TIM HECKER – LOVE STREAMS
2016-01-11Tim Hecker’s forthcoming album, Love Streams, is released on April 8th 2016. His debut record for 4AD, the notorious electronic composer today releases the first taste from the album, a track entitled ‘Castrati Stack’.
Inspired by notions of 15th century choral scores transposed to an artificial intelligence-era language of digital resonance and bright synths, Love Streams was assembled gradually, with layers of studio-tracked keyboards, choir and woodwinds being woven into the mix, then molded and disfigured through complex programming. ‘Castrati Stack’ continues to showcase Hecker’s remarkable ability to find balance between the raucous dissonance and a meditative lament that has long marked his works.
Accompanying the release of the track comes a video from Brett Stabler
