Bleep

Canadian sound designer Tim Hecker returns to the Kranky label for a new compilation of film and TV scoring entitled Shards. The aggressive yet tranquillizing sound of Hecker’s solo electronic music always carried a sort of cinematic quality, as if his synth loops, field recordings, and digital noise were always reaching beyond the horizon. So it comes as no surprise that the big (and silver) screens would come calling eventually. Captured from sound work on projects like Infinity Pool (2023), and the 2021 miniseries The North Water, these tracks mesh well with his recent No Highs LP, while also applying his well-loved aesthetic in more functional ways.
