First track from the new Jon Hassell album 'Listening To Pictures (Pentimento Volume One)' - Out now:
http://smarturl.it/listeningtopictures

pen·ti·men·to / noun
Reappearance in a painting of earlier images, forms, or strokes that have been changed and painted over.

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.

The release of this new album also sees the launch of Jon’s own label, Ndeya (pronounced “in-day-ya”), which will be a home for new work as well as well as selected archival releases, including re-presses of classic sides and some astonishing unreleased music.

OUR 3RD INSTALLMENT OF IN THE MIX COMES ALL THE WAY FROM BRUSSELS, BELGIUM; THE PIONEERS OF INDUSTRIAL/TECHNO KNOWN AS FRONT 242. DUE TO THE GREAT PANDEMIC OF 2020, EVERYONE'S PLANNED WORLD TOUR HAS COME TO A HALT. PRESENTED HERE IS A UNIQUE TIME-TRAVELLER MIX RUNNING OVER 2 HOURS LONG. THESE TRACKS WERE PREPARED BY RICHARD 23 FOR THE BAND'S AUDIENCE PRIOR TO SHOWTIME INCLUDING CLASSIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC (PRE-DATING FRONT 242), TRACKS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED THE BAND & "CALM BEFORE THE STORM" SELECTIONS WHICH WOULD LEAD INTO 242'S HIGH ENERGY STAGE ATTACK.  PRIOR TO LISTENING, RICHARD EXPLAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES, EARLY PURCHASES THAT HAD AN AFFECT ON HIM AND HOW THESE SHOPS WERE INTEGRAL TO THE BAND ITSELF. AN INSIGHTFUL AND DEEPLY PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO OUR CULTURE WHICH WE ARE HIGHLY THANKFUL FOR.
