Anoyo

Anoyo, the latest LP from Tim Hecker, will come as a welcome surprise to anyone who enjoyed the sound artist’s 2018 album Konoyo. As is hinted at by the similar titles, Anoyo (translation; “The World Over There”) is a companion piece to Konoyo (translation; “This World”)
These tracks here were born out of the same sessions, and as was the case with the preceding record we find Hecker drawing on the Japanese court music style gagaku here. Furthemore, the gagaku ensemble Tokyo Gakuso play just as big of a part this time around as they did on Konoyo
