WFMU: Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza: Playlist from October 3, 2022

Listener comments!
	12/14/20 3:02pm Ken's Last Ever: Here we are and here we will be. Hi!
	12/14/20 3:04pm fred: Good afternoon Kenzo and listeners. And hello to my future self who might read this someday
	12/14/20 3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hi, fred, someday!
	12/14/20 3:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Well, this is something new
	12/14/20 3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I guess the inside joke is that WTJU just played a whole week of classical music.
	12/14/20 3:25pm fred: I never saw a dance collage, but there was some layering in a piece where the dancers introduced the miming moves in classical dance while saying the meaning out loud, then performed them again and again, slowly shifting what they were saying to be unrelated to the movement they were doing. It worked amazingly well, at least for me. Noé Soulier was the choreographer
	12/14/20 3:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Nice. I once (I really wish I'd done it more) did a live video mixing collage projected over live improvising dancers, while I was also making live audio college. The video source material was of the dancers dancing. It was a feat, and it was beautiful, and nobody watching grokked that I was doing anything live, let alone all of it, and unplanned. Too smooth, sometimes.
	12/14/20 3:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My great regret is that I asked someone else to do the recording of the event (point a camera at the whole thing), because I figured I already had quite enough hands full, and the silly person zoomed in on the dancers the whole time and cropped out the entire projected video, WTF.
	12/14/20 3:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The sad moral of Ken's Last Ever is: DIY
	12/14/20 3:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (Feb. 2, 2005, no useful document exists.)
	12/14/20 3:35pm fred: To be honest, I tend to ignore the video projections (Merce Cunningham sometimes added stick figures that were too much like him asserting his control over dancers as puppets). Was it like Sol LeWtt's film for Lucinda Childs' Dance? (meaning different angles of the same thing the dancers were doing) Or was there a lag?
	12/14/20 3:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I was using recordings I'd made of these dancers earlier. So, it was a lot like my audio work, but with video.
	12/14/20 3:37pm fred: LeWitt did too. Did you use the recordings at roughly the same point in the live performance, or did you mix things up?
	12/14/20 3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It was just a live improv, so there was no conscious attempt to sync them up with what was going on (which itself was improvised, so probably didn't really match the video content anyway). My subconscious was likely seeking interesting juxtapositions.
	12/14/20 3:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The stereo in this show is freaking me out (read this comment in exactly one hour)
	12/14/20 3:43pm fred: I remember now something that was more like collage: Ambra Senatore did a piece where short phrases were rearranged to completely change the impression. From a summer picnic between friends to a murder and many nonsensical or mundane things. All by shuffling the order of those basic phrases
	12/14/20 3:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I have the GTDR version playing from one device, the WTJU version playing behind me, and the live version playing in front of me, and I keep THINKING I know what I'm doing and then being surprised
	12/14/20 4:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Doing this show (in this semi-overlap-station era) is the closest to living one of the time-travel nightmare stories I love. My time-brain gets really wonderfully confused. Heart rate up.
	12/14/20 4:14pm fred: Is there another live playlist somewhere? Where are the other listeners? It's getting weird
	12/14/20 4:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I've got a list up in front of me that reminds me what time it is and I've got enough practice to understand 1/4 in my body what's going on now. This is The Playlist.
	12/14/20 4:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Sometimes I accidentally forget it Wasn't the playlist. But I know that it Is the playlist.
	12/14/20 4:26pm fred: I heard that one before. Was it on last year's premium?
	12/14/20 4:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, DVD 3. Would this be the appropriate place to explain/semi-apologize for which episode I chose for this year's CD? Assuming you picked it? Did you? I'm happy with the work I did on it but I did accidentally chose an episode that had already appeared (in unedited form) on DVD 3, which had been a mistake and then it was too late to go back.
	12/14/20 4:33pm fred: I did get it, though I didn't exactly pick it. I haven't listened to the edit yet. I prefer to listen while walking at night, and I've been stuck home most of the year, with curfew in force when allowed out. So I have a huge backlog to go through
	12/14/20 4:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Lockdown casualty, no listening time!
	12/14/20 4:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I removed what was likely the most annoying part of the original, but also of course about 200 excruciatingly tiny little edits to finally shave the thing down to exactly 80 minutes and then 2 more seconds when I realized that was needed, which took another time and emotional toll.
	12/14/20 4:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The happy moral of Ken's Last Ever is: Improvise, don't edit
	12/14/20 4:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): But I meant to pick a different episode that was new since DVD 3!
	12/14/20 4:38pm fred: I know it's weird, but true for me. Lockdown got me behind on listening and reading. Too much work, and I miss the in-between time of commuting, which is neither home nor work, hence free somehow. I used to walk on my way back to get more of it
	12/14/20 4:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yeah, I lost subway/biking time when I moved out of the city, and now lose almost all "no work now please, self" time with less forced leave-house time
	12/14/20 4:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Forced leave-the-house would've been the better direction
	12/14/20 4:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Here's the part where the stereo confused me, made me kept turning to the left to see what was there.
	12/14/20 4:48pm fred: Also, I don't have a phone, so commuting was when I could listen to a WFMU premium. Live radio is to tempting My left ear doesn't work much, so I'm basically immune to stereo confusion
	12/14/20 4:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): No phone is good phone
	12/14/20 4:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Glad you were here today, fred, and also the silent others, who I see in other ways, and nod graciously in your invisible directions.
	12/14/20 4:52pm fred: Was this some kind of experiment where each one had their personal playlist?
	12/14/20 4:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): What do you mean?
	12/14/20 4:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, I'll say yes.
	12/14/20 4:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Everyone was in their own time zone.
	12/14/20 4:57pm fred: I wouldn't put it beyond your skills to handle several playlist chats at once. You've done it before And it's fitting for these isolated times
	12/14/20 4:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Reminds me of the 80's chat years
	12/14/20 4:59pm fred: Thanks Kenzo, it was weird though
	3:00pm spodiodi: greetings, Kenzo and all
	3:00pm Jan Turkenburg: I am curious about the clash of the classics. Hi Kenzo and friends!
	3:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Classy, Jan. Welcome, spodiodi. Hi, fred?
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	3:06pm fred: Hi Kenzo, listeners, and past fred. I remember that show, it was weird being the only one commenting
	3:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The whole show was made for you. Hi, doctorjazz!
	3:08pm fred: I see I mentioned Noé Soulier back then. I saw him again last month
	3:09pm doctorjazz: I'm honored!
	3:13pm Charles: I'm very much enjoying this Ken!
	3:15pm spodiodi: ☀️
	3:16pm doctorjazz: They Might Be Giants, love them!
	3:18pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Kenzo! For those who want to know How Do I Learn .. it's here: blog.wfmu.org...
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I've got a much fuller ID for How Do I Learn than was on the blog. It's Edward Carini & Maria Callas of Scholastic, from a filmstrip called Kindle: How Do I Learn? wfmu.org...
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I love Portsmouth Sinfonia
	3:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Glad, Charles! Welcome!
	3:36pm Webhamster Henry: 2005 .. hmm must check my calendar!
	4:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks for recent pledges to this show from Paul. and Rob!
	4:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Coincident Symphony from 2004
	4:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): There'll be a goodbyes tribute portion of this episode, fitting as I'm probably saying goodbye any day now.
	4:43pm fred: You've been saying goodbye for decades, it's part of what the show is, has been, will be
	4:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): With authenticity
	4:55pm spodiodi: 🙏 thanks, Kenzo ☀️ you roll the nickles
	5:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks, everyone!
