Adrift is a collection of 4 pieces of endless music by ambient musician loscil. The music uses structured random selection to continuously play with no beginning or end. The pieces were conceived as aural backdrops, seascapes of sound in which the listener is encouraged to drift in and out of; at times becoming focal points for deep listening and otherwise sinking into the subconscious. Each of the four pieces is named after an infamous ghost ship. Like the ships themselves, the music is adrift at sea, wandering with the tides, following the swells of the waves, aimless and lost.
Acoustic and electronic sources were recorded and produced as individual phrases and elements that the application selects and weaves together on the fly making each experience of the music slightly different. Adrift features original artwork by Gregory Euclide, compositions and production by Scott Morgan with musicians Kelly Wyse on piano, Mark Bridges on cello and Elisa Thorn on harp.
Pros and cons of Loscil - Adrift app for iPhone and iPad
Loscil - Adrift app good for
a long-overdue concept, the sort of thing only an app can do—all it needs is a sleep timer!
The music is beautiful! Well made, good app. I originally heard about this on a radio station (CJSW). Itd be cool if it would have updates in the future! The info about the ships is really cool! Worth every penny!!
Some bad moments
Works in background too. Thanks, this is a beautiful thing. Andrew / planet awesum
Wonderful app and concept, thank you Scott!
Its well worth exploring this app with your iOS device(s) connected to some external speakers that are well separated. In fact, if you have multiple iOS devices connected to separate speaker systems, for example an iPad wired to your stereo system, and an iPhone wirelessly connected to a Bose mini soundlink speaker, then play the track Bannockburn on both devices, the piece beautifully intermingles and weaves in and out of itself, filling the whole room with an almost 3D aural landscape.
"Adrift" takes the listener on a delicate and endless journey which is never the same twice. Put on a good set of headphones and let yourself get lost at sea.
Better than any sleeping pill and without any harsh side effects, these hypnotic ambient soundscapes will slowly seep into your unconscious, taking you on a dream-inducing journey across vast oceans of your mind. Simply brilliant! Not since Amps epic Ambient masterpiece "Perception" have I been so enchanted.
