Florian Hecker

Florian Hecker is a German artist who works with synthetic sound, the listening process, and the audience's auditory experience, producing work that investigates the psychoacoustic and phenomenological dimensions of electronic sound. Based in Munich and working internationally, he has become one of the most rigorous and philosophically grounded figures in contemporary sound art.

His practice is deeply informed by his collaborations with philosopher Quentin Meillassoux and with theorist Robin Mackay, and he has worked closely with Reza Negarestani on conceptually demanding text-sound works. His releases on Editions Mego and Presto!?
