Scott Morgan's extended piece named after a steamship lost on Lake Superior in 1902 arrives as something unexpectedly muted and aqueous — a slow accumulation of weight and stillness pressing down on a place. Synthesizers drift in gradual overlapping layers, wet and low, carrying the dense grey weight of snowy weather over open water. The piece fits naturally within Morgan's Vancouver-based practice of treating electronic music as a kind of slow hydrology, where tension builds through patience rather than drama. History rendered as deep time.
