MARK TEPPO's igloomag.com REVIEW ::
(07.04.06) Scott Morgan doesn't stray too far from the niche he's created with Loscil as Plume continues where First Narrows left off. Loscil still inhabits the dream-space of drones and micro-expression, a phantasmal realm where the crackle of dust and static vie with the subtle movement of atmospheric heartbeats and the pulsating rhythm of sunspot activity. You don't so much listen to a Loscil record as you succumb to its gravity well and fall into the endless iterations of its rhythmic universe.
A not entirely solo effort, Plume contains rhodes piano contributions from Jason Zumpano and ebow guitar from Krista Marshall -- contributions which form part of the organic evolution of "Rorschach" -- while Josh Lindstrom provides vibes and xylophone and Steve Wood bring ebow guitar to "Zephyr." These instruments give some form -- albeit still ghostly -- to Morgan's ethereal electronics. These tracks are wisps of smoke; strands of coalesced vapor that drift and evolve in circular motions but which still seem to never settle into a fully realized state. Morgan's ambience is the wind singing to you at the edge of your hearing. If you let it lull you, it fills your head with sonorous echoes; if you try to chase it and find its melodic core, it vanishes to the edge of your perception.
"Steam" is awash with the exhalations of mist, a gritty undercurrent that isn't quite static from an old vinyl record and isn't quite radio noise. The fragile wisps of ambience drift like a flowing wave beneath Zumpano's piano and the delicate chatter of wooden percussion like the faint tapping of bird beaks against the hollow boles of old trees. Lindstrom's vibraphone on "Chinook" plays the part of the wind in this aural painting, swooping and darting like its warm winter namesake across a pristine and trackless winter landscape. Summoning a time out of time, filled with light and gentle breezes, "Halcyon" rings with light tones while organ-like drones undulate against a light patter of electronics and percussion. Morgan's charm lies in his creation of organic pastorals through improvisational electronics and carefully layered live instrumentation. Songs like "Halycon" are bucolic odes to beatific ambient pastures. The final rondo of "Mistral" is another capricious breeze, a whispering voice of gentle vibraphone and piano over click-track glitch and languorous drones.
Plume is Morgan's ode to smoke, a collection of wandering ambience that is both fog and light. Venturing into more vaporous atmospheres than his previously aquatic-themed work, Plume is a record that unties you from gravity, frees you from the heavy weight of your ossifying bones. Loscil vibrates on a spiritual harmonic, his drones and static speak to your cellular structure while the layered instruments sing to your heart and brain. My whole body finds release with Plume.
