What the label says:

WORDS
Recorded deep within the Norberg mineshafts of Norway, this 21 minute live piece summarises much of what makes Tim Hecker’s music so vital and
compelling.
Adept at counter-pointing the most ferocious of distorted platters with smooth beds of ambient sound and potent melodic overtones, Tim Hecker
creates music with a vast depth. On Norberg, this depth seems almost endless, as layer upon layer of sound are compiled into a swelling and all
together viscerale oceanic sound wave. Recently touring Australia and New Zealand and performing at ROOM40’s annual festival Open Frame, this
CD comes on the back of some incredible live performances in the Southern Hemisphere.
BIOGRAPHY
Tim Hecker is a Canadian-based musician and sound artist, born in Vancouver. Since 1996, he has produced a range of audio works for Mille
Plateaux, ROOM40, Kranky,
Alien8, 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 Radio Amor was recognized as a key recording of 2003 by The Wire magazine.
