POPULARITY
Best known for albums like Radio Amor, Ravedeath 1972, Harmony in Ultraviolet, and his most recent project, No Highs, @TimHecker has always been interested in going beyond the superficialities of ambient — preferring to craft music that challenges, confuses, enthralls, and excites. His creative process reflects this, often including bleeding channels, feedbacking pieces, pitch shifting, noise, and distortion. His live shows, meanwhile, can be flooded with darkness or cloaked in fog. In this conversation, Tim and I discuss his musical philosophy and love of creative and artistic dissonance, and the inherent challenges in making music that isn't always easy. ++ Music: "Monotony" - Tim Hecker (2023) "In The Fog" - Tim Hecker (2011) "Chimeras" - Tim Hecker (2006) Follow AIR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_airpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/airpodcast Substack: https://airpodcast.substack.com/

Shock World Service 053 Obelisk High by Chequerboard 03/10/13 Dublin, Ireland 1. J.R. Alexander – Memories The beautifully produced opening track from an EP released in 2012 by Jerome Alexander of Message to Bears featuring the sounds of the cups & saucers jostling about as patterned percussion. 2. Holden – The Illuminations (Excerpt) A brief tumble through the stars via an excerpt from James Holden's new album 'The Inheritors'. 3. Clark – Soft Eruptor One of five tracks from the Iradelphic sessions sent out to people on Clarks mail out list recently & described as some extra material from his recent release 'Iradelphic', it contained some of my favourite Clark tracks ever. The blurred use of Martina Topley Birds vocals here envelop the guitar beautifully. 4.

Girls Names – Pittura Infamante The key track from the brilliant LP 'New Life' by the Belfast 4 piece. 6. Wax Stag – Fantasy Gay A lovely leisurely piece of electro pop from the 80s referencing synth maestro Robert Lee aka Wax Stag. 7.

Chequerboard – Obelisk A brief track from my new album 'The Unfolding' out now on Lazybird records. http://www.chequerboard.com 9. Christ – One Sunny Cloudy Day A melting glacier of nostalgia under a blanket of surface noise from the elusive Scottish electronic artist Christ. The accompanying video by Stefan Larsson depicting two mysterious figures mirroring the movements of robotic trees in a snowy realm is a masterpiece. 10. Bark Psychosis – All Different Things A beautiful exercise in the extremes of quiet & loud from English shape shifting post rock/musical project Bark Psychosis. 11. Red House Painters – Sundays & Holidays An old tumbling autumnal gem from Red House Painters 1994 Shock Me EP. 12. Ethernet – Current (Loscil Remix) Scott Morgan remixes Ethernet creating a stunningly vast realm of icey tones. Listen out for the distant bombs going off. 13. ilex – ilk Great piece from Dublin based Holly McGowans ilex project recalling Susumu Yokota via Orbital. 14. Colleen – Break Away An interesting vocal montage from Cecile Schotts brilliant new album ' The Weighing Of The Heart. 15. Library Tapes - Sun Peeking Through The beautifully poignant title track from Swede David Wenngren's recent album as Library Tapes. 16. Ametsub - Opening Above the clouds time with this strident gem from little known Tokyo-based Japanese artist Ametsub. 17. Blanck Mass - Sundown Music to watch stars explode to would be a fitting description for the music of Benjamin John Power, one of the founding members of Fuck Buttons. 18. Clark – Guy Fawkes/Night Night A hungry robot bird beckons in an unspooling guitar loop in this intriguing vignette from the Iradelphic Sessions mailout EP. 19. Luigi Boccherini – La Musica Notturna (Excerpt) I couldn't resist finishing on this charming snippit of Boccherini. Playful, charming but hinting at so much more.
