Tim Hecker
is a
Canadian-based musician
and
sound artist
, born in Vancouver. Since 1996, he has produced a range of
audio works
for Mille Plateaux, Alien8, Force Inc, and Staalplaat. His works have been described as
"structured ambient"
,
"tectonic color plates"
and
"cathedral electronic music"
. More to the point, he has focused on
exploring the intersection of noise
,
dissonance
and
melody
, fostering an approach to songcraft which is both
physical and emotive
. His work has also included commissions for
contemporary dance
,
sound-art installations
, and
various writings
. He is also an acclaimed producer of
techno
, having toured and produced under the name
Jetone
.
Imre Kiss
is a fledgling Hungarian producer. He is part of the
burgeoning Budapest dance/electronic scene
, underpinned by the
Farbwechsel
label. Imre's original pieces
scope out a lot of ground between the cinematic reverie
of opener 'Accept The Light' and the 1991-like Scando-trance emotions of 'Shadow Game', veering wilfully into smudged
coldwave rhythms
on 'Gray's Legend' to the
MDMA-crystal refractions
of 'Adrift', thru the
pulsing lushness
of 'Somorja' and the
Chuck Person-styled emo
screw jam 'Stolen Moments'.
