Florian Hecker, born in 1975 in Augsburg and currently based in Vienna, is a renowned artist in the field of computer music. Since 1996, he has been actively involved in creating innovative soundscapes both independently and through collaborations with other esteemed artists such as Farmers Manual, Russell Haswell, Shunichiro Okada, Peter Rehberg, Marcus Schmickler, and Yasunao Tone.

Hecker's unique approach to music production has garnered him a dedicated following. His experimental compositions push the boundaries of traditional electronic music by incorporating elements of noise and glitch aesthetics. With his mesmerizing sonic creations, Hecker transports listeners into uncharted territories of auditory exploration.

Influenced by pioneers like Luc Ferrari and Iannis Xenakis, Hecker's work stands out for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to evoke emotional responses through abstract sound structures. His compositions have been described as immersive experiences that challenge conventional notions of musicality.

The latest work from Florian Hecker A Script for Machine Synthesis is an experimental auditory drama and a model of abstraction. A Script for Machine Synthesis presents a complex simplicity that spirals in an unending manner as an audio image of the uncanny valley. It is the third chapter in the trilogy of text-sound pieces Hecker has collaborated with the philosopher Reza Negarestani. A resynthesized voice outlines procedure as procedure itself unfolds. The suggestive encounter with a pink ice cube is a conceptual point of departure for a scene in which linguistic chimeras of descriptors are materialized through synthetic trophies, mental props and auditory objects. Hecker presents a synthesis of the gap in the valley which we almost know. The motifs Hecker has staged in the last decade, the text, the sound, the scent, the obelisk, the demon, the self, the other all appear throughout in a thorough, rigid and formal exploration. Exeunt all human actors, A Script for Machine Synthesis is an experiment in putting synthetic emptiness back into synthetic thought.
