Listening To Pictures: Pentimento Volume One [LP]

Jon Hassell – Listening To Pictures: Pentimento Volume One [LP]

Listening To Pictures: Pentimento Volume One explores Jon Hassell’s layered approach to studio composition. Continuing his lifelong exploration of the possibilities of the studio, 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 careful overlaying of sound, or a carefully timed reveal of the delicate bones pinning the frame of a track together. Smeared, gauzy, gorgeous atmospherics to perfectly soundtrack a vertical listening experience

Genre: Ambient, Experimental Electronic, Jazz.
