We are honoured to present two Tim Hecker shows taking place on Saturday 19th May in Pilrig St Paul's Church in Edinburgh and Sunday 20th May in St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow. His first shows on Scottish soil since 2002 (his one and only previous show was in Glasgow).

Hecker's most recent release 'Ravedeath, 1972' was recorded in an Icelandic church with the help of Ben Frost who both engineered and performed on it. It is also one of, if not our favourite album of last year and we're not the only folk who think so; it appeared on many best albums of 2011 lists including The Wire, Uncut, FACT Magazine and The Quietus.

Since 1996, Hecker has produced a range of audio works for Kranky, Alien8, Mille Plateaux, Room40, Force Inc, Staalplaat, and Fat Cat. 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. The New York Times has described his work as "foreboding, abstract pieces in which static and sub-bass rumbles open up around slow moving notes and chords, like fissures in the earth waiting to swallow them whole". His Harmony in Ultraviolet received critical acclaim, including being recognized by Pitchfork as a top recording of 2006. Radio Amor was also recognized as a key recording of 2003 by Wire magazine. His work has also included commissions for contemporary dance, sound-art installations, as well as various writings.

Both shows will be presented in 5.1 Surround Sound.
