I love vinyl, but I'm not a 'vinyl person'. I still collect, but most of my stuff is digital.
Tim HeckerI'm not a peak oil person. I'm not a biohazard apocalyptic kind of freak. I don't have a supply of weapons or gold bars under my house.
Tim HeckerI did dance music for a short period of time but I felt like the fruit for me was in the outer dance world so I stopped doing overt techno and I think, in terms of rhythm, I enjoy things that feel like they're falling off, like they're just barely holding on.
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 HeckerYou start to think, when you're finishing a record, in twelve- to fourteen-minute chunks. At a certain point, you do write to the format. It's not a coincidence that most albums are between thirty-five and fifty minutes. It's kind of like the 98-minute film. It becomes some paradigm for human attention in the media.
