This music really might have changed my life. Thanks.

This came out in 1972?

[AndJumped]

@Jakeshark it came out this year. the name of the album is "Ravedeath, 1972"

[Jakeshark]

@AndJumped Just figured that out. Thanks.

[LuxeXx]

@Jakeshark no, but I don't know whats up with these dates in the titles...

[kida78968789]

@LuxeXx There is a tradition at MIT where students will drop a piano off a roof, and the first piano drop occured in 1972 (the picture on the cover of the album is actually a photo of the 1972 piano drop), so I assume that is why Tim Hecker chose that date. However, I am not quite sure what the dates 1978 or 1980 refer to.

This music is available in all good MRI scanners free of charge. SUBLIME!.

Check out an article by Jonathan Kramer called 'New Temporalities in Music' (particularly the section in the second half that relates to 'vertical music' i.e. static). Its basically about how contemporary music, such as Tim Hecker, distorts our awareness of time in various ways. Really interesting and it gives an insight as to why this music is so appealing.!

[Dsenuik]

@flamboyantshizzlema anyway I can read that without paying the 14 dollar fee?

[shotdonkey]

@flamboyantshizzlema

"new temporalities in music"? that`s interesting, but basically intellectual wankery. there was nothing in the best works by reich, young, riley et al that did not "distort one`s awareness of time in various ways"!

must be the reason why, even though said music was made all those mayn years ago, it feels like yesterday. ;-)

[GothicCountryFan]

This is what I would be listening to if I was walking through an abandoned city.

[chaosinorderrr]

damn this sounds so interesting. ive never been into ambience but i'll surely check this album out!

[Mhorg]

love this soft sounds

[machinevsfascist]

Yeah, Insound is cool and all that, but ya know, you could order directly from Kranky records online shop at kranky.net. Cut down that midpoint between you and the artist... and the label. Just a suggestion.

[exquisiteoath]

a 12:59 where those two isolated piano notes sound, that's just incredible.

[quehijosdemilputas]

Escuchen, mortales.

[4obla]

makes me percieve the world .

[emist123]

Opens my third eye

[jakeupstudios]

WHAT IS THIS INSTRUMENT

it sounds just like the synth in Stone in focus and Hedphleym

[evanisgay11]

@jakeupstudios All of it was done with an Pipe organ, i believe.

[bethswolf]

this is echoing through my bones

[muppetshowman1972]

[dorgasvideos]

Beautiful, i,m dreaming while awake

[jobrini7]

woooooow...unknown masterpiece 

[konradazrael]

Monstrous.

[lieinmygrave]

I listened to this the other day when it was raining...stunning. I don't know why it took me so long to appreciate Tim Hecker.

[kamiell]

Nice drones

[TheUkiDuki]

[bohemiandonut]

At 5:00 it really picks up

[bohemiandonut]

Awesome.

[burnindownthehouse]

Thank you very much for uploading this. That was a very nice act.

[joemunkey30]

Im sure i heard my nan humming this track in the shower

[kilpauk]

possible mankind's most unrecognised genius ever..

[ybrik222]

@kilpauk

Hardly; he's pretty recognized in comparison to some.

[redcommando1]

I feel really sorry for the people with closed off minds! they will never know how truly beautiful Tims work is.

[dj]

Love it. This guy NEEDS to lay down a soundtrack to a Lynch movie.

[Number1Zero]

@dj I didn't specifically think about a single director. But I definitely agree, Hecker to compose a movie score would be amazing. Really show some people something they never heard before potentially.

[y3k23k]

@dj how the fuck did u get that account name thats amazing

@dj If we're going to play that game, I'd choose Duncan Jones or Christopher Nolan His aesthetic fits the Kubrick mold.

[Number1Zero]

Great upload - great quality and thanks for putting all three together. Could you put something at (4:52) and (10:53) to mark II and III?

[idumea25]

@Number1Zero Done, thanks.

[Number1Zero]

@idumea25 nice, thanks!

[t4exanadu]
