Sketch 5

Tim Hecker 'Sketch 5' by kranky

Earlier this year, Tim Hecker released the jaw-dropping Ravedeath, 1972. Yesterday, he announced, via twitter, that on October 10th he will be releasing a set of piano-based sketches recorded prior to the release of Ravedeath, 1972 entitled Dropped Pianos. "Sketch 5" is the first of said recordings to make it's way onto the internet and it has me counting down to 10/10. Hecker's ominous and atmospheric soundscapes are always emotionally stirring and I'm excited to hear the minimalistic turn he takes with these recordings. Just a couple weeks after this release, I will have the privilege of seeing Mr. Hecker perform at Moogfest. You can look forward to a set review here at OnRepeat.
