AIR 063 / Tim Hecker AIR Podcast
-
- Music
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)
