Artist: Tim Hecker

Drone, as a genre, is one only rarely associated with such salubrious surrounds as those of the Southbank Centre. Of course its dingy tendencies and industrial undertones ensure it's not entirely incongruous with the gently brutalist cement work smothered about the innards of this iconic construction, although the two don't quite make for an immediately logical fit. And as such, in what for me became an increasingly impatient wait to witness the live collaboration between two of its most eminent modern-day practitioners in Daniel Lopatin (perhaps best recognised under the guise of inscrutable Brooklyn phantom, Oneohtrix Point Never) + Montréal [...]

Thinking about festival locations or stages of musical performances one of the last things that come to mind is a church. In this respect one of the few exceptions is the Passionskirche in Berlin that was the venue of the second day of the DENOVALI SWINGFEST Berlin 2013. It was the first time this experimental The post Denovali Swingfest Berlin 2013 - A Look Back appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

I didn't shoot the show but it was amazing to experience their music!! I wasn't expecting on going to this concert on March 29th. But thanks to a friend who had connections, I got to see Sigur Rós play at Ottawa's Scotiabank Place . The last time the band played in Ottawa was 2005 at Bronson Centre. That was a show you couldn't miss back then. Now jump ahead to 2013 with six albums under their belt and a seventh album going to drop on June 13th. The [...]

Forgive me. My words to describe whatever the hell Clipping is comes directly from fellow 405 writer Wil Cook in his article about the other-wordly Los Angeles rap group. " Clipping seem to be the logical progression from the Dalek, Death Grips and Shabazz Palaces' stream of consciousness. Two guys making rhythmical Tim Hecker style noise made into perfect swelling waves of cerebral hip hop." In [...]

[author-name] Uma boa ideia, um resultado ainda melhor. Não é caso raro nem inédito: dois artistas juntam os trapinhos para construir um disco de raiz e acabam por se anular um ao outro. Os riscos de tal catástrofe são maiores ainda quando o trabalho de ambos atingiu até àquela data uma certa identidade e maturidade, quando já é conhecida a sua genética e o seu modus operandi . Felizmente tal não é o caso de Instrumental Tourist . [...]

Despite David Byrne and St. Vincent gracing the decommissioned altar of the Church of St. John the Baptist, despite Win Butler and the Strokes’ Nik Fraiture running a charity basketball game in McGill’s shoebox-sized gym, despite even a homecoming set by Grimes, the most-hyped performance at Pop Montreal this September was the premiere of new work [...]

In 1959, Ornette Coleman released The Shape of Jazz To Come, a record with content almost as audacious as its title. Forty-seven years later, Coleman at least partially fulfilled his own challenge with the fearless and fertile Sound Grammar . But even that 2006 effort might not have crossed jazz boundaries as much as one from this year: Karriem Riggins's Alone/Together. Read More...

Backers: 2 $80.00 Pledged of $500 Goal 5 Days to go Okay, that's a bit better. We've gotten two donations so far, which is two more than I expected when I first posted this little pledge drive. And today's was for $75, which means at least one person gets to make up a challenge I [...]

• Tim Hecker - Celestina

It’s a curious prospect, the musical marraige of perhaps the two most visible heads of a genre, but such is the state of ambient music in 2012, and with a notable exception in perhaps the continued presence of the Godfather of the genre, Brian Eno, Daniel Lopatin and Tim Hecker have become it . That’s not to say that these dudes haven’t put in the work. Lopatin’s output under his Oneohtrix Point Never moniker has run the gamut from noisy endurance tests to vintage synth space explorations to sliced vocal microsampling all the while staying largely within genre [...]

Let me start by making a confession: though I’ve loved Suuns ever since I heard them first around two years ago, I’d hardly heard of any of the bands on their curated line up for this year’s Sonic City . At first I planned on checking out each and every band thoroughly, but in the end I listened to the mixtape (put together by De Kreun ) only a couple times. At which point I took the executive decision to make it a festival of genuine discovery. I figured that, if I loved Suuns [...]

Great soundtrack for riding on a train but nothing you can dance to. Mexican Summer / Software, 2012 6.0 / 10.0 Daniel Lopatin 's last couple of albums as Oneohtrix Point Never have become increasingly more conceptual and atmospheric, steering away from traditional structures (and actual rhythm) [...]

On this new collaborative effort from Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin, the two artists combine their respective approaches to ambient and experimental music in a way even the most casual fans can predict. That's not a bad thing, though. Where this album falls short is in writing and execution, because a lot of these seemingly improvised pieces lack the direction and presence of the solo material each of these guys have released. WATCH THE REVIEW

If you're not the sort to more or less reside in the archives of the Quietus, nor rejoice in the glorious secular monstrosities of Demdike Stare, Fennesz, et al. then this ungodly drone matrimony between Tim Hecker & Daniel Lopatin (or Oneohtrix Point Never to those less well versed – myself included) might sound all too atonal and out there . Otherwise, consider this an exultant amble down the eternal aisles of atheism, soundtracked by devastating squalls charted somewhere or other between disquietude and a more general discordance. Hecker was [...]

Announcements that Daniel Lopatin and Tim Hecker were preparing a collaborative album had the Resident Advisor- faithful buzzing and  Watch the Drone zingers abounding, and for good reason. As Oneohtrix Point Never , Lopatin joins undulating synths and an innovative form of plunderphonics – early recordings consisted of miscellaneous sounds and loops that Lopatin excavated from YouTube while bored at a 9-to-5 – to form some of the most powerful, and most unnerving, electronic music of the past few years. Hecker, meanwhile, has taken a much less intricate approach – his sound is [...]

Here's a track from a collaboration dropping on Nov. 20th via Software that has me pretty psyched. Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin are really at the top of their respective games right now when it comes to experimental and ambient music, and to hear the both of them collaborate so effectively at this point in their careers is seriously a treat. "Instrusions" an enthralling soundscape of damaged, stuttering pieces of noise fused with glossy synths. It's like listening to a lost transmission from another galaxy or dimension.

Mogwai have history when it comes to putting their work into the hands of remixers, with 19982s Kicking a Dead Pig showing that their style, anthemic guitars, drifting sounds and vocals can act as the perfect foundations for electronic tracks. Now the trick has been repeated with their superb Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will , deconstructed and fluidly recreated as an accomplished mix album. Well, for the most part. Helmed by Tim Hecker and Zombi, the post-rock originals are effortlessly converted into instant electronic hits, seeped in their instrumental roots. Contrasting with [...]

Things are about to get epic in electronic music. On November 20th, the Software Recording Co will release Instrumental Tourist, a new collaborative effort between producers Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin. The duo have released "Intrusions" from the album, and if it sounds a little scattered and even improvisational, there's a [...]
