Over the past twenty years, Canadian composer Loscil (Scott Morgan) has created one of the most compelling and consuming visions on post-ambient minimalism. His work is concerned with an intense interrogation of pulse, harmony, and texture. Calling upon these raw materials, Loscil creates vast and enveloping auditory transcriptions of landscapes, architecture, and his home on the Canadian west coast. On his latest album, Lake Fire (2025), he charts the smouldering intensities of British Columbia’s recent wave of wildfires, creating a suite of works that speak simultaneously to destructive forces and the periods of rebirth that follow.

Joining Loscil is Berlin based artist Ira Hadžić. Working with gongs, radiophonic forms, field recordings, resonance, minimal sonic gestures, and silence itself, she explores sound as a site of presence and perception.
