Mix introduction by Scott Morgan/Loscil:

"Whether conscious or not, water has long been an influential factor in my work.  There is something intangible, powerful, emotional, alluring and frightening about water.  With this mix, I thought I would explore if and how water has influenced other artists who I respect and admire.  A quick peruse of my music collection lead to the discovery of quite a few pieces that are somehow connected to water.  Be it rivers, streams, oceans or rainfall, it seems water is often an inspirational subject for many composers and this doesn't surprise me.  

I remember a conversation I had in university with a friend who was studying oceanography and fluid dynamics.  I had recently learned about the use of Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT's) in audio analysis.  My layman understanding of this was that FFT's allow for efficient analysis and resynthesis of audio data so that computers can better handle the vast amounts of sample data typically needed to represent and process digital audio.  Long story short, my friend (who had a much better understanding of the application of FFT's than I) revealed to me that they use the same process and similar math for analyzing tidal data.  What struck me about this was that if you look closely at things like sound waves or tidal patterns, etc., there are universal similarities - that almost everything can be boiled down to vibrations, oscillations, frequencies, etc.  Of course, there is much more to our relationship with water than just that.  We depend on it for life as does all life on this planet.  We also play in it, float on it and sometimes it destroys our homes or we drown in it.  Growing up on the west coast, many of my memories both fond and otherwise, somehow involve water, whether it be in the foreground or simply in the background.  It seems I'm not alone".
