William Basinski with Kelly Moran
On April 30, William Basinski brings his signature approach to experimental music to Gray Area. A classically trained composer who has worked in experimental media for over 30 years, from New York City to California, Basinski uses obsolete technology and analog tape loops to shape haunting, slow-moving soundscapes that linger on memory, impermanence, and the passage of time.
Kelly Moran is a New York-based composer and pianist who has spent her career excavating the sonic possibilities of the piano. In the past decade, Moran has released numerous acclaimed albums that have challenged the piano’s traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary approach. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres.
