Facts:
The Disintegration Loops were made from tape loops that physically deteriorated as they played, first recorded in 2002.
The series became associated with the events of 11 September 2001 — Basinski finished d|p 1.1 in Brooklyn on the morning of the attacks.
His work is archived in the Whitney Museum's permanent collection.
He collaborated with Antony and the Johnsons and was briefly a member of the Spaceheads; runs the label 2062.
