Tim Hecker presents new works-in-progress partly derived from the early choral works of Franco-Flemish Renaissance-era composer Josquin, among other influences. Hecker re-imagines these sounds for synthesizer, computer and guitar amplifiers.
Hecker's music inhabits a unique intersection between noise, dissonance, and melody. In his varied and celebrated works, digital and organic sources tightly intertwine. The result is a hybrid aesthetic that recalls electronic abstraction and psychedelic minimalism. Hecker purposefully obfuscates the clear tonal distinctions of traditional instrumentation, preferring to cultivate enigmatic, uneasy soundscapes. The beauty and crush of Hecker's sonically processed noise has been compared to "tectonic color plates" and "cathedral electronic music."
