recordings, creating hauntingly beautiful soundscapes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy. His music has been associated with the ambient and drone genres.

Basinski's most notable work involves the "Disintegration Loops" series, where he recorded the decay of old tapes, capturing the sounds of the tapes crumbling and disintegrating as they played. This process resulted in a unique and captivating sound that has been widely acclaimed. Decasia has released music on various labels and has been featured in several films and exhibitions.
