Scant Intone is the solo project of Constantine Katsiris dedicated to his
experiments in modern audio. The output varies from stark minimalist tones to densely complex textures with a sound palette that incorporates elements of field recordings, shortwave radio, handdrawn waveforms, raw data, and digital sound synthesis. Focused on researching psychoacoustics, the perception of sound, spatiality, and various audio phenomena discovered while exploring the frequency spectrum, his compositions are excursions in abstract electronic music with influences including ambient, lowercase, microsound, noise, and drone. Katsiris has brought his sound to many notable venues, such as Whitechapel Art Gallery [London], La Société des Arts Technologiques [Montréal], Brut Konzerthaus [Vienna], and SESI Art & Cultural Center [São Paulo].
Program Notes:
'Goodbye' is taken from a body of work titled 'Delay Line Memories'. For these works, I concentrated on exploring and exploiting glitches, errors and waveform anomalies. This piece in particular utilized digital feedback, granulation, spectral delay, DC offset and harmonic rotation. A selection of these pieces were released on Le Son 666, an independent label from Montreal focusing on experimental music.
