Vernal Equinox

Editorial Reviews
Linda Kohanov, Pulse!
"Vernal Equinox offers an exotic tapestry of natural sounds mixed with gently haunting synthesizer textures, fluid trumpet lines and a host of expertly performed ethnic rhythms."

Album Description
First released in 1977, this recording influenced Brian Eno, whose subsequent association with Hassell formed a collaboration with 'Possible Musics'. Within these sparse but exotic textures, you can hear the vocal source of Hassell's unusual trumpet sound as he bends notes into breath-like murmurs. On the raga-like title track, Hassell weaves a long, sinewy trail across the slow percussion of David Rosenboom and Nana Vasconcelos, with a slowly-shifting synthesizer background acting like a minimalist take on a tamboura drone.
