> SCANT INTONE - http://www.panospria.com
> Scant Intone was born and raised in a strange little place called Saskatoon
> in the Canadian prairies. He has been active in the electronic arts since
> the mid-90s as an artist, designer, DJ and producer of unusual music. After
> traveling and living abroad for various lengths of time he has now settled
> temporarily in Montreal. Current projects include operating the Panospria
> label with longtime friend Gyges, booking a monthly showcase for experimental
> music and recording solo and collaborative projects, which includes works for
> various labels as well as audio-art installations.

> SAWAKO - http://www.troncolon.com
> Tokyo/New York sound sculptor Sawako uses field recordings, mixer feedback,
> DSP and more to create works of place and time, and quiet personality. Her
> work sometimes has a nostalgic intimacy. She understands the value of dynamics
> and the power in silence. She did live performances in Batofar (Paris),
> Tonic (NYC), Resonance FM (London), Offsite (Tokyo) and many other venues
> around the world. She has collaborated with Andrew Deutsch, Howard Stelzer,
> HYPO, Kenneth Kirschner, STRATEGY, Taku Sugimoto, Taylor Deupree,
> Toshimaru Nakamura and others. Her first album "Yours Gray" was
> released in summer of 2004 and her second album will be released on
> 12k this winter.

> You can say it all started when my mother gave me a cheap plastic portable
> cassette recorder in 1977. I used to take it with me everywhere I went and
> do these little "pause button" mixes. I would record things in the car on a
> Sunday family drive, in restaraunts, in the park , etc. etc. Later on my
> mother bought me a "Sears" electric guitar and amplifier with which I had no
> interest in playing in a conventional manner so I would sit in front of the
> amp and turn everything up to 10 and do crazy feedback stuff until I tired
> of it (or my ears could no longer take it). Fast forward to the late 1980's
> when I got into all sorts of experimental electronic music, free jazz,
> downtown N.Y. No Wave,etc. etc. I played in different "free noise" bands for
> a while but couldn't really find many people who were on the same page as me
> so I purchased a 4-track and began doing experiments with field recordings,
> guitar, & electronics. Eventually I started up a small cassette label called
> Jill*Off and began trading tapes with many people involved in the
> "home taping" scene of the early to mid 90's. I stopped the label in
> 1996 to pursue "higher education" and received a degree in audio engineering
> at the Institute of Audio Research in N.Y.C. When I finished school I began
> experimenting with computer music and field recordings and generally
> following what's going in on the world of technology. Things evolve so
> quickly that I just can't imagine how "computer music" will progress in the
> near future but I'm sure I'll still be doin' my thang... I am currently
> running the label Shadow Puppet Recording Company wich is mostly an outlet
> to release my own work as well as collaborations with fellow sound artists.
