William Basinski and Flore Laurentienne played NYC’s Church of the Hea

Composer and sound architect William Basinski played NYC’s Church of the Heavenly Rest on Friday (11/1) as the final stop on his Arcadia Archives tour, where he and Montreal-based string quartet Flore Laurentienne are performing at places of worship. Presented by Age of Reflections, the shows feature a very trippy, custom projection light show that has been mapped to the church’s interior. Needless to say, this was a special night of music.

Basinski released his new album September 23 earlier this fall. It is the first in his Arcadia Archives series, which is “dedicated to the discovery and recovery of his life’s work” and will feature “archival piano recordings captured at Arcadia, his former loft in Brooklyn.”
