Loscil (real name: Scott Morgan) is the drummer in the Canadian indie band
Destroyer. His solo work is mainly electronic ambient music. His stage name is a contraction of 'looping oscillator', a function in the digital music programme Csound. Loscil's music is mainly based on the atmosphere and feelings it evokes. On Clara, his minimalist soundscapes pass by almost unapproachably, but if you listen
… carefully to the clever build-up, subtle tempo changes, beautiful twinkling sounds and crystal clear sounds, suddenly a beautiful interlude passes you by. Morgan was inspired by space, gravity, light and shadows. With subtle drones he colours his music dark here and there. As a listener you have to surrender to that, so you can quietly float around in the musical vacuum that Loscil put together on this album. (JvQ)more
