Description
Time is…Time and duration are core themes in the work of both William Basinski and Janek Schaefer, and this long-distance collaboration took a suitably long gestation of seven years from start to finish. The completed work exhibits those strands of time eloquently and breeds creativity, being an expression of minimalism and focus. Deploying a delicate piano passage from their collective archive, Basinski and Schaefer weave and reweave in numerous ways, forging a unified flurry of flickering notes. The sounds of various birds heard from late night windows on tour can occasionally be heard throughout, ricocheting off mirrored facades and reflecting on themselves.“ . . . on reflection ” looks backwards, a bustling celebration of heartfelt emotions heard through the mirrors of memory. Guiding us forward and around in endless circles and lifting us up – “ . . . on reflection ” is a sound celebration of the emotional beauty through our time on Earth, whatever phase you may be going 2014-2021 between L.A & London. Mixed at Narnia, Walton-on-Thames.
