Glideascope

Glideascope

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.

Reviews

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

"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 *****

"Stuns on first listen. A globally in touch moment of bliss that will enhance what ever state of consciousness you're in right now."
