Jon Hassell - Voiceprint edits - City - Works of fiction

Hassell coined the term "Fourth World" to describe his musical style, as expressed both in his trumpet playing and in his approach to composition. This musical conception combines the philosophy and techniques of minimalism with Asian and African styles, and relies heavily on the use of electronic instruments. Critics of Hassell's style have noted its incorporation of New Age and world music styles, but have also detected the influence of Miles Davis, particularly Davis' use of electronics, modal harmony and understated lyricism.Both on record and during live performances, Hassell makes use of traditional western instruments--keyboards, bass, electric guitar, and percussion--to create modal, hypnotic grooves, over which he plays microtonally-inflected trumpet phrases in the style of Nath's kiranic vocals 808 state mix, latino mix, lp version, radio mix - rykodisc 1977 Vernal Equinox 1978 Earthquake Island 1981 Fourth World, Vol. 2: Dream Theory in Malaya 1983 Aka/Darbari/Java: Magic Realism 1986 Power Spot (produced by Brian Eno / Daniel Lanois) 1987 The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound 1988 Flash of the Spirit 1990 City: Works of Fiction (All Saints Records) 1994 Dressing for Pleasure 1995 Sulla Strada (release of soundtrack from 1982) 1998 The Vertical Collection 1999 Fascinoma 2005 Magic Realism, Vol. 2: Maarifa Street Video includes Friends, family, giant surfing waves, fiat advert, church of scientology, mouflaf, tom cruise, south park, trapped in the closet, headless man, ron hubbard, man in a box, tsunami, stockholm, carniverous birds, simpsons fan, norwegian idol, an inverted spectrogram, xenu, a hidden fast fourier transform short-time, spectrometer, Nicholas Serota is not present, zx spectrum graphics card, a wavelet transformer which i got in spain, it's amongst the noise, the influence of Frank Zappa and his thing-fish, Louise Bourgeois, Juan Muñoz, Alan Partridge makes an appearance at 1m 34s from the Day Today with horse racing commentary, cloudy apple juice, an animated abortion to calm the nerves of the bible bashing right wing catholic christians with their self righteous ideas from an old book written by men who dress funny sponsored by Chris Morris founder leader of the Brasseye arts and crafts and model making association, Anish Kapoor, Olafur Eliasson for his non existent frown, the mothers of invention are not present anywhere here, conceptual continuity is not always present, The Weather Project are not there either, so that's good, Holger Czuckay for his moustache and accent, Bruce Nauman, Terence Harrisson, who i don't know but like very much for he must be somewhere tranquile, Rachel Whiteread i am not a fan of, the next video ought to be Steve Reich because I want to kill him and one must address a balance.
