Tim Hecker

About

Deep in the spaces between melody and noise, dissonance and song, Tim Hecker is drawing out sounds. The Canadian composer’s pursuit of sound from seemingly other realms is incomparable in the world of ambient music. His latest national tour confirms his place as a creator of sonic worlds that amplifies emotions and saturates the senses.

In the past two decades, Hecker has redefined the experimental music scene, vibrating the floorboards of Sydney Opera House and filling the industrial warehouse of Kraftwerk in Germany. Now, the man who popularised ambient music (he swears he didn’t mean to), brings his latest album to Adelaide Festival. Surrender to its sound.

Utilises haze and loud sound levels.

Supporting Tim Hecker will be TJIKK.

Tjikk is the solo project of Margie Jean Lewis, a queer multidisciplinary artist from Tarntanya/Adelaide whose work moves fluidly between music, botanical sculpture, film and theatre. After more than a decade immersed in Dublin’s music scene, and years as a florist and botanical artist, her sound is shaped by the damp, folkloric grain of the Irish underground and the tiny, intricate worlds of nature she works within. Layered vocals, manipulated strings and bio-textures meet electronics as Tjikk sculpts etherscapes that bridge the ancient and the futuristic.
