Anoyo

"While Hecker continues to be a paradigm in formulating how sound exists, he proves with Anoyo what it means to extend his means and throughout its cleansing spirit, Hecker evokes a bewitching status, serving as one of today's continued and top creators of elysian odysseys".

"Anoyo delves into a different side of the worlds established on Tim Hecker's Konoyo, taking its time with a murkier, nuanced journey into the most distant recesses of its creator's mind. It is, quite simply, astonishing".

"The follow-up to last year's Konoyo-recorded, like its predecessor, with a Japanese gagaku ensemble-functions as a counterbalance to that album: a kind of photo negative, more subdued but no less overwhelming ... On the six tracks and 35 minutes that make up Anoyo there is no purpose but to explore the shadows in which Hecker and his collaborators have blanketed themselves. Because they know what those life hackers do not: If you're going to reach for the sublime, it's going to take some work.".
