In Voûte’s last issue I reviewed Loscil’s latest album “Coast/�Range/�Arc”,�which�also�serves�as�his�first�one�on the Italian label Glacial Movements Records. I grad-ed�it�four�out�of�five.�This�isn’t�very�remarkable�seeing�as how good of an album it is, but I do have a confession to make. If the record had been released in August and I had written the text in the beginning of September, it’s my sincere belief that I hadn’t been able not to take external factors into consideration. Well yes, I suppose this is some kind of admittance from me as a writer. But nonetheless, let it be known: Before I wrote the review, I�hadn’t�yet�stumbled�upon�a�specific�artefact�which�in�time would make me understand, what I think is, the actual reason that the music of Loscil is as hovering, harmonic and appealing as it is. It’s not really a matter of Loscil’s precise ability to make music conceptually and thematic. Rather, it has to do with the pure calm-ness and gentle state of mind of a human being. Let me explain further. Prior to the great wrecking of the Loscil blog in the end of the summer one was able to read a very pleasant post, dated in 2009, where the�writer�gave�us�his�own�reflections�at�life.�The�hum-ble Canadian in question contrasted his present sub-sistence to how it all was like about a decade ago. In the text, Loscil, or Scott Morgan as he’s actually called, shortly described his personal situation back when he was a newly graduated academic with a hefty student loan. He portrayed how he at the time found himself unemployed, just recently having met his “second half” Krista. Furthermore, Morgan told us that his grandpar-ents were still alive back then and that he never ever even�had�dreamed�of�owning�a�house.�Things�have�ob-viously changed for Morgan since then, both in positive and negative aspects. But nonetheless, it’s apparent that he himself is very pleased, to say the least, with the life he’s living today.

The�actual�content�of�Morgan’s�writing�isn’t�revolution-izing, nor is it grandiose in terms of word-use. Instead, he conveys simple, thoughts about a warm and happy family� life� and� a� good� personal�moral.� The� text� pro-vides hope and gives an explanation to his music, while it at the same time expresses himself, his feelings and general approach towards life. caring thoughts about a warm and happy family life and a good personal moral. The�text�provides�hope�and�gives�an�explanation�to�his�music, while it at the same time expresses himself, his feelings and general approach towards life. It strikes me that the artist, which music I’ve been falling asleep to almost every night since the end of April, isn’t simply a constantly dependable actor within the ambient music sphere. Scott Morgan is also - no, rather above all - a caring father, a loving husband and an ordinary living, breathing person. Every evening when I’ve called my girlfriend to rant about receiving another Loscil album by mail, I have simply discussed the music itself and not the musician behind it. It has previously just existed in all its glory. But whenever I wander home from the commuter train at a quarter to one in the morning, I do now realize that Scott Morgan and his wife is midway of cooking dinner for their chil-dren.�They’re� right� in� the�middle� of� the� life� that� they�share�altogether.�There� lies�a�great�honesty� in� the�ac-tion of telling the world about ones life as something humble and simple and which one at the same time love above all else. I think it’s basically these grounds that Loscil’s music is built upon, which in turn supports the deep,�atmospherically�soundscapes� that�flows�all�over�his compositions. It is indeed kind music, made by a humble and caring individual. Finally, I simply want to quote Morgan’s own thoughts of the house in which he and family is living. “It isn’t much,�but�it�is�ours�and�we�call�it�home�and�we�love�it.”•

STILL UPON THEOCEAN FLOOR

I have no reason whatsoever of not writing another text about Loscil.

I’ve�always�been�keen�to�figure�out�how�to�explain�what�makes repetitive music good, or why it’s good but I really can’t. Heck, it’s hard to explain why anything’s good. Unfortunately people tend to repudiate minimal techno much more then a random pop song. ‘Nothing ever�happens’� they� say.�To�me,� it’s� the�kind�of�music�that you can’t turn off. I stumbled home one night not too� long�ago,� listening�to�The�Fields�“Sound�of�Light”�EP, though tierd as I was I thought it was too good to pause. I remember banging my head for a minute be-fore I woke up the morning after. “Looping State of Mind” is Axel Willner’s third al-bum�as�The�Field�and�has�evolved�a�lot�from�the�pre-vious releases but it’s still has that indistinguishable The�Field� sound.�The�first� track,� “Is�This�Power”,�got�a�subtile�bass�that�reminds�me�of�The�Embassy�before�everything except a “post-punkish” bass drops of for a minute. Willner’s using more loops than ever which makes “Looping State of Mind” a very ample recording full�of�different�layers.�Which�songs�like�“It’s�Up�There”�and “Arpeggiated Love” reveals.�����The�slower�tracks�“Then�it’s�White”�and�“Sweet�Slow�Baby” round off the album in a manner more similar to tracks like “Sun & Ice” from the “From Here We Go Sub-lime”�record.�The�seven�track�long�album�is�as�much�a�gorgeous piece of art as a dance music recording which never� let� you�of� the�hook.�Turn�up� the� volume,� close�your eyes and enjoy.•
