Thinking Quotes by Tim Hecker

I did dance music for a short period of time but I felt like the fruit for me was in the outer dance world so I stopped doing overt techno and I think, in terms of rhythm, I enjoy things that feel like they’re falling off, like they’re just barely holding on.

I don’t feel like music is getting more intense; I think generally the channel for deeper harmonic saturation is not just a sine wave – but a really crunched sine wave. The trend in music is towards a harmonic saturation. I wouldn’t say I’m reacting against that. It’s just a personal choice to move into some weird space. This also allows me breathing room in the future. It just felt like the right thing to step back on.

I really support criticism as a craft and as a vocation. People who devote as much time to thinking about sound through writing as I do practicing and forming it, the whole system of journalism seems to not yield rewards sustainable as a craft. So few can spend enough time to be serious about it and approach it with confidence and a kind of depth. And that’s good on one level, because you have some leveling, that’s kind of maybe leveled the petty fiefdoms of undeserving people but it’s also made it hard to make a living as a writer.

If I was completely satisfied with an album, I’d probably give it up, because that’d mean I had attained some kind of state that was greater than I’d ever hope, so I think I’d just give it up. But I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Sometimes it’s a fraught, kind of laden world of performance that I think can be really dubious, but it’s also super fun to almost desecrate an instrument that for 500 years has been associated with God.

You start to think, when you’re finishing a record, in twelve- to fourteen-minute chunks. At a certain point, you do write to the format. It’s not a coincidence that most albums are between thirty-five and fifty minutes. It’s kind of like the 98-minute film. It becomes some paradigm for human attention in the media.
