Loscil is the electronic music project of Canadian composer and multimedia artist Scott Morgan.
For over 20 years, Morgan has built a robust catalogue of work under the loscil moniker, loosely spanning the genres of ambient, classical and electroacoustic music. Since 2001, the vast majority of loscil’s albums, including the 2021 LP, Clara, have been released on the esteemed American imprint, Kranky.
Alongside his solo work Morgan has also produced numerous special projects, remixes and collaborations with other labels such as Ghostly International and Glacial Movements and artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Murcof/Vanessa Wagner, bvdub, Sarah Neufeld, Daniel Bejar, Rachel Grimes and Lawrence English.
Morgan’s bespoke music and video can be found supporting contemporary dance productions, including works by choreographers Damien Jalet from Belgium and Vanessa Goodman from Vancouver. As a touring entity, Morgan has brought his live audio-visual performances to festivals worldwide including Mutek, Le Guess Who, LEV, Gamma Fest, Sled Island, Today’s Art, WOS, Open Frame and Big Ears.
Morgan is based in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xwməθkwəyə̓ m (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səlí̓lwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
This project was made possible by support from the British Columbia Arts Council.
