Artist Bios

loscil

Over the past 20 Years, Canadian composer Scott Morgan has created one of the most compelling and consuming visions on post-ambient minimalism. Morgan’s electronic music project, loscil, is concerned with an intense interrogation of pulse, harmony and texture, calling upon these raw materials to create vast and enveloping auditory transcriptions of landscapes, architecture and his home on the Canadian west coast. On his latest album, Lake Fire, he charts the smouldering intensities of British Columbia's recent wave of wildfires, creating a suite of works that speak simultaneously to the destructive force of these events and the period of rebirth that follows them.
