Crossing the Horizon: Harry Haecker

Harry was one of my favorite folks from EMUSIC-L; enthusiastic, experimental, and always ready to try something new. An idle Google turned up his music page with several pieces available there.I wish MP3′s had been available while EMUSIC-L was running; Harry’s got some fine stuff here. Everything from “Yolobro” (think Kronos Quartet plus Jack de Johnette and tasty plucked bass) through Enoesque ambience (“Taking Time to Make Love“) to mysterious swamp music (partly actually recorded in a swamp, from my recollection – “Spring Night“). Lots more. Recommended.

    Hey. I have recently been thinking of Harry. I choreographed Spring Night to music that he composed for me. Yup it was partly done in a swamp because I wanted authentic noises from swamp critters…especially ‘gators. The creative energy was very high during the creation of this work. Never before have I trusted the Muse so much, allowing the work to unfold rather than try to force or wrangle it out. It turned out really fine.
