Cascade and The Deluge are variations on the latest tape-loop and delay composition from the inimitable William Basinski.

In Cascade, a single ancient lilting piano tape loop repeats endlessly carrying one along in its tessellating current.

In The Deluge, the same loop is processed through a series of feed-back loops of different lengths creating a spiraling crescendo of overtones that eventually fade away to silence.

In the denouement, a series of limpid piano loops leads to an urgent orchestral theme that builds and gradually dies away.
