Tim Hecker ~ Anoyo
Anoyo, which means “the world over there,” is the counterpart to last year’s glorious Konoyo, or “the world over here.” While the two are certainly closely related, both built around the prominent contributions of members of Tokyo Gakuso, it would be reductive to see Anoyo as merely a third disc of Konoyo.
