HASSELL JON - VINYL LISTENING TO PICTURES (PENTIMENTO VOLUME ONE) [VINYL]

Popis - LISTENING TO PICTURES (PENTIMENTO VOLUME ONE) [VINYL]:
'PENTIMENTO VOLUME ONE' - First new album since 2009 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.
