I’m guessing you don’t want something “squished” but Jon Hassell squishes music and I love that he does. (Read along to this Hassell playlist.) He’s been putting his trumpet through effect units since the mid-Seventies and he’s developed a tone that starts with the trumpet mute and then wanders away. The tone is cramped and damped, small and heavily colored. Hassell uses electronic filters that affect the variables of phase and pitch, giving voice to a drunken, aspirate choir of horns from nowhere.
