Trumpet Echoes by Greg Hammontree

Trumpet: Echoes is Greg Hammontree’s ambient rendering of brass as architecture — a sculptural unfolding of sound, evoking his jazz training in a postmodern world.

Built with live processing and deep-listening intent, this solo trumpet project lets extended harmonies hover, fracture, and reassemble into shifting constellations.

Developed in quiet resistance to overstimulation, Trumpet: Echoes moves slow. Notes stretch, bend, and drift, pulling sense of time with them. What begins as sound becomes landscape — antiphonal ghosts, textural afterimages, presence fading into memory.

Hammontree reimagines the trumpet as a harmonic engine, less about statement, more about space. It's not about resolution, but suspension — moments caught in feedback loops between breath and reflection. Each performance is an invitation to experience time not as a line, but as an expansive terrain. A living soundworld, where timbre, harmony, and perspective are in constant negotiation.
