Loscil is the project of Vancouver based composer Scott Morgan. Morgan’s background in Vancouver’s independent music scene as a drummer and guitarist and his academic composition studies at Simon Fraser University culminated in the creation of Loscil in the late 1990’s. With Loscil, Morgan explores the marriage of electronic production and acoustic instrumentation to create “…stark landscapes that are evocative, earthly, anything but abstract, and so much more than merely ‘ambient’.” (The Quietus, UK).

Loscil has predominantly released music through Portland’s Kranky label including his 7th full length, 2014’s Sea Island. He has also worked with the esteemed Ghostly International, Italy’s Glacial Movements, Ireland’s Wist Rec, England’s Gizeh, Canada’s JAZ Records and his own Frond imprint for special releases.

Loscil has produced numerous remixes and collaborated with other musicians such as bvdub, Rachel Grimes, Christina Vantzou, Destroyer and Kelly Wyse. He has composed for film and appeared in bold documentaries such as The Corporation, Scared Sacred and Damnation. He has created bespoke music for dance and video games such as Hundreds and Osmos and has performed worldwide including at renowned festivals such as Mutek, Decibel and Big Ears.
