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.]

Two classic 1-hour collages. (Some scary parts this week!)

* Moody loops, live phone callers, hyperventilation, hysterics
2) "The Retina of the Mind's Eye" (The battle for the mind of North America.)
* Catchy, spooky, and lots of screaming
