He’s performed in fog-filled rooms and made ageing churches rattle in his adopted hometown of Montréal. Tim Hecker's eight-album career has been about stepping into the dense smoke to find beauty and light. While his earlier work could be considered in the drone realm, 2016’s Love Streams, released on 4AD, finds him inching away from the submerging style he’s been known for these past 15 years with choral elements emerging from the static.
In his 2016 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Tim Hecker speaks about the importance of sensory relationships and physicality to the music, how his academic interests dovetail with his creativity and his current interest in the intricacies of tuning.

Quite possibly the most underappreciated artist of this century
swingy77 how so? Name other more known artists in his genre; I think he's known outside of the style of music he makes.
We probably don't know the most underappreciated artist! ;)
tim hecker is so dope, it's crazy when you find artist like him and you ask around, I want more that sounds like this, than you realize your not going to get it, and that is what makes art special and unique
I think it depends on what exactly the person seeking similar stuff is looking for. I feel like Belong and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (and many others) make ambient/experimental music with similar sensibilities. But I agree Tim Hecker is great. One of the best.
I think he's pretty highly appreciated but I also obsessively browse music related forums on the internet so what do I know
ye i suspect there is the largest amount of geniouses in this genre, and i know a couple that i would say are just as good and even less known
I was at the Montreal show.
He played after Venetian Snare's onslaught of 500 bpm drum n bass. Loudest thing I've ever heard. I couldn't feel my body. When Hecker played everyone was lying down. There was so much fog I could barely see my hand in front of me let alone all the bodies on the floor. People were damaged. There were paramedics going around making sure people were okay and not bleeding from their ears. His ethereal performance was the perfect contrast to Snare's earth shattering noise. It was the most unique experience I've ever had. It felt like purgatory. Not totally in sound, not totally in the physical realm. Thanks Tim.
That show sounds incredible
I'll never forget that night
Wait wtf. Really? That’s incredible!
Insane show indeed.Venetian Snares was the loudest thing ive heard.
@@thefxbip315 He is talking about Tim Hecker.
'It's confrontational, it shouldn't be for everybody.' I feel this is a very important point that creative people should take from this.
lmao the intro song is edited out but its unintentionally very comedic *plays 2 seconds* 'I think you get the point'
Unintentional TH-cam poop humor
@@dawsonhicks5929 YTP is OG Meme.
made me heh
lmao thats so seamless
i cant believe he is a real human
bean
"Making peace with yourself and hopefully everything else will come with that" Spoken like a true artist.
Tim Hecker is the Godspeed You! Black Emperor of electronic music.
that's what i'm thinking about
and both are from montreal! 😊
The interviewer has such a crush on Tim
ZeroPurrrcent who doesn't though.
notice by the half way point, he keeps moving closer and closer to tim on the couch
aint no secret lmao
I do too
Me too
"You can't really teach when to stop tinkering with things"
omg yes
this man has had such a profound influence on me
WORD
I have feelings for this man
i found the dissertation he did on sound power and i can't wait to read it! this has to be one of my favorite interviews ever, the way he speaks about the experience of music is infectious and inspiring. also before i die i would love to be in a room full of people who are into Tim Hecker. Loved what these people had to say in the questions section.
where did you get it??? the dissertation i mean
this entire interview is pure gold. amazing amount of valuable information and philosophy
Yes! I was intrigued and interested the entire time! Loved the audience questions as well.
this is what i live for i am going to watch this everyday this is going to consume my life this is the only reason i am alive today
how you doin
Quite possibly my favorite current artist. This is fantastic!
This video was fruitful.
lol
What an insanely captivating artist to have in this generation. Thank you so much Red Bull MA for giving Tim Hecker an outlet to inspire us all! Honestly didn't realize, in terms of production, how much were alike until now lol
Such an eloquent intelligent artist. Wow. Time to get into his music at last.
when you like Hecker's music its kinda hard to find anything similar, that gives equally decent vibe
William Basinski the only artist I can think of that scratches the same itch for me
ben frost? but yeah he’s super original in terms of sound.
Fennesz.
some of stars of the lid
Everyone is close but it's true that nobody else sounds like Tim Hecker.
This was such a great watch. Really appreciate artists who are humble like Tim
my man cut that collar like same day, i can see the threads crawling all over his neck
tim is incredible and this was real insightful thxx
TIM HECKER IS A FUCKING GENIUS HOLY FUCK
WEEABOO DESTROYER 666 is he good at math or something?
Concepts like Fog and Ether are very fitting descriptions. I've been listing to Tim Hecker for almost 20 years and I still struggle to find the right words to describe the power of his music, if you even want to call it music. I wanna say words like Soundscape, Dreamland etc, but those don't do it justice.
he's smart bro Tim Hecker is truly a real musician compared to most artist today.
this is greatness right there
Gotta say, I didn't expect Tim Hecker to be the kind of man who wears beanies.
So sad that the musical sections are removed; even the vocal sample original recordings not licensed to Kranky or 4AD
Fuck, I wanted to hear that choir
Hi Jared!
@blank same
Hey, I was suffering through bits of that Needledrop interview, wishing a decent interview with Tim Hecker existed, and here we are...
not sure exactly how expected him to sound talking irl but he somehow both subverted and met my expectations lol
Kranky's Ultraviolet was my first album to hear by Tim Hecker, then Radio amor became the favorite, just heard another one with sax, he has so much output
this is a great interview, I really don't understand all the hate toward Tim as well as the interviewer.. I think they both did an exceptional job here, had me floored the whole time!
Tim Hecker is deep. Manifests in his music.
Invite him again it’s been seven years 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
oh man i wasnt expecting to find this on youtube. one of my favourite artists. thank you
Such a great interview! Loved how free flowing it all was. Also the audience was so engaged as well. Loved getting to hear Tim’s perspective on his art. The empty dancing hollow husk quote was funny but also made sense! Love his music so getting this fulfilling in depth convo was great! His music really does envelop you in an abyss state, a fog that just consumes the senses.
Christopher nolan needs to find this man
Please
nice mullet tim
didnt know he'd opened for godspeed you black emperor and isis, thats so cool, big fan of all three
Really interesting, great to get some insight into his thought process and workflow.
Absolutely fascinating 🙌
This is awesome and very insightful
enlightening
I love this guy
Listened to this the whole way through. Some really interesting ideas, thanks for posting!
Great chat, thanks for the upload.
Tim Hecker Lecture. But every time he says "Like" it gets faster.
dude
Did he say 'like' during this interview? Can't say I noticed.
good one. I chuckled
The interviewer is James Liptons' son.
Hipster overload omg
21:31 c'mon, why would you cut that out?
The undisputed goat
Emma-Jean Thackray at 5:34!
No front to all the great students that were asking question but I’m kind of worried that 70% of questions have either had an political, religious or sociological undertone. I know Tim has engaged a lot in these questions and some of his studies could be identified as semi religious or whatever but I feel like he does all of this with a very strong focus on “what this could lead to while composing” not to confront these topics as is.
Thanks, Tim
😮 I’ve gotta watch it later 😮
first time I've heard any musician mention the concept of ouroboros:)
his friend/collaborator Daniel Lopatin, also known as Oneohtrix Point Never has a track named Ouroboros, it's a bit simpler than Hecker's work but great nonetheless!
I hate how they cut out the music parts.
I get that they want the video to be not incredibly long but still.
35:58 I love Tim
I just like the sound. Don't care about the concepts.
I kinda get that to an extent. It's interesting to hear a little bit of what's in Hecker's thoughts and intentions when making his stuff, but definitely feels like too much talking and too much intellectualizing it starts getting away from what's so amazing about it in the first place. For me, Hecker's music was something I kind of blindly stumbled across while in a TH-cam rabbit-hole of just clicking on stuff that was recommended to me, so I knew nothing about it beyond what I was hearing, and it was such a nice way to be initiated into his soundscapes, not having heard anything about him or knowing what to expect in any way at all.
It's funny, I was telling my brother about him the other day, and I was at a loss for words at how to describe his music in any meaningful way that would actually communicate how amazing it is. The stuff Hecker makes is too amazing and moving for words, really.
@@tuanjim799 very interesting sentiments.
Brilliant...would love to see Lustmord on here if he wasn't already.
Sean Savage I have a hard time finding interviews with him
The god himself. So sad I couldn't make it to RBMA this year.
is that Angel Deradoorian asking a question around 1:02:00?
yes
frederick gunther so cool tonhearnher speaking on 432 HZ!
Great tho I wanted to hear more about his work with Ben Frost.
51:50 what?? anyone have pictures of this?
someone finally bring this man a really fruitful fruit salad!
Up Red Bull Creek
I counted the word "like" 3421 times in this video.
N Clxmefozd wow. I'm very proud of you
Actually, is just 225
i'm not usually one to stereotype but this (fantastic) Canadian musician just ended a lecture by apologizing hahaha
Where can I found his dissertation?
just listened to ravedeath high and i felt ready to die
Does anyone know or have..where to get this book The Effects Of Noise On Man By Karl D. Kryter ?
limitation is good
What book about British fog is he talking about?
It makes me so happy to hear Angel Deradoorian speaking on 432 HZ!!!
where can I read what Tim writes?
when you click on the second track annotation it takes you to the first track instead !!

I liked his stuff better in the Charles in Charge days
👍
1:08:32
hECKER ftw
0:25 "switch topics here"
The nervousness and intense stuttering of the audience asking questions is extremely unsettling
This video has 1.1K 'likes' - pretty good going in less than 83 minutes.

daddy heck

Where is the music???
42:05 LMAO
Josiah P. Kagayaki!!!
Whats up with this interviewer's constant vocal fry?
This interviewer is brutal. Every time I've watched him interview someone it's just painful listening to him mumble, and watching him stare off into space. I'm sure he's not bored, but he certainly comes off that way.
I thought he had good questions for Tim.
He's just a low energy type personality, but he is undoubtably intrigued and invested in the interview. He is quite obviously an enormous fan of Tim too. I for one find it refreshing when an interviewer doesn't feel the pressure to perform a "TV personality" act and instead remain true to themselves.
Damn all this 432 hertz stuff is a little depressing. It’s been 6 years though, I’m guessing he’s moved on
Could you expand upon what you mean by this? I'm interested to hear why you feel that way.
great music, but good grief how many times does he and the host use the word "like" needlessly!?
Nerves I imagine, especially for Tim. Very eloquent speaker but he does seem a bit out of his element.
"Too bright and oppressive"? Is she really hearing that? Wow.
simonyricools yes she is, on a microtonal level
VOCAL FRY CRINGE FEST!
Sigor ros are bad
天照 psych.
Lol are you kidding me? How cold-hearted and evil do you have to be to think they're bad?
天照 i don't know how you could possibly know that
i didn't realize tim hecker was GAY
