Re: Re: Re: Circular Breathing: Live Looping
Trumpeter Liz Allbee uses a lot of the same techniques as Jon Hassell, except she had never heard of Hassell until people started telling her about the similarities.
Liz lived in the Bay Area for a while, but she moved to Berlin a couple years ago. Unlike Hassell, she does not use harmonizers, but occasionally uses other electronic effects. She mostly plays improv, noise and occasionally punk rock.
I'm sure she's on youtube, but I'm not supposed to be on youtube while at work.
Up in the San Francisco/East Bay improv scene, where "extended technique" is the standard technique, there seems to be more wind/reed players who use circular breathing than those who don't. I've seen some incredible performances by Matt Ingalls, John Ingle (no relation) and Phillip Greenlief. John Butcher (from the UK) is also really good.

used to tour with Jon Hassell. He told me that Hassel could get the same sound that
he got on his records (save those harmonized parallel 4ths and 5ths)
acoustically. He told me this just as I was trying to learn how to play trumpet as
a found sound instrument. Knowing that sound was possible opened up an entire
world for me of breathy trumpet playing and overtone manipulation.
