The Hectet

The Hectet is the melodious jazz project of Hector McLachlan: a pianist, composer and producer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, New Zealand. His creative practice is rooted in deep listening and historical materialism, informing a varied and multi-disciplinary output. Hector’s compositions use heraldic melodies, and blend acoustic and electronic elements, to conjure forces of history and emotion.
