Avant-garde composer William Basinski will release his latest album, On Time Out of Time, in March. 

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 for the exhibition Limits of Knowing at Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin by curator Isabel de Sena. The 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 track recorded for 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.

Basinski last surfaced with last year’s collaborative album with Lawrence English, Selva Oscura.
