Drew McDowall is a Scottish NYC based composer and musician. He was a member of Coil in the 1990’s contributing heavily to some of their most respected and influential works. As well as his solo work he has collaborated with Kali Malone, Caterina Barbieri, Robert Aki Aubrey Lowe, Hiro Kone, Varg, Puce Mary, Shapednoise and Rabit.
History
McDowall formed art-punk trio Poems in 1978 with his then-wife, Rose McDowall. During the 1980s, McDowall was a member of Psychic TV. McDowall performed with Coil regularly for several years, becoming an official member in 1994.
After moving to New York in the early 2000's he created Compound Eye, a collaborative project with the Tres Warren of Psychic Ills.
Starting in 2012 McDowall started to concentrate on solo works, releasing four albums under his own name and touring North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
Beginning in 2018 he has toured a live AV reinterpretation of Coil's seminal drone work, Time Machines, at festivals across the world.
In May 2023 Dais Records released Lamina, a 6 CD retrospective box set of his work.
