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.

"Harmony is, paradoxically, Hecker's most dramatic and most oceanic record. The former implies twists, arc, and carefully planned change intended to evoke specific effects; the latter suggests stasis, immersion, and a state of dreamy contemplation. Harmony manages to be both these things by surprising as it mesmerizes, with Hecker reigning in or tempering any jarring effects just enough to keep the self-obliterating sense of endless drone intact. One key is that the tension never really dissipates, varying only in degree and quality. The opening "Rainbow Blood" sets the scene with a screeching and trebly drone, like an orchestra tuning up in the darkened theater where Rebecca del Rio performed in Mulholland Drive, and for the next 48 minutes, Harmony keeps the pulse elevated."
