Glint is an American electronic rock project founded in 2003 by Jase Blankfort. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Blankfort is solely responsible for Glint’s direction and the only official member. Glint’s music spans a wide range of genres. The touring band features a selective lineup that rearranges songs to fit a live setting, frequently including longtime collaborator Mateus Tebaldi on drums. Past live members have included Alon Leventon, Dave Johnsen and Philip Kuperberg. ==History== Jase Blankfort was born and raised in Orangeburg, New York, a suburb of New York City; he began as a theatre actor in his early teens and appeared in several Broadway and off-Broadway productions in New York City (including works by Pam Gems,〔(Jase Blankfort in "Stanley" on Broadway )〕 Anton Chekhov,〔(Jase Blankfort in The New York Times for Glowaki's Chekhov inspired play "The Fourth Sister" )〕 Ricky Ian Gordon, Tina Landau,〔(Jase Blankfort in The New York Times for Gordon/Landau play "Dream True" )〕 and Janusz Glowaki). After a departure from the stage and screen,〔(Jase Blankfort's profile on IMDB )〕 Blankfort dropped out of high school,〔Quigley, Maeve (July 31, 2009). "A quick one with Glint", ''Daily Mirror'', p. 2.〕 relocated to Los Angeles and began writing music. Various acoustic performances in Los Angeles, New York, and Boston showed a promising future for Blankfort and sparked the interest of an enthusiastic Boston University student and Blankfort's brother, Adam Jordan (Blankfort), who was eager to collaborate with his younger brother. Blankfort and Jordan founded Rely Records, an independent record label to serve as a platform for Blankfort’s budding songwriting career. During a short visit to their parent's house that ultimately resulted in a permanent move back east, Blankfort met percussive innovator Mateus Tebaldi, a native of Brazil who had recently arrived in the United States from Milan, Italy. Tebaldi and Blankfort, as Glint, gained press and notoriety as a new band emerging in the New York City underground music scene. Glint caught the attention of producer-engineer Nic Hard (The Bravery, Aberdeen City, The Kin) on the night Glint was crowned winners of the 2007 Independent Music World Series,〔(Glint wins 2007 IMWS )〕 chosen by ''Billboard Magazine'', and he went on to produce ''Sound in Silence'' in 2007. Sonically orientated as a quartet yet created as a duo, Tebaldi and Blankfort needed to fill in the blank spaces in order to do the record justice in live performances. A search to find like-minded individuals resulted in a touring lineup of Tebaldi, Blankfort, Kuperberg and special guests Alon Leventon (keys) and Dave Johnsen (Bass). Glint toured Europe in 2009.〔Flockhart, Gary (July 24, 2009). "(A Glint in the eye of electro rockers )", ''Edinburgh Evening News'', p. 6.

"(Get a glimpse of Glint )", ''Derby Evening Telegraph'', p. 23. Retrieved November 25, 2010.〕 The 2009 ''Sound in Sight'' tour brought them to 10 countries in 40 days, performing 30 shows across England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, and the Netherlands. Notable main stage festival appearances included Dockville in Hamburg, Germany, Noorderzon in Groningen, Netherlands, and Castlepalooza in Tullamore, Ireland. Half of the tour included support dates with The Airborne Toxic Event, MGMT, and the Crystal Antlers. The success of this tour put Glint on the radar of ''NME'', ''Artrocker'',〔(Glint in Artocker )〕 and the UK Metro. Jase Blankfort and Alon Leventon self-produced ''GLINT - EP'', released July 2009 in the UK and February 2010 in the US, recorded in various New York studios, and mixed by Michael Brauer at Electric Lady Studios. Matt Pinfield is a fan of the band and had them on his show, ''Matt Pinfield in the Mornings'' on 101.9 WRXP for an unplugged performance and interview on November 17, 2008.〔(Matt Pinfield Interviews Glint )〕 Glint had two live performances on Fearless Music which was aired on FOX TV in 2009. Glint toured the United States in March and April 2010, performing official showcases at SXSW and supporting the electronic artist BT. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
