Tim Hecker’s latest work approaches a form of secular musical transcendentalism from within the battered temple of spirituality. Recorded in a church in Reykjavik, Iceland and using a pipe organ as the primary sound source, this new piece is essentially a live recording. In reality, it exists in a nether world between captured live performance and meticulous studio work, melding the two approaches to sonic artifice as a unity. It is in parts a document of air circulating within a wooden room, and also a pagan work of physical resonance within a space once reserved for the hallowed breath of the divine.

Ravedeath, 1972 è probabilmente un capolavoro. Devo ancora capire se è solo bellissimo o anche un storicamente un traguardo della musica ambient. Intanto sto zitto, ascolto e godo.
