Artist picture
Jack Hassall is an independent unsigned guitarist/composer from Manchester, England.
Jack Hassall is the craftsman of eclectic persona strumming down the cosmic road of digital reverberation and subtle ambiance. His shimmering cascades of audio light reflect a pastel of rainbows. The sonic beauty and creative gleam of a master craftsman of music, mood and nuance. Jack Hassall's work reflects a multitude of influences that are fused into something that careens under the surface of an enormous deep dark green-blue ocean whilst gazing simultaneously at the pale blue lilac sky. Tunes like 'Fanfare' pulsate electronic groove with horn accents; 'E-thang' segues into counterpoint bass and clavinet with a sheen of ambiance strings and three chord progression hook. In 'Boogie Song' the genre flips to retro dance blues. Jack Hassall's blues roots are showcased in 'Au Revoir' and his acoustic guitar balladry coupled with female soul vox melodies minus lyrics. The harmonica singed FX laden track 'Blue Suede Shoes' is a dreamscape heavy dance beat of delays; The slide guitar majesty of 'Stella Blues' shines with reverberated expression. Jack Hassall is equally enthralling in a smooth jazz fusion mode via songs such as 'Taxi Dance Revisited' and 'Hyanis Rain' with its open air feel; As are cuts like 'Train To Nowhere' with its subtle nuance and the airy breeze of 'Mood Swing'. The scenic and classic effect of the electric guitar driven 'Findaway' compliment cuts like 'Day Trip' and its melancholy pop-rock pocket sublime. The distant vista of tunes like 'Steady Eddie' contrast songs such as 'Higher Baby' and its merging of R&B energy-urgency. To come full swing in this carousel of musical colors and capacities we come upon brilliant cuts like 'Why Can't You' ; It's magnificent shimmering hook laden with cascades of ambiance and synthesizer background awash in sly production and mix down digital delay/reverb as to be surmised as a pop/rock gem of inflection reflected aura-sonic. Again witnessed in 'Sweet Sweet Love' we find a moody string with atmospheric effulgence, radiating outwards from the listeners senses to the innermost area of emotion and feeling. This conveys the mastery and unique talent of an artistic British enigma from Manchester; A stones throw away from Liverpool and with all the muse and scenery characteristic of the great artistic output and brilliance of resident Jack Hassall. Don't be fooled by mere words of praise. Realize and experience Jack Hassall at the beginning of his invention, penetration and insight not only into the fans and listeners hearts; But also to the rise of a songsmith in all of his original ground breaking art to and for people who love true inspiration.

Story behind the song
The intention behind this track was/is to try and positively evolve my musical direction, largely based on the experiences I've had with The Inside Reel College TV show, which has featured several of the tracks here in numerous episodes. For example, it's quite a strange but pleasant experience to hear your music playing while you're watching Steven Spielberg recieving a Lifetime Achiement Award(!), hence "Cinematique", would seem to be the next logical step in the evolution of my humble musical endeavours. No, Steven hasn't called!!! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the music I create seems to fit into this world rather than that of mainstream "pop music" and the word "Cinematique" may well turn out to be an even more appropriate description of what "I do" than "eclectronic". Anyway I do hope you like the track!! I've lived with this track for quite a few months now, and I thought it was quite nice as it is. However, there are obviously lots of things that could be added onto the basic rhythm track here. So, before I do this on the other upcoming variations, I thought it would be a cool idea to release this "plain vanilla" version. I like the intro, which gives the listener no real clue about what is going to happen and I like the bass guitar and the place where it tacits. I also like the rhythm guitar which is a pretty unusual thing for me to say. It's really not that hard to imagine all the sound FX that could be superimposed on this simple and unchallenging musical landscape - or even some lead guitar work or sax for that matter. But then it would transform into a piece of music and that isn't the real intention at this stage. Blue Suede Shoes; Taxi Dance Revisited; Fanfare and Mood Swing are used in The Inside Reel College TV Show. Because of this, I've seen real Hollywood film content and my music together and I have to say that it was inspiring. So this is why I've called it "Cinematique (Part I)", because as it stands, you can easily imagine dialogue and visuals coalescing together (well, I can at least). So here it is in that context and I really do hope that you like it so please give me a ping if you do! Many thanks in advance and thanks for listening. PS: Audio Engineering types - I hear a big difference between the 16 bit 44.1 Khz Red Book and this MP3 file, despite best efforts on my part. I suspect that the mp3 encoding process is based on pyscho-accoustic principles and that the spectrum it is encoding doesn't have any prominances in the 3-5 Khz band. If you know - please ping me!! TIA.
