Loscil

it took me a couple of listens to click and I wasn't playing it LOUD enough the first time, but yeah its got a nice restrained power to it if you submerge yourself in it.

New _Clara_ companion piece on Bandcamp. 4 tracks for $6 CAD or $30 CAD for limited cd/photo book combo. Listening to "Refraction 3" now. Consistently quality efforts from the man.

Even by Loscil standards this is ridiculously good ^

“Fiction” is utterly outstanding

Enjoying the new one. Feels like there's bit more propulsion to it, a la Plume-era stuff. His more recent output has been more drifty (sorry can't think of a better word than drifty). I do like Loscil more when there's a hint of beats/rhythms pulsing underneath.

Am enjoying it a lot too. E-mailed him via Bandcamp to ask about a physical release. He responded that a double cd is more likely than a vinyl release, but he's still deciding.

The Sails p.2 is now available to stream or purchase - also a double-CD of The Sails in it’s entirety will start shipping next week. https://t.co/a6Rj66aqP1 https://t.co/FYlwrqRmWC pic.twitter.com/sYIlqX6QS7

getting strong Thomas Fehlmann vibes from that opening track.

After finding about Pjusk due to "Turn Back" (sounds like "Svefn-g-englar" Sigur Ros), got RIYLd his collab with Loscil on Spotify. Nice stuff.

Street teaming - new collaboration with Lawrence English pre-order on Bandcamp. Out Feb 3, 2023. Preview track "Violet" is unsurprisingly a perfect companion for a late night foggy walk.

The union of composers Lawrence English and loscil aka Scott Morgan is seamless, sublime, and long overdue. Born of a conversation centered on the notion of “rich sources” as a forge for electronic music, Colours Of Air is a collection of recordings of a century old pipe organ housed at the historic Old Museum in Brisbane, Australia, which were then processed, transformed, and elevated into eight majestic electro-acoustic threshold devotionals. The timbre of the instrument and spatial fluctuations of room tone infuse the music with a subdued, sacred feel, like vaulted light in a nave of stained glass. They describe the album as “an iterative project, a reduction and eventual expansion,” sifting the swells and drones of the organ for every shivering shade of radiance.

The tracks are named for the hue each piece suggests – from the gauzy levitational miasma of “Yellow” to the pulsing melancholic mirage of “Violet” to the seething twilit sandstorm of “Magenta.” Morgan and English are both adept at conjuring moods of muted grandeur, like landscapes veiled in dusk, still looming and luminous. Here their combined powers open pathways to heightened realms of deep listening and bewitching restraint, finding flickering infinities in ancient configurations of wind, brass, stone, and dust.

Stumbled across a loscil / Seabuckthorn collab while wandering around Bandcamp this morning, too. Not linked from the main loscil page, nice combo of guitar and atmosphere.
