Winnipegšs 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.

I8Ušs 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 I8Ušs second visit to Send + Receive.
