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.

While the title of the piece "Hatred of Music" might be a
clue, the album is also partly an attempt to confront a
pervasive negativity surrounding music. Historical rituals
of destroying pianos, mountains of pirated CDRs pushed by
bulldozers in Eastern Europe, or the melancholy of the
digital music era began as sideline motifs which quickly
informed the work on this record. They also really didn't at
all.

Despite that the context is wide open in such a form of
musical abstraction, the substance of these immersive
compositions showcases Hecker's continued mastery of
organizing sound into a visceral near entity. It is an
almost physical presence that the listener feels as much as
hears. This work is a significant contribution to Hecker's
oeuvre, one which spans over ten years of musical
production. Ravedeath is an enigmatic document of beauty and
force.

The album was recorded mostly over the period of one day in
July of 2010. Iceland-based musician Ben Frost assisted with
the engineering and performs on this recording.
