Rating: He appears on stage, shy and silent, and wastes no time on pleasantries except for a slight bow to the audience. With a gesture, the hall is enveloped in darkness. The magic can begin.
It's difficult to describe a Tim Hecker performance in words; every word loses its meaning or fails to do justice to what it aims to describe. Hecker is nature. Hecker is industry. Hecker is sacredness. The green and gray that come together in a spiritual and at times romantic way. The listener is projected into an intense whirlwind of disharmonic and deconstructed sounds, a wall against which they will repeatedly hit their face, never violently, almost gently, only to find relief through clear and floating synthesizer notes. Notes that will once again give way to noise, distortions, and confusion. Tim creates, Tim destroys. A cold, icy atmosphere touches and paradoxically warms the listener's soul, guiding them on an imaginative sound journey, permeated by an absolute sense of freedom and infinity.
The show, which lasted about an hour, was entirely based on the new album "Virgins", performed in its entirety. At the end of the performance, the audience remains dazed, both by the experience itself and by the decibels beyond the safety level, so much so that few can hear Tim's farewell words. A burst of applause, and the dream ends.
