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.
Morgan graduated with a BA in music and communications from Simon Fraser University in 1996. While at SFU, Morgan studied under computer music pioneer Barry Truax, working on the Vancouver Soundscape Project and the PODx granular synthesis system.
Since his first full length album, Triple Point, in 2001, LOSCIL has gone on to release 11 albums on the esteemed American label, Kranky. Morgan has also produced special projects, photo books, remixes and collaborations with other musicians including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Murcof/Vanessa Wagner, bvdub, Sarah Neufeld, Daniel Bejar, Rachel Grimes and Lawrence English.
Morgan’s music can be found supporting film, television, theatre and contemporary dance productions including notable work with choreographers Damien Jalet from Belgium and Vanessa Goodman from Vancouver. Morgan has also created bespoke music for games and interactive multimedia projects including Hundreds, Osmos, Lifelike and his own generative music application ADRIFT released in 2015.
As a touring entity, Morgan has brought his live audio-visual performances to festivals worldwide such as Mutek, Le Guess Who, LEV, Gamma Fest, Sled Island, Today’s Art, WOS, Open Frame and Big Ears.
