Info for Recall, Recall

The latest release by the two classically trained brass musicians/composers Aaron Messing and Anni Hochhalter, Recall, Recall, is an overflowing menagerie of sounds and melodies featuring textured injections of trumpet and French horn, with some voice, guitar, drums, and sensory percussion giving the whole a unique sound. Aaron Messing is a composer, arranger, producer, and trumpet player, and Anni Hochhalter is a founding member and French horn player of classical chamber ensemble WindSync. In substance, the album slips from dimension to dimension within and between songs as though traversing the contours of a calabi-yau manifold - heady and quirky like a Terry Gilliam cut-out animation but grounded in a Herman Hesse-esque spirituality. Each song encompasses its own singular world, tethered to the next by the brass and the unique contours of the voices of Hochhalter and Messing.

"Effortlessly converging a removed version of the classical, jazz, dream pop and analogue-sounding electronica, Late Aster, in a live and filmed setting, produce moving music with a spacey, ethereal hazy feel. I love this EP.” - Monolith Cocktail

"a true experimental masterpiece that defies boundaries” - Death or Desire

Late Aster

Late Aster
Situated somewhere between ambient electronic and chamber pop, San Francisco-based Late Aster’s music has been described as producing “unprecedented sounds” (SF Chronicle) that “on paper [] shouldn’t work, but it does.” (Tape-Op) Their two previous EPs “True and Toxic” (2021) and "Light Rail Session" (2023), articulate a kaleidoscopic theory of music grounded in the electronic processing of trumpet and French horn and supported by meticulous songwriting, instrumentation, and sound-sculpting.

The gesamtkunstwerk of two classically trained brass musicians/composers Aaron Messing and Anni Hochhalter, Late Aster is an overflowing menagerie of sounds and melodies with injections of trumpet and French horn. Aaron Messing is a composer, arranger, producer, and trumpet player based in San Francisco and Anni Hochhalter is a founding member and French horn player of classical chamber ensemble WindSync, wind quintet. Recordings includes performances and production by Oktaven Audio recording engineer, Charles Mueller (guitar, editing, and mixing), Cameron LeCrone (drums), and production by Mark Yoshizumi (3db, Pitchfork Radio, Sonos Radio).
