My third album of 2024 is released now.
The Apprentice to the Surgeon of the Nightsky
Fourth World Volume XVII
by Vincent Curson Smith & Blake Leyh
After Jon Hassell died in 2021, we decided to make a Fourth World record following in Hassell’s footsteps. A dream-fueled journey into a world of extended-technique trumpet, electric cello, hazy washes of drones, and dub percussion. The music is a tribute to Jon Hassell’s lasting legacy.
