The Deluge returns to a piano loop Basinski first recorded in the 1980s, feeding it through feedback loops and delays of gradually changing lengths. As the echoes multiply, the fragile motif becomes increasingly blurred and orchestral, its repetitions casting longer shadows until the source nearly disappears inside them. Where Cascade presents the same material with relative clarity, The Deluge lets it swell into something darker, denser, and more engulfing.
