Biography:
The heavily computerized music of Loscil is courtesy of a single man -- Scott Morgan. Influenced by the likes of Cluster, Henry Mancini, and Gavin Bryars, the Vancouver-based musician uses samplers, synthesizers, computer programming, and other effects to create a highly original sound. A self-released album, A New Demonstration of Thermodynamic Tendencies, caught the ear of the Chicago independent label Kranky, who in turn signed Morgan`s project and issued Triple Point in October of 2001. The album featured six tracks previously issued on Thermodynamic Tendencies, as well as four new tracks. Submers, Morgan`s second official Loscil album, followed the next year. In addition to his Loscil duties, Morgan also drums for Vancouver alt-rockers Destroyer, has designed music for films, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and websites, and wrote music to accompany films at the Barcelona Off-Line Flash Film Festival in May 2001.
