Glideascope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glideascope is a London based downtempo/trip-hop artist and producer, who has pioneered a direction in the genre of downtempo music which he terms 'Audio Cinematography'. With heavy use of cinematic undertones, blissful melodies and lo-fi beats.

November 2003 witnessed the debut release from Glideascope entitled ‘With Strings Attached’. This downtempo EP - the first instalment from Glideascope – was licensed by MTV for their U.S. based documentary MADE. The EP’s corresponding success sealed a distribution and publishing deal with Jet Star early in 2005.

In 2006 Glideascope was the only UK artist selected to appear as a Buzz Band artist and showcased material at the MIDEM music conference in Cannes, after recording sessions with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

The debut album entitled ‘Audio Cinematography’, was recorded over a two year period. It promotes emotive electronica, live orchestral strings and world music landscapes whilst plunging into the depth-charged dub reggae of old.

[edit] Reviews

"The album's widescreen blues is reminiscent of Massive Attack...One of the most evocative albums you're likely to hear this year!"

"Taking the templates of the likes of Groove Armada and Thievery Corporation, then re-inventing them as his own, adding classical and world music alongside more contemporary influences. Acquire."
DMC Update *****
