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.)

The good old days when I thought Dubya was the worst president that could ever get into office
(got a few brief dropouts here)
Avatar 5:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Switched network, should be solid from now on

Hi Fred! Yeah.. as in not working! Enjoying my home town in Summer style. ;)
Avatar 5:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, Bas! I can't think of a better place than to talk about freedom in one of the greatest halls of freedom.
Avatar 5:36pm northguineahills:

This sounds like a buddy comedy.....Someone cast it , George & Adolf!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:36pm fred:

I think I saw a dance show set to this Glass piece. Then again, they tend to all sound the same to me
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:36pm Bas NL:

War and peace have always been on the lips of just a view.

We have another KOOP alum on the stream, Little Danny of The Cool Blue Flame, Thursdays 10pm-midnight ET.
Avatar 5:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Ah, the hopeful segment as the end of this hour draws nearer
Avatar 5:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Everybody dance! Like in a Philip Glass Buddy Comedy with every president and everyone who ever decided to vote for a president.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:40pm Bas NL:

It's Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass. I think they indeed did a dance to it. But it also goes with a great film.
Avatar 5:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

My 2003 playlist says "Sounds like hot dog music from Koyaanisqatsi"
Avatar 5:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Presumably from the hot dog factory scene of my memory
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:42pm Bas NL:

Mow there's a clue! ;)
Avatar 5:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hal Hartley, Hans Zimmer's Carl Orff knock-off, space suits
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:44pm fred:

If there was a dance show set to Koyaanisqatsi, I didn't see it, so it's just a case of Glass repeating himself
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:45pm Bas NL:

Serial musician..
Avatar 5:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Fridge (my playlist says, "Blended Hans Zimmer piece into this, sort of Steve Reich-ifying it")
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:50pm fred:

Even in Lucinda Childs' case, I like Available Light (with John Adams) better than the more acclaimed Dance (with Glass)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:53pm Rich in Washington:

I love that all accordion Philip Glass cover album by What Capitalism Was.
Avatar 5:54pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Next half hour (2001: A War Odyssey) is a speedshift remix of this episode plus 2001 eeriness
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:56pm Bas NL:

Bring it on!
Avatar 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm not waiting for the whole body evidence to come in
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:01pm Bas NL:

We can't handle the truth.
