Scottish electronic musician Lewis Bigham records and performs under the moniker Glassmasterer, a name which comes from the final stage in CD duplication, a process known as “glassmastering”. Since 2016, Glassmasterer has released music under a variety of genres including hip-hop, jazz, funk and folk.
After the world was plunged into lockdown, his music took a more introverted and oblique electronic style, releasing the singles “Dawn Runner” and “Until The Dust”, and the virtual concert film Particles.
Following on from a collection of singles Glassmasterer returns with another taste of chilled IDM/electronica in the form of the “Trouvaille”. Recorded in his countryside studio, the track gently draws you away from those lockdown cabin fever blues and plants you right in the peaceful wilderness with soothing synth tones and enough glitchy beats to keep you head nodding.
Commenting on the track, he offers, “Trouvaille is French for lucky find, which is how I see a lot of creative inspiration at the minute; having a creative outlet is so important to me at the moment.”
Warm instrumentation delicately sits above a shuffling, snappy beat as airy vocal lines weave amongst the composition. Elements of IDM, glitch and experimental electronic combine to create this laidback chilled sound full of colourful textures and shifting rhythms.
