William Basinski On Time Out Of Time

On Time Out of Time is a suite of works originally commissioned for the 2017 installations 'ER=EPR' and 'Orbihedron' by artists Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand (in collaboration with Jean-Marc Chomaz and LIGO) for the exhibition, 'Limits of Knowing' at Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin by curator, Isabel de Sena. These works utilize, among other things, exclusive source recordings from the interferometers of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) capturing the sounds of the merging of two distant massive black holes, 1.3 billion years ago. The CD and Digital formats feature two tracks: The 40-minute title track, "On Time Out of Time," as well as "4(E+D)4(ER+EPR)", a live track recorded during the aforementioned installation. The vinyl LP format features two exclusive mixes of the title track: "On Time Out of Time" on the a-side; and "On Time Out of Time (The Lovers)" on the b-side, made especially for the vinyl format.
