Kranky / Ghostly International
The serene ambient compositions of Loscil come courtesy of Vancouver-based musician Scott Morgan. Taking his moniker from the "looping oscillator" function in the computer music language Csound, Morgan uses custom made Max for Live devices and the occasional live instrument to build robust, droning soundscapes. Morgan cites influences including krautrock pioneers Cluster, minimalist composer Gavin Bryars, and a wealth of film music composers.
Loscil's origins come from Morgan's combined influence and involvement with Vancouver's indie rock scene in the 90's, having played in several bands as a guitarist and drummer, and also from his academic studies at Simon Fraser University where he learned computer music, film sound and new music composition studying with influential electroacoustics pioneer Barry Truax.
Loscil's self-released album, A New Demonstration of Thermodynamic Tendencies, caught the ear of the Chicago independent label Kranky, who in turn signed Morgan's project and released Triple Point in October of 2001. Since then, Morgan has gone on to release 5 additional full length albums with Kranky including the latest Sketches from New Brighton released in September of 2012. In light of Loscil's exclusive track "Umbra" on Ghostly's 2006 compilation Idol Tryouts 2, Ghostly partnered with Morgan in 2009 for the EP Strathcona Variations.
"...an impressive catalogue of pensive, minimal records that turn computerized sounds into something strangely soothing-- the kind of music you want to listen to flat on your back, eyes fixed at the ceiling..." PITCHFORK
"...a set of songs left teetering on the brink of actually existing at all, a sort of ghostly paean to the beauty found on the cusp of complete silence." DROWNED IN SOUND
"Endless Falls' mix of old and new maintains Morgan's reputation as one of the most consistent, and consistently interesting, producers out there." ALL MUSIC
Here is a recent interview with Loscil on Tiny Mix Tapes where he discusses his new album "Sketches from New Brighton".

Talvihorros - http://talvihorros.com/
Talvihorros is Edinburgh based composer Ben Chatwin's study of guitar and electronics. Numerous techniques are used to coax a myriad of sounds from both acoustic and electric guitars. Home-made and vintage electronic equipment are used to process and manipulate recorded material into dense and dark sound collages, augmented with analogue synths, organs, bells, percussion and static.
Talvihorros improvises live with an electric guitar through pedals and is often joined by a percussionist. He has shared the stage with Tim Hecker, Barn Owl, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Machinefabriek and Stephan Mathieu.
