Tim Hecker – Anoyo

Last year’s 'Konoyo' found electronic producer composer Tim Hecker continuing his musical exploration by using the traditional Japanese court music of Gagaku as source material for his electronic embellishments and expansions.

His follow up release, 'Anoyo', is drawn from more recordings with the Japanese ensemble, Tokyo Gakuso, and functions as a companion piece. If Konoyo felt sparse compared to Hecker’s usual output, its companion piece is even more stripped-down, arguably the closest that Hecker has ever come to traditional ambient..and, like Konoyo's track titles, when read in sequence they form an enigmatic haiku-like poem.

Tracklist:
A1 That World
A2 Is But A Simulated Blur
A3 Step Away From Konoyo
B1 Into The Void
B2 Not Alone
B3 You Never Were
