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.]

Ken | Young lovers monologue | 2019 |
Everywhere I go, people are talking. They're just talking. I'm not sure if they're talking about anything. Last night, they talked and talked, up into an almost frenzied anxiety. And suddenly, there wasn't any talking. Suddenly, it was very sudden, no talking at all. I thought maybe I heard...liquidy sounds...touching, sticking, rubbing...sounds of contact... It cast the talking in a new light. Maybe they didn't want to be talking at all. I wondered what that transitional moment looked like. Who began it? And had that been the plan all along? Or was it just a plan for one of them? Maybe one of them really wanted to talk. The other one just wanted to feel. So they implicitly agreed to do both, take turns. They closed the door. Not for very long. It wasn't much longer. And then she showed him to the door, and said goodnight. I didn't notice that he said anything. It didn't seem like they talked about it. I'm not sure how they felt. Satisfied, tired, desirous, in a trance, finished, infinite. They've been here for about 20 years. Maybe they'll be here for another 60 more. I wonder what else they'll find to talk about. And what ways they'll find to move together. And who else they'll find out that they are. And how often will they feel complete, how often will they be striving, how often will they feel infinite. Maybe everything they know will be gone. And they'll be learning anew. They'll be adapting. And they'll be regressing. They'll be playing games, designed to keep them comfortable, and to relive their childhood, to relive their twentyhood. Maybe they'll always remember this night. Maybe he'll remember everything that was said. Maybe she'll remember everything that was felt. Or maybe only you'll remember. I'm waiting up for you. I'm sitting around the corners. I'm off in the edges. I'm just waiting quietly. And I'm witnessing with curiosity, with kindness. I'm also trying to figure it all out. Maybe I'll be here for 60 more years. And maybe I'll remember this, and what was said, and what was felt. Thank you for witnessing. |

Ken | Constrasts to simplicity. Up all night waiting in the shadows | 2019 | I said good morning as she came from her morning run with her dog. The sun was behind her, rising. She glistened.
