Jon Hassell Biography
Tennessean composer/trumpeter Jon Hassell was in the forefront of minimalism, having played with both Terry Riley and La Monte Young. Influenced by their ideas, he took them to the next level, combining ambient sound with world music for a unique fusion of the futuristic and the "primitive" sound that he eventually dubbed "fourth world music." Intrigued by Hassell's work, Brian Eno sought him out for some seminal collaborations, also bringing him into his other projects such as Talking Heads' REMAIN IN LIGHT, and trading heavily in Hassell's style for his 1981 album with David Byrne MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS. Hassell went on to further explore his unique paradigm of electronics, experimentalism, and folkloric tradition throughout the subsequent decades.
