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.]

August 23, 2017: Laughter Brings You Closer (to the) | Download full MP4
Today, we'll hear two parts in one of an endlessly self-referential pair of long-ago Ken's Last Ever radio shows from Austin, TX, and type together about it/us/anything.
First half, "Surely Laughter Brings You Closer to the Guy (I think the cat just fell: Should I go (a way)?)," 2005's next to last show of a two-year series. Two years in one hour, and endless phone calls.
Second half, "Layered Laughter Brings New Closure to the Guy (She doesn't believe it was a cat. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it happens all the same. (always transforming and again))," the dramatic conclusion of all shows (a.k.a. last ever).

After the bath, when I could walk again, after my shift at the coop, I met a person I've seen on the bus a number of times on my way to work at the other coop. I take the bus until next week because someone smashed my bike in half and hurt my body and left me mangled in the road at 1:00 am, after a long night of work at a shelter, at the very end of April. April is the cruelest month. The person walked up to me and said, "I see you on my bus all of the time and I've wanted to meet you". I said, "Okay". He held out his hand to me and said," My name's Happy, what's yours?". "Lily", I said. "I like your name!", I said. "I like yours too", he said. "Maybe I'll get to talk more with you someday", I said. "I'm sure that will be the case" He said. My friend is likely giving me a bike next week as I pass through Seattle. I have only ridden a bike once in 4 months, the longest I've ever gone without riding since I first got a bike in childhood. I also miss dancing. I really hope that I am able to dance again. What is life without dancing, without bikes? It is a difficult place to laugh from, but my old self reminded me of how, but first I had to fill the bath with tears. It is so strange that the person I was said, "There's a cough that won't go away". It did go away, and why couldn't I even temporarily own it? Don't most people say, "I have a cough that won't go away, that lingers"? Even so, the thing that strikes me is that it did go away. I no longer find the guy calming. I don't know about inflating or deflating egos. I guess they're penetrable, which allows for like their inhale and exhale? Even with all of this pain, and beauty, and everything, life still feels a little see-through, like it's not totally happening. Or maybe that's just the cumulative trauma talking. I hope that you're well and happy! Maybe, now I'm the wall. :) | |
