about

" coast/range/arc represents a solid and compelling expansion of Loscil’s sound " DUSTED MAGAZINE

“Coast/ Range/ Arc” refers to the coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest, studded with glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and epic views HEADPHONE COMMUTE

"Known to his friends as Scott Morgan, Loscil specializes in electronic ambient music with a touch of melancholy, a style he's developed on records for Kranky and Ghostly International among others. Several of the Canadian artist's releases so far have been strictly topical, such as 2002's Submers, on which every track was named after a famous submarine. His next one takes inspiration from the Coast Arc Range, a "volcanic arc system" that stretches from Washington state through British Colombia. It's a theme that's well suited to Glacial Movements Records, a geology-obsessed Italian label whose past releases include Bvdub's latest album, The Art of Dying Alone. "
RESIDENT ADVISOR

"Following the release of last year's Endless Falls LP, Canadian ambient composer Scott Morgan (a.k.a. Loscil) has prepped his seventh full-length, a six-track record called Coast/Range/Arc. The album will drop next month via Glacial Movements, and is said to be "centered around the coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest, studded with glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons, and epic views." Before it's available, you can check out the artwork and tracklist for Loscil's Coast/Range/Arc below."

Loscil is a recording project of the Canadian composer Scott Morgan. His career in the ambient music genre began in 1999 with the debut self-produced work A New Demonstration of Thermodynamic Tendencies which drew the attention of American label Kranky. Working primarily with Kranky and Ghostly International, loscil has released some wonderful works which led him to be defined by worldwide media as one of the most authoritative composers of electronic music of our times. One of loscil’s main features is to write environmental weavings which revolve around a well-defined subject. For example, the subject of thermodynamic principles with Triple Point or the subaquatic work Submers, where every composition takes its name from that of a historic submarine.

This aspect of the Canadian artist perfectly merges with the Glacial Movements theme and philosophy; that of glacial and isolationist ambient music.

In fact, coast/range/arc is centered around the coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest, studded with glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and epic views. The majestic ranges form a striking mountain landscape. These tracks explore the timelessness of mountainous elevations; oxygen deprived and surrounded by boundless skies. Mountains are hardly static - in fact they are dynamic on a time scale beyond the human experience. They grow, buckle, twist, erupt and erode at an epic pace. The Coast Range Arc is filled with such mountains and valleys, their dynamics nearly imperceptible. They evoke awe and a connection to an imperceptible past. They are constantly changing, yet represent such a seemingly stoic fixture in our relatively short lives.

Another fine set of ambient soundscapes by Loscil. As others have already noted, "Equivalent 3" and "Equivalent 8" are two of the highlights. Steve Davis
