Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s avatar View Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s profile Favoriting

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.] (Visit homepage.)

Your ripples explode with flashlights?
Avatar 5:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, gloomsday! Here you are.
Avatar 5:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, Sandra! It's an Austin one this week. Filling in for Around the Town Sounds. Was only allowed to use Austin artists as my live remix sources.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:11pm gloomsday:

this is beautiful so far :)
  5:12pm Sandra:

oh wow. well I'm sure you'll do it well.
Avatar 5:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, I will have are going am to'ing.
Avatar 5:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oops it's not 23 years anymore
  5:21pm Bliss:

Had you been thinking about this project for long before you did the first show?
Avatar 5:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Nope, but I'd been doing it (combining records and TV's and noises and). But it didn't begin until the moment it did, with not one second of forethought. It was a Bill Cosby record skipping that pushed me over into knowing what was now happening.
Avatar 5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

In the college dorm I used to attempt to remix and combine what people were playing from their rooms by adding my own stuff strategically from my room.
  5:26pm Bliss:

That's funny.
Avatar 5:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Wes Anderson's voice here, from Rushmore, because he went to college in Austin, so I thought it counted.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:30pm gloomsday:

totally counts! i love it.
Avatar 5:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Also found a way to sneak Alan Watts in, since he's sampled by this Austin act
  5:39pm stonepossibly:

hi here
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:43pm gloomsday:

this is one of the most soothing afternoons i've had in a while, largely thanks to this show. i'm really feeling this <3
Avatar 5:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, possibleing
Avatar 5:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

They're used to backannouncing in this slot so I had to do it. Never feels right!
Avatar 5:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm glad, gloomspossibly
Avatar 5:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Umm don't call the # in 2018
Avatar 5:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The timeslot I was filling in for normally played exclusively local artists. Usually the whole track, all by itself!
Avatar 5:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I even had to play promos and underwriting spots IN THE MIDDLE of the collage
Avatar 5:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

WHOOPS this is the unedited version. how the heck did that happen
Avatar 5:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The copy I previewed 5 minutes before the show removed that commercial bit which is hopefully for a business that has long since gone under
Avatar 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Mmm lots of copies of drums
Avatar 6:05pm Carmichael:

Heya Kenzo and past people presently here or not.
Avatar 6:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I miss having only a 30-minute slot
Avatar 6:24pm still b/p:

Hm. Austin. Made me check when “Slackers” was made. Its date gave me a “whoa” moment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:25pm coelacanth∅:

you could play an hour-long drone for an hour and a 1/2, then you'll have a 30-minute slot. problem solved
Avatar 6:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I wouldn't sit still for that hour and a 1/2. That's how my show turned into this in the first place. Wait 3 minutes for a track to end???
Avatar 6:30pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, Rosalie, still b/p, coelacanth0
Avatar 6:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Austin was very slackery
Avatar 6:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Explosions in the Sky + Gwyneth Paltrow
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm coelacanth∅:

you could go have dinner... or practice your crossbow, or write a coloring book, or paint your car, or knit an elephant.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:43pm gloomsday:

that explosions in the sky!!
Avatar 6:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Little clips looped, various, backwards and forwards
Avatar 6:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

What would I do with the extra time after knitting the elephant is done?
Avatar 6:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Apparently through an chamber filter too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:47pm coelacanth∅:

it's exploded beyond its original space, into the sky
