Escuchar un paisaje en transformación 🔊
Wastelands de Tim Hecker llega al MUAC como una experiencia sonora que representa el cauce natural de más de 25 años de carrera y, al mismo tiempo, un giro estilístico en su obra.
A su característico lenguaje entre el ambient y el ruido se suman grabaciones de campo de ecosistemas intervenidos: de desiertos a humedales, paisajes afectados por procesos humanos que transforman el sonido con resultados tan melancólicos como inquietantes.

Announcing BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC at Topanga Tower
Part of LA Phil’s Ritual festival, curated by Esa-Pekka Salonen
Coproduced by LA Phil Insight, Liquid Music, and Studio Dimitri Chamblas
A pilgrimage. A progression.
BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC transforms the decommissioned Topanga Tower into a living instrument, invoking sound and movement as part of a communal artistic rite. Conceived and directed by creative partners Kate Nordstrum and Dimitri Chamblas, the experience unfolds across terrain and architecture, guiding audiences from daylight into dusk in a deliberate progression of gathering, activation, and release.
From city to sea, body to horizon, gesture to vibration, BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC at Topanga Tower offers an intensifying arc of visceral perception.
Spring 2027 performances. Program details to be announced in August.

BODY LIVE LIVE MUSIC is a new joint practice of choreographer/director/producer Dimitri Chamblas (Paris Opera, CalArts, Studio Dimitri Chamblas) and curator/artistic director/producer Kate Nordstrum (Liquid Music, Boston Symphony Orchestra). Dedicated to site-inspired performance projects, this ongoing venture melds music, movement, and environment into communal art experiences of the highest caliber. Together, Chamblas and Nordstrum focus on artistic and natural landscapes that center body and sound with a commitment to ‘shared reality.’
Who was there for Tim Hecker & Vincent de Belleval’s performance at Rewire 2023?
This world premiere brought together the otherworldly music of Hecker – melding noise, dissonance, and melody in physical and emotive ways – with a large custom-made LED installation by multidisciplinary artist Vincent de Belleval. @sunblindstudios and de Belleval explored different ways to "break up the grid" and find new possible interactions between light and sound, and colour and texture through a combination of immense sounds and sights.
Look back at the performance through this video captured by @_nielsjohn .
Next up in the 3Qs series is musician, producer, composer, and sound artist, Tim Hecker (@sunblindstudios ).
Hecker has released numerous EPs and albums in addition to composing a number of film scores and collaborating with artists like Arca, Ben Frost, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Daniel Lopatin, and Aidan Baker.
His latest, Shards, via @krankyltd is a collection of pieces originally written for various film and TV soundtracks he has scored over the last half decade, including Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool, The North Water on BBC 2, Peter Brunner’s Luzifer, and Guillaume Nicloux’s La Tour.

Rest in peace Jonathan Sterne. Jonathan was a brilliant, funny, generous and very loving person. He was my main supervisor over the almost 8 years it took to finish my dissertation. He went far beyond anything that one would expect from a mentor role. He would often co-author articles with students to give them some help. He was there for students well after graduation. He loved cats and was a music gear nerd. Our shared awe of loud sound and audiophile blasphemy brought us together - grateful for this time on the earth.
