You are great at cerebrally dissecting a piece of music and I picked this song because I was pretty curious to hear what your highly technically trained ear was getting from this piece of music.
I had heard electronic music before I even discovered Tim Hecker but I was blown away by what this guy can create; there’s something different about him. I’ve heard him described as a “sound artist” and I think that is a perfect description of what he does. Tim’s music to me is not like listening to a typical piece of music. Tim’s music to me is more like looking at a painting.
Oooo, I like that phrase -- a sound artist. And that creates a new angle to listen to this in, like watching the painting come to life in real time; starting with the blank canvas and watching him "pick colors and styles of brush strokes" and finishing with that gorgeous outro.
Tim Hecker is my favorite ambient Artist, Virgins and Ravedeath 1972 are my favorite Albums from him. Both are incredible experiences when you listen to them as a whole.
Tim Hecker is my favorite ambient artist of all time! I've never really heard anyone dissect this type of music. Very cool.
DUDE! tim hecker! cool to see you doing some experimental electronic music this is awesome! really tough one this, feel like it works better in the context of the entire album.
I found it intriguing, and definitely emotional at the end. I found a quote from "MUTEK": "Live, Hecker plays his compositions loud and preferably with the lights out; never sacrificing clarity, his sonic narratives building to transcendent crescendos or rumbling into wave after wave of body-shaking bass. For EM15, Hecker introduces a new level of intensity to his live performance, turning a concert hall into a darkened, fog-filled, disorienting space where sound completely overwhelms the senses."
Live, I can imagine that's some experience. (I studied theatre, and this reminds me of some of the 'stranger', but rewarding, experiences I had with experimental theatre.)
Oh wow, yeah that would be an experience. Makes me want to get a pair of headphones with great soundstage and listen to this again with the lights off.
i don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, tim hecker is actually quoting steve reich - piano phase with the bells/piano melody you mentioned.
I listen to many kinds of music, but over the last year or so he has become a top 10 artist for me. His music is often harsh and cold on the surface, but there is a beauty to it if you can stick with it. Probably helps I also love Metal - think that is not unrelated. 😍
hi critical reactions, enjoying your stuff. Oneohtrix point never and Tim hecker are similar. Nil Admirari off Returnal album has a lot of this level of chaos going on. :)
I know the name Tim Hecker but this is my first time hearing him. It actually reminds me a lot of a mix of modern electronic classical music that often have these minimalistic elements combined with rather avant-garde features like "free time" that give the feel of an almost improvisatory nature. What I really appreciate about this is how it started out like that but eventually pulled it together into a more coherent aesthetic that felt really transcendent. I don't know if I was moved as much as you were, but I totally get that reaction and can understand how this music could evoke that.
It really hits hard that last third of live room the, contrast is key, without it there is no journey, soulful beautiful Genius.
Hecker did a great collaboration with Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), called Instrumental Tourist. Really into that album. Of Hecker's solo works, I love his song, Music of the Air ( ruclips.net/video/ULNBMQcXnpE/видео.html ).
holy shit this is an amazing track! thank you
Can you do No Drums + Hatred of Music l from Ravedeath 1972? The transition from No drums to the next track is amazing
Ive loved Tim for years, absolutely amazing.
As far as I know the ending (Live Room Out) features Colin Stetson. An incredible film composer and musician! Sounds like a clarinet!
No not on this version, there is a colin stetson cut kicking around on RUclips. He's just shredding over it, it's almost too much. I prefer this version.

hey man, GREAT channel! love the metal reactions.
got a suggestion! NONE is a depressive snicidal black metal band from Portland OR. "it's painless to let go" is a great example of the style and a sick rock n roll song, like a way bleaker Agalloch. give it a listen, id love to hear your thoughts!
keep up the great work!!
Doesn't sound like my cup of tea -- in fact it sounds wayyy outside of my comfort -- but I'm always down to explore new ways that people are making music. Thanks for the suggestion.
tim hecker is musics mark rothko!!!!!!!! he wants you to cry
Have you listened to any of Aphex Twin's ambient works? Or really, any of his works.
If you thought Bjorks "Army of Me" video was confusing, Gondry's videos for Aphex Twin were a complete shitshow.
I've checked out a couple of Aphex Twin's work recently -- Flim, Avril 14th, and 4. I don't think any were videos though.
Leprous - Nighttime Disguise please
It's kinda funny to see you have a serious face on just noise (a large group of people probably don't understand this type of music so it just sounds like a mesh of sounds layerd together, no chorus or active instrument at all). Like ofc it isn't just noise but if you would just capture 1min of this video without context or background of what type of music this is, you could question if this is even considered music or more important fun to listen to. I find most of his work more an experience of art then something I have on repeat or in an ambient playlist.
On television we have a weekly program that focuses on classical music and they present the artist or song as something awe inspiring but when I hear it, it just sound mediocre. I'm not getting what the fuzz is all about. I guess it's fine to not always say something is good and just use you ears. I'm not giving criticism on Tim Hecker or his work, he has some truly moving tracks that absolutely click with me.
Guess it's common to use "profound" ironically - maybe to the level that it's become a "household irony" - thus making the spontaneous understanding likely to be the ironical sense?
-Yeah, really profound...
It didn't dawn on me but maybe it is a local slang. It's not really an ironic usage though, more of just the opposite of the intended usage. Sort of like how "literally" has come to mean both "literal" and "figurative" over the years.
@@CriticalReactions Isn't irony exactly that? (Meaning the opposite)
