A live, improvised sound collage experiment, going back 27 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. (Visit homepage.)

Is this from "Pi"? The Hebrew bit here?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:14pm listener james from westwood:

Wacky gemiatra stuff going on in that film.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:15pm fred:

I first read "electoral collage" instead of "electoral college"
Avatar 5:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, it's from Pi. And Wes Craven's New Nightmare. And Schoolhouse Rock Electoral College. And that Michael Moore movie.
Avatar 5:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

And Rhoda
Avatar 5:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, ifny!
Avatar 5:18pm northguineahills:

I knew it was "Pi", and I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes of it 15 years ago, and never got to finish it. I should do so.
  5:20pm melinda:

I thought I heard a bit of Rhoda
Avatar 5:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Pennsylvania governor candidate. Sound loops from the Nightmare on Elm Street #7. More Schoolhouse Rock

Avatar 5:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred: Erectoral collage?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:24pm fred:

I loved Pi at the time. Then again, I was deep into reading Wittgenstein for the first time at the time. I suspect it has not aged well (for me)
Avatar 5:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hi, ngh!
Avatar 5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Pi was practice for Requiem for a Dream

@Kenzo: when reading the show's comments column ("The electoral college will have the final voice...")
Avatar 5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Speaking of which, much of Black Swan was good/harrowing. It veers off later in the film with the introduction of an annoying character. But wonderfully claustrophobic otherwise.

Speaking of formats, someone I know will soon release a project including software that takes a WAV file and spit outs what MP3 removes: github.com...
A bit gimmicky, but funny to hear what got discarded

  5:58pm possibilitywaves:

fred that seems like a very exceptional invention and project!

Hello, possibilitywaves!

Moby, sounds like
  5:59pm possibilitywaves:

Hi Ken!!
Avatar 6:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The voice did not record
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:01pm fred:

Of course the first thing I did was feed its output into it and hear what happened along iterations. Sadly, it gets silent quickly (especially with voice, less so with percussion or pipa, the strong attacks MP3 squashes)
Avatar 6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

This second hour is at least WAV->128k MP3. First hour was 128k MP3->128k MP3.
  6:02pm possibilitywaves:

Yes, this is a show intro quite unlike any i have experienced yet!
Avatar 6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Ooh the show ending time is right
Avatar 6:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I gather from all that I see that there is a good deal of speculation and skepticism about whether I am who I am
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:04pm fred:

@possibilitywaves: try it and if you have any trouble contact me if you can't find the author's contact info
Avatar 6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I have a serious lack of recordkeeping about this episode. I wonder if I have handwritten notes/playlist in my files
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:06pm coelacanth∅:

hello Kenzo and last ever creatures
Avatar 6:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Welcome, coelacanth000
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:06pm fred:

How did you find that show? That might give a clue about companion documents
  6:08pm possibilitywaves:

Thank you very much fred! I sometime settle on mp3 for my own recordings to upload for streaming on archive.org, but, they can handle wave files.
Avatar 6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I mean, I have the date. It's in my database. There's just scant details.
Avatar 6:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I feel lazy to go looking for my paper notes but it's not like I would've been writing all these samples down.
Avatar 6:11pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Suddenly I'm having trouble remembering how I playlisted during that period. Computer forensics afterwards maybe...
Avatar 6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

How odd to not have a detailed memory of an evening 13 1/2 years ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:13pm fred:

Sure, but it's later than one (#324) for which you have details. It might be somewhere, just misplaced because of a disk swap or computer change at the time
Avatar 6:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

So many hard drives
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:20pm fred:

I guess you might not want to search for documents containing 9/11. That could get fed back to people who would misinterpret it
Avatar 6:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yes, such a safe and conservative show I run
Avatar 6:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I am happy to find this one! Carousel ride after eating too much cake
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm gloomsday:

sorry so quiet today; i'm listening and jamming on some projects at work. enjoying this very much though as always, kenzo.
Avatar 6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm eating ifny soup
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:26pm fred:

Man, you're replaying stuff from the dubya years. How conservative is that?
Avatar 6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Happy you're here
Avatar 6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Yeah I want people to give that period another chance
Avatar 6:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I guess this one is Carousel Ride After Too Much Cake (?)

I'm glad you found this show, it's a gem
Avatar 6:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I think it's gotta go on the upcoming DVD
Avatar 6:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Sometimes I'm shy about staying with the sound moment I like. This seemed to be one of those weeks where I just let it all be.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm ifny:

@fred intriguing project, thank you for sharing! Please tell your friend I think it's hawt. Or some other descriptor that makes me sound smurt.

Stuck in a meeting! Last Hello to Kenzo and everlasters.
Avatar 6:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@Carmichael: Welcome! This was a great pair today, you might want to listen to in the archive. One of my favorites in the first hour, and then one I've maybe never heard until now, which turns out to be a rich one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm ifny:

rich like soup
Avatar 6:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

How was everyone soup? 50 words or less.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm ifny:

@fred @Kenzo if you're searching for misinterpretable things, just use Tor Browser, or Tails, or add a bunch of numbers like a Keno card...?
