Jon Hassell's Seeing Through Sound (Pentimento Volume Two) is the visionary trumpeter and composer's follow-up to his 2018 release Listening to Pictures, continuing his lifelong exploration of what he calls "fourth world" music — a boundless fusion of electronic textures, jazz sensibility, and global sonic influences. Released in 2020 on Ndeya, this second volume in his pentimento series presents eight new tracks born from Hassell's studio process of layering, recombining, and transforming sounds, guided by the Fellini-inspired ethos of "listening as if you were being told a secret."
Warmer and more memoirist in tone than its predecessor, Seeing Through Sound finds Hassell slipping into reflective mode, allowing echoes of his past work to flicker back to life alongside forward-looking sonic exploration. Tracks like "Moons of Titan" and "Reykjavik" evoke vivid, otherworldly atmospheres, while the closing piece "Timeless" — a reworking of a track from an earlier compilation — stands as a stunning capstone to the record, widely regarded as some of the finest music of his remarkable career.
