It began in 1982 as a high school friendship; in the ensuing years it became a working musical partnership. In 2013, after a 9 year layoff, it became Hector: initially a four piece rock group; now, an experimental alt-rock recording duo.

The ambition and intent of Hector is purely artistic and the Hector aesthetic is strictly do it yourself. There is no delusional ambition to become world beating chart toppers, nor are there pie in the sky ambitions of mass appeal. Hector's output is the direct result of no frills recording and an uncompromising approach to songwriting. There are buzzes, pops, crackles, occasional variances in tempo, meandering vocals and intrusive samples. Hector is proud to present themselves as a purely human endeavor; what you hear is a document of a place in time. First takes are commonplace and post production is a direct procedure. 

The end result is a humble testament to imagination, whimsy, individualism, and, perhaps most importantly, freedom. Freedom from the pressures and frustrations of dealing with deadlines, agents, executives, venue owners and producers. Art rises to the surface unimpeded in a stress free environment. Hector's music is a fond embrace of the spirit of this freedom.
