integrating sampling into his playing, at first with hardware sampling
units; later using the computer and live sampling software. Kahn was a
guest of STEIM (Studio for Electro Instrumental Music) in Amsterdam,
working there on combining STEIM's interactive sampling program LiSa
with live drumming.  Over several trips to Japan Kahn has performed with
Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, Taku Sugimoto, Tetuzi Akiyama, Utah
Kawasaki, Uchihashi Kazuhisa and Koji Asano. In 1997 Kahn formed the
project "Repeat" with no-input mixing board player Toshimaru Nakamura.
Repeat has toured both Japan and Europe several times as well as
releasing three CDs to critical acclaim.  While living in Berlin Kahn
was from 1994-99 a member of American composer Arnold Dreyblatt's
(http://www.dreyblatt.net/)ensemble The Orchestra of Excited Strings,
performing in installations, multi-media pieces and concerts. Kahn has
also composed music for theater, dance and sound installations (most
recently: http://www.klangturm.at)  Kahn currently lives in Zürich,
where he curates a series of concerts for new improvised and electronic
music, "sonique serie." He started the "cut" label in 1996, releasing 
to date five CDs.
