This exchange – called “passing the cup of sorrows” – became the unexpected inspiration for \u003cb\u003eWilliam Basinski\u003c\/b\u003e’s first new album in six years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile sinking deeper into the daily abyss of our collective negativity bias, \u003cb\u003eWilliam Basinski\u003c\/b\u003e stumbled upon a video describing the spiritual hypnotherapy exercise known as “passing the cup of sorrows.” Fixed on the glow of a screen that projected mounting anxiety and cynicism at a seemingly interminable pace, Basinski found the testimonials of this fascinating therapeutic practice to be profoundly moving. He sat at his piano, translating the transformation of those traumatic memories of past lives into cathartic tears of the present day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChanneling the quiet curiosity and asymmetrical patterns of pioneering 20th Century composer, \u003cb\u003eMorton Feldman\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePassing the Cup of Sorrows\u003c\/i\u003e is a single 40-minute piece that employs a solitary piano and subtle electronics to truly haunting effect.
