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.

April 25, 2018: Limits (taking care) (Show #586) | Download full MP3
Brand new collage today, full of strange, lazy, loopy studies, meditations on saying no, phone calls from Canada, and a happy ending.
"I feel like this show was created for me. So many reminders I needed to hear and feel. Gifts. Practice it over and over and over."
"Such a gently aggressive meditation."
"This was a nice one."
"I'm listening to your Last Ever Radio Show for the First Time, and I'm falling more and more in love with it with every passing moment. Your monologues are delightfully hypnotic. Thank you so much for doing this beautiful work(/p l a y). It's incredible."
Hear it online anytime!
