Metisse Music <Music Publishing in Paris, France> - Jon Hassell (712 words)
Hassell integrated his Kirana style trumpet with electronic effects and with subtly shifting synthesizer drones similar to those of Solid State, adding the sounds of ocean and birds and simple, evocative rhythm tracks.
Jon Hassell tours with his own ensemble, and he often works with musicians from other musical cultures, such as his 1987 collaboration in concert (for "Serious Fun" at Lincoln Center) with Farafina, the eight member group of percussionists, singers and dancers from Burkina Faso in Africa.
Hassell has intended the album as a tribute to the "musical exotica" he heard as a child "on the radio or in movie scores," and his statement unlocks many doors to his music.
