View Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s profile |
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.]

January 10, 2018: New Whirled Symphony (Show #566) | Download full MP3
First new show in ages, a gorgeously playful menagerie. From weeks, moments, emptiness, rejuvenation, confusions, spirits, hope, loves, angst, creation, relief, questions, came glorious absurd sonic beauty and laughter. I'm very proud of this week's mess(age).
Combining: Van Morrisson, Vangelis, Antonín Dvorák, Jim Steinman's bombastic Wagnerian 80's pop, Def Leppard, David Guetta & Sia, The Police, Ella Fitzgerald, Erasure, Escala, Matthew Mathis, Moby, Vincent Duseigne, Ogurusu Norihide, Fairuza Balk, Pink Floyd, Charlie Kaufman, Nicholas Cage, Claire Danes, Radiohead, Richard Stallman, Seconds, Lara Flynn Boyle, Twin Peaks, My So-Called Life, THX 1138, Donald Pleasence, WarGames, Matthew Broderick, Daniel J. Davis, Air Supply, Bonnie Tyler, Ingrid Bergman... and a lot more, in ways never previously imagined.
