Johnny Potts - Cultural Daredevil

From Afternoons, 2:09 pm on 1 May 2019

We've tasked Johnny Potts with immersing himself in important cultural landmarks so we don't have to. He starts with The Disintegration Loops - a series of four albums by composer William Basinski which clocks in at just under 5 hours.  The music was made by repeatedly playing tape loops the composer had made in the early 1980s.

He tells us the story behind it and plays us some examples
