American trumpeter, composer and author Jon Hassell was born on March 22, 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee. He passed away on June 26, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. Known as the creator of Fourth World music, a unique blend of ancient and digital sounds from both Eastern and Western traditions. After studying composition and earning degrees in the USA, he traveled to Europe to study electronic and serial music with Karlheinz Stockhausen. Back in New York, he collaborated with minimalist masters La Monte Young and Terry Riley before meeting Hindustani raga master Pandit Pran Nath. This encounter inspired him to develop a new trumpet sound and style.

Jon Hassell's Listening To Pictures (Pentimento Volume One). Available here on 140 Gram LP and Standard CD.

First new album in nine years by a musical visionary and hugely influential figure in new music. Forty years since its creation, Jon Hassell's Fourth World aesthetic remains a powerful influence on modern electronic music. Continuing his lifelong exploration of the possibilities of recombination and musical gene-splicing, fragments of performance are sampled, looped, overdubbed and re-arranged into beguiling unexpected shapes. Hassell applies the painterly technique of ‘pentimento’ to the arrangements, teasing out texture by the overlaying of sound upon sound, or a carefully timed reveal of the delicate bones pinning the frame of a track together.
