loscil / plume / kranky

Vancouver based, Scott Morgan won our respect with his brilliant First Narrows release in 2004. Plume, his latest release on Kranky takes on similar characteristics. Scott states, "Compositionally, many tracks on Plume are similar in approach to First Narrows; they started with a harmonic root from which sounds were processed into a loose structure over which the live players could improvise. There was substantially less editing this time around with the live tracks. I opted to choose the better improvised passes and merely mix them in and out rather than cut them up. I think this leaves a lot more natural space and balances the heavily structured and repetitive electronic elements with more organic performed layers. Jason Zumpano returned from the First Narrows ensemble and I also recruited long time friend Steve Wood and my partner Krista to play some ebow guitar as well as Josh Lindstrom to play some Xylophone and Vibraphone which I believe added a nice new element into the mix." Witnessing his daughter Sadie in the ultrasound has also influenced the creation of Plume in which he created sounds that mimic the experience of being in the womb. Scott's subliminal melodies, and fluid organic sounds are soothing, calm, heartfelt and tranquil. Loscil is truly a treasure when it comes to beautiful organic drone electronic music.
