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.)

For those who'd like some less mystery in their lives, these Wednesday WFMU GTDR broadcasts are often (unedited) playbacks of my live radio show that happened on WTJU radio just two days ago. That's why you can time travel within the show. But you can't call in live today. You'll hear Monday callers.

That said, it still gets pretty mysterious.

Avatar 4/3/19 5:22pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Where it gets more confusing is some of the callers weren't from Monday, because there are so many past collages within today's collage, each of which contain earlier collages, and possibly later ones.
