_label_statement

The dryest and subtlest wine of noise music, is what Scant Intone offers in Brico003. Sound planes that might be
cousin territory somewhere between Iannis Xenakis and Christian Fennesz, where a fascinating breed of 'cute-noise'
fairies hum entranced buzzing and bubbling tunes, rendering most delicately their harsh and granular environment.
This recording is an excerpt from a live performance at AKA Gallery in Saskatoon on December 26th, 2003 and offers
a glimpse of Scant Intone aka Constantine Katsiris' (www.panospria.com) musical direction during that year.
The title is derived from writings by Søren Kierkegaard.

This recording is an excerpt from a live performance at AKA Gallery in Saskatoon on December 26th, 2003.
The pieces themselves offer a glimpse of my musical direction during that year, which moved further into
abstract territory. The title is derived from writings by Søren Kierkegaard.

Many thanks to Schurmz, Jon & Carrie, my family and friends for their support and inspiration.

_artist_bio

Constantine Katsiris embarked on his mission to explore the electronic arts in the early 1990s, when he received
his first computer as a young middle school student. Through his discoveryof the local BBS scene he was exposed
to ansi/ascii art and tracker modules, and obsessively educated himself as to the techniques and processes of
these mediums.

As a teenager drawing ansi/ascii logos gave way to graffiti art, and turntables and synthesizers were integrated
to accompany his computer in the music creation process. During that time he chose the alias Khanfucius and began
to DJ a selection of abstract beats and ambient soundscapes in local nightclubs, raves and other events. His
active involvement in the local underground scene spawned two major projects; the event production company
Uninhibited Sound System with other DJ peers and the electronic improvisation ensemble, Mandelbrot Set. Both
projects enjoyed considerable success over the following years as they performed and organized shows with other
electronic acts from around the world.

In need of a change of surroundings and pace of life, Constantine decided to moveto Ireland in 1999 to travel
and record various projects with friends Amanda Schurman and Ruairi Matthews. Prior to leaving Saskatoon, he
compiled his first solo album, The Phuzzillogikal Basement Tapes, which was a collection of melodic ambient
and downtempo breakbeat tracks that received goodreviews at home and abroad. One such review lead to contact
with Keith Downey,a radio DJ in Dublin who has gone on to establish Psychonavigation Records and release works
by Constantine and his Canadian associates in the Panospria collective.

They returned to Canada after many months on hiatus, and Constantine was introduced to Jon Vaughn through their
friend Carrie Gates. He sites this influential meeting as a major turning point, as Jon became primary collaborator
on many of the projects, concepts and experiments that were to follow. Constantine and Amanda departed Saskatoon
in 2001 to study and enjoy life in Montreal. Since then his focus has been fixed on his experimental music and
sound-art project, Scant Intone.

Once in Montreal, Constantine and Amanda were joined by more prairie expatriates including Paul Keeley and the
Panospria net-label was launched to disseminate their works. He was recently invited to be a core member in
the Phoniq collective, whose projects include hosting monthly deep listening events and starting a national
mailing list for electronic music. Upcoming solo and collaborative projects include works for various labels
and audio-art installations.
