The heavily computerized music of Loscil is courtesy of a single man -- Scott Morgan. Influenced by the likes of Cluster, Henry Mancini, and Gavin Bryars, the Vancouver-based player uses samplers, synthesizers, reckoner computer programing, and other personal effects to create a highly original heavy. A self-released album, A New Demonstration of Thermodynamic Tendencies, caught the capitulum of the Chicago independent tag Kranky, world Health Organization in turn sign-language Morgan's project and issued Triple Point in October of 2001. The album featured six tracks previously issued on Thermodynamic Tendencies, as well as four-spot new tracks. Submers, Morgan's second official Loscil album, followed the following year. In addition to his Loscil duties, Morgan likewise drums for Vancouver alt-rockers Destroyer, has designed music for films, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and websites, and wrote music to accompany films at the Barcelona Off-Line Flash Film Festival in May 2001.
