I’m sorry to hear this (and, thus far, haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere).

John, as soon as I get home, I’ll shred one on the Fender for ya.

Hassell’s work with David Sylvian is what I’ll remember most.

The world will be a much less pretty place without Mr Hassell - and we also lost Harold Budd in December.

Nooo! Very sad. Hassell and Budd helped me come down off many acid trips back in my psychonaut days. Both still occupy big chunks of my ambient rotation. 4th World 1 & 2 are forever classics. Power Spot…on and on. Wow. Did not want to start my day this way. RIP.

To steal a line from Miles, “he’s playing with Harold Budd now.”
