Throwing
together some preset drum loops and samples doesn’t qualify you as a bona fide
electronic music producer.
And even if you do know your shit,
that doesn’t necessarily put you in the same league as UK tech-house wizard
Glimpse, AKA Chris Spero.
That’s because Glimpse is the kind of
obsessive artisan you can only compare to one of those passionate
vintners who know their wine intimately, from grape on the vine to
fermented finish.
And just like making a fine wine, Glimpse takes his sweet time
producing a track. If you don’t believe us, read what he had to tell
Crossfade last March about his painstakingly meticulous studio production methods.
The nuance and depth of Glimpse’s productions are more
than evident on “Rock Pool,” a slice of breezy soothing cool jazz with a
gentle but driving house beat. Download it for free, then go catch the
man live at the Electric Pickle this Thursday in support of “Wildlife,” his new November release with Martin Dawson on the Letfroom label.
