endless falls is the fifth full length release by scott morgan
under the loscil moniker. the album begins and ends with the sound
of rain recorded by scott in his back yard, precipitation being a
constant presence in his home city of vancouver. many of the other
sounds on the album are derived from these same recordings,
processed and combined with other harmonic sounds to create the
textures and drones.
something completely new to this release would be vocals, of a
sort, a first for any loscil composition, contributed by daniel
bejar on the final track. scott states "the collaboration with dan
made us both incredibly nervous. dan felt out of his element doing
'spoken word' but rose to the challenge. i felt self-conscious
about changing the listening perspective from abstract, ambient
music into foreground, conscious listening. the first time i heard
dan's voice recording i was terrified and was tempted to call the
whole thing off. i listened to it a few more times and it
completely grew on me. now i can't imagine that piece without his
performance. i love dan's use of words, his vocal rhythms and the
intimate intensity of his voice."
jason zumpano is the only returning performer from past
collaborations, he is responsible for the piano parts. kim koch
and robert sparks make appearances on violin and bass recorder.
the cover photos for the album were taken from the backseat of the
family car by scott's newest collaborator, his 4 year old daughter
sadie.
