It was recoded with a little portable (probably Radio Shack) cassette deck sitting on the piano as I improvised a piece I had been working on since high school. It was pretty terrible, but when I did the John Giorno\/William Burroughs cut-up technique, suddenly I had something to put through the Frippertronics loop and feedback loop tape delay system - and boy did I get results. A very prolific time for a young, wacked-out queen in NYC.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58393868566853,"sku":"656605443546","price":9.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1061\/0393\/1205\/files\/4363486-3219611.jpg?v=1782544822","url":"https:\/\/www.moonlitvinyl.com\/products\/william-basinski-september-23rd-1","provider":"Moonlit Vinyl Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
