A live, improvised sound collage experiment, going back 28 years, weaving mesmerizing new soundscapes from found and collected materials right in the present moment.
Pop music, speeches, live phone calls and spontaneous monologues become ambient loopy layered threads riding the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming. [On hiatus.]

Then today they are using parts that are as though tapes, adjusted to have additional or different capabilities. Although the show did not begin with computers, they are still in essence tape machines!! : ) :)

One of the many awarenesses i have learned from regularly listening and experiencing to your show is to try to appreciate how films created earlier have so much insight about how the present aspects of today's world interact, it often feels magnetic, where the distance within the mediums of time would pull on itself in many ways.

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):
"There is always much to appreciate about your oeuvre and one can also say that when there are more than a few messages being transmitted at once, even a quality mind starts to crack under the pressure of simultaneous streams and while the net effect is much like "real life" in its cacophony and multiplicity the end result is a kind of attack and the loss of insight and wisdom.
Serenity was sacrificed at the very beginning.
For some of course there is finally a transmutation and an understanding while for others there are too many channels and one might say, noise, at which point coherence might bring relief."
