I'm not an anti-online person. I get what the modern world's about and I understand that that's the nature of music dissemination.
Tim HeckerOnce you have MIDI information - I mean, it's a bit technical - that's your paint. You can slow down, pitch up, change notes within a different key. That's the foundation in which you can write things.
Tim HeckerYou have to make rough decisions with sequencing and work within the limitations of having good audio for 15 minutes on a vinyl side.
Tim HeckerI definitely enjoy liturgical work and choral work from the 15th century and 16th century, but I play in churches with a bit of trepidation, and it's not something I enjoy because there are all these problems. It's an implication that you're part of the theological apparatus, like for atheists or something, and I don't like that. I like playing with the form, inhabiting the tropes of religious music without that promise of angels at the end. It can be awkward, you know?
