nyone familiar with Jon Hassell’s work
will know about his unwavering talent
to push the boundaries of genre music
with his eclectic originality. His newest
album Seeing Through Sound (Pentimento
Volume Two) promises immersive songs for
any jazz lover to enjoy. The collection will
garner new fans out of casual listeners and
is worthy of any art house event.
His ethereal electronic jazz soundtrack
satisfies the senses with delightfully
pulsating tones. One of his songs “Moons
of Titan’—arguably one of the best
segments in the album—employs soothing
flourishes and soft percussion to create a
relaxing meditation. Hassell’s experimental
repertoire, albeit lacking any lyrics, would
be perfect for surreal sci-fi films like Blade
Runner or The Twilight Zone.
The album also has a compelling
scope of mystery that alludes to the
sublime vastness of the universe. The
track “Lunar” balances eerie pings with
sudden screeches from the synthesizer.
This creates reverberating tension,
reminiscent of an avant-garde horror
movie taking place in a celestial world.
As for “Cool Down,” the piece employs
strong hits on the drum rim and infuses
them with bizarre distortions. This
evokes feelings of uncertainty—like that
of the cosmos. These songs beautifully
convey the wonders and dangers of space
exploration.
Beyond his other-worldly motifs,
Hassell’s musical non-conformity
encourages listeners to embrace their
differences. The trumpet, synthesizer, and

siblings across 1960 to 1963 Dallas. If that
were not enough to worry about, the family

The siblings rebuild their lives in the
years they land in, each with a profession

which is strangely fitting, and all the while

of his brother Ben (Justin H. Min). Allison
(Emmy Raver-Lampman) becomes a civil

with her amnesia in a barn. Luther (Tom

underground club, and his brother Diego

work would alienate fans of iconic
musicians like John Coltrane or Billie

The songs have bold and sometimes
strange approaches to their sound, so
they require an extremely open mind that

PENTIMENTO VOLUME TWO

they have more room to evolve. These
inventive events give viewers a chance
to delve into what makes each character
unique, and see their heart-warming care for
one another. New characters introduced also
contribute to the colourful personalities of
the Hargreeves family. However, some new
villains appear to be overstuffing, such as
the apocalypse-ensuring assassins replacing
Cha Cha and Hazel but with much less
personality and flair.
The show still delivers with an
unpredictable plot, humorous name
calling, a killer soundtrack, and their
innovative methods to avoid the
armageddon. It exceeds season one in
character development and ridiculously
witty banter. If you are looking for bold
one-liner material, this is the show for you.

journey into the depths of electronic jazz.
