Stephen Caulfield is a musician and composer from Reading, Berkshire, UK.
His new album, 'To the Lighthouse' is a very personal collection of music that was inspired by the stunning Icelandic scenery combined with a number of emotional narratives and journeys that he wanted to tell through music without using any words or lyrics. The music is evocative of places, emotions and moments in time, both fictional and real-life and the album journeys from the darkest part of the night through to daylight, with golden sunlight bursting through the clouds to light and warm the landscape once again.
The album was written and recorded over a 5 year period and is rich with analogue synths, strings, piano, brass and field recordings of the Icelandic landscapes. These sounds are woven together into a cohesive sonic palate used throughout the album, although in reference to the natural environment in Iceland, the intention was often to strip back the instrumentation to reflect the stark natural beauty of the Icelandic landscapes.
As well as the music on To the Lighthouse, Stephen has made videos for each track on the album using footage he has recorded on his phone over the years during numerous visits to Iceland. The videos reflect the inspiration the landscapes have given him and help to tell and expand on the stories and narratives being expressed by each piece of music.
