Winnipeg¹s Allan Conroy [aka not half] began making audio experiments in 1983. He developed an obsession for radios, tape-loops, squeaky sounds and unusual acoustic phenomena,
all recorded to tape in a largely improvised fashion. Acquiring samplers in 1992, he began to sample this comprehensive body
of work, a project which continues to the present day. not half frequently uses anything and everything to make sounds, either exclusively or combined with other working methods.

I8U¹s audio art can be understood as sound-sculpture.
It reveals powerful, opaque and complex sound environments
where analog and digital meet. Her web art can be said to follow
a parallel path, intertwining both musical and visual elements.
From classical music to blues, it took only one chance meeting
with David Kristian to get her involved in electronic music.
This is I8U¹s second visit to Send + Receive.

and dance and has given concerts around the world. In the past several years Kahn has exhibited several sound installations.
