about

Church of Hed is the solo project of the American spacerock band Quarkspace’s drummer, synthesist, and producer, Paul Williams. With Quarkspace seemingly in retirement or hiatus, Church of Hed becomes Williams’s main focus. The music involves aural travelogues, inspired by progressive and space rock and Berlin School electronica. Paul plays drums, keyboards, and synthesizers; he composes songs, beats, and loops, and he (thankfully) rarely sings.

Electric Sepulcher, Church of Hed’s third album, features the kinetic electronica for which the band is known, combining loops and beats with organic playing, writing, and improvisation. Paul plays everything on the album, from electronic percussion to analog synthesizers. The album is dedicated to the memory of the recently passed music legends, Daevid Allen, Edgar Froese, Dieter Moebius, and Chris Squire.

Review Excerpts

"If you miss the old days when electronic music was progressive and innovative, and not just a brain-dead wallpaper of 4/4 dance beats, then Electric Sepulcher is definitely worthy of exploration." -- Peter Thelen, Expose

"The album is a luscious instrumental journey that consists of quirky spaced out electronica, Space-Prog symphonics, sci-fi soundtrack and electro grooves. Paul excels at seamlessly blending disparate styles and influences, and the thematic development throughout the set is among his best yet." -- Jerry Kranitz, Aural Innovations
