loscil is vancouver, canada based musician and media artist scott
morgan. scott's interest in electronic music developed during his
time in the simon fraser university music and communications
programs, where he was introduced to the music and ideas of
karlheinz stockhausen, edgard varese, john cage and the like. this
interest, coupled with exposure to electro-acoustic music
technologies and computer aided compositional tools, lead to a
series of experiments in electronic music production, including
the piece 'parade' which was published by the canadian
electro-acoustic community on their 'presence' compilation in
1997.
since moving beyond scholastic life, scott has been an active
member in vancouver's arts scene. he served on the board of
vancouver pro musica, a society geared to supporting and
developing local composers. he received canada council funding for
the production of a radio play, helped organize and curate for a
vancouver audiovisual collective called the multiplex users group
and worked with several film makers, dancers and multimedia
artists as a sound designer and composer. he is employed as an
audiovisual technician at the vancouver art gallery and runs a
small-scale sound design business on the side.
loscil was conceived in 1998 as a focused outlet for scott's
electronic music production. loscil music is simple but deep; rich
and warm, with elements of experimentation. at its core the music
is driven by repetition, looping, oscillating and pulsing, but
with subtle variation on the surface. loscil music is minimal,
dark and ambient, but also melodic and rhythmic. since starting to
perform under the name loscil, scott has also regularly
incorporated visual projections as accompaniment to the music;
abstract visualizations driven by the music itself and which, like
the music, are inspired by repetition, geometry, flow and pulse.
