Pop music, speeches, live phone calls and spontaneous monologues become ambient loopy layered threads riding the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming. [On hiatus.] (Visit homepage.)

My introduction to OK Computer was when the record label sent two copies of the record to my station, and I laid one on each turntable during my show and started live-looping between the two. It was months before I ever heard the album "plain," and was a bit disappointed.
