Tim Hecker is an electronic musician and sound artist based in Los Angeles, United States and Montreal, Canada. He has gained international recognition for his unique recordings released under his own name. With a background in government work, Hecker's music showcases his innovative approach to electronic soundscapes.

Originally recording under the moniker Jetone, Tim Hecker has since established himself as a prominent figure in the electronic music scene. His atmospheric compositions blend elements of ambient, drone, and experimental genres to create immersive sonic experiences.

With a career spanning over two decades, Tim Hecker continues to push boundaries with his captivating soundscapes. His ability to manipulate and transform sounds into emotive narratives sets him apart as a visionary artist in the realm of electronic music.

“The score for The North Water was written just before and during the pandemic in 2020, mostly over arguably one of the darkest winters of some memory in Montreal,” says Hecker. “The music was an attempt to add depth and texture to a five-hour doomed arctic journey that charts a trajectory from hardened optimism into abject futility. We worked with a primary palette of synthesizers, electronics, and treated cello, in rich live spaces as well as suffocating dead ones. This version of the score is an enhanced mix of some of the material that made its way into the project.”

Adapted from a novel of the same name – The North Water by Ian McGuire – it tells the story of a disgraced doctor who becomes a medic onboard an Arctic whaling ship.
