Sound art, I here you say? Boooooring. It's all dudes sitting motionless behind laptops checking their email, yeah? Screw the nineties' laptop rock vibe; Kid A made sure that scene died in the arse. So, who's this Tim Hecker character then? Really, he rode the highs of 1996's 'experimental' craze, through the alt world's doom obsession of 2005 to stand, unscathed, as the fêted lord of ambient drone.
