About
Umbel is the third in a series of photo/music projects by Scott Morgan, aka loscil. Presented as a photo zine in tandem with an album of music (CD & digital), Umbel follows previous offerings Faults, Coasts, Lines and Lux: Refractions, combining photography and long form electronic music. Umbel, the zine, collects a series of full colour photos taken in the dwindling light of dusk under a blossoming maple tree. Long exposures capture painted light and a shadowy canopy under a dimming sky. The images are gestural and murky, with light layered and smeared. The music is similarly removed from real time: synthesized passages are looped, layered, and repeated, feeding back into themselves to form a contracting density.
