Stef McGlinchey may be best known for his work as composer/lyricist/producer for pomegranate, but he also has a rich and varied collection of soundtrack work commissioned for various multi-media events (visual theatre, short films, installations). These soundscapes are now being released under his own name by Integral in the FOR IMAGES series of albums. Volumes 1 & 2 are now available from most digital retailers (including I-tunes). Best described as electro-acoustic, ambient or post-classical, these soundscapes are generally electronic, but also make use of an array of traditional instruments and percussion. Layers of processing are used to create a rather nostalgic, melancholy feel. The end result is often uplifting however, characterised by the same subtlety and lightness of touch heard on Stef's mixes for pomegranate. For Images 2 explores the more experimental, dark ambient end of the electronic spectrum, calling to mind the soundscape & drone of Tim Hecker, Stars of the Lid or This Heat. The album reaches its climax with the beautifully hypnotic downtempo track 'Satellite', which is like the sun breaking through at the end of an intensely cloudy day. Stef's massive archive of home recordings are now beginning to see the light of day through the Integral label which he founded in 2000. http://myspace.com/stefmcglinchey Read more on Last.fm.
