Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s avatar View Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s profile Favoriting

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.)

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I had to do those sign-off announcements in the midst of the end instead of afterwards because there was no way to know when the automatic switch would flip us over from KOOP to KVRX (inaccurate clock). I'd keep radio on behind me to find out if we'd gone off the air (over to the other station instead) and were now only sending to the internet and my one-day-replay-on-WFMU's-GTDR recording.

Franco Twinkie:

Oh yes! That is why Alan Watts is so compelling after all these years. The duality, or load of malarkey, depending on your own state of mind at the time.

why is it that we always get to hear Alan Watts and we never get to hear Rd Laing???
Avatar 6:11pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@CC Seeking non-deterministic answer to your query
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:11pm
Franco Twinkie:

Maybe RD Laing wasn't as self possessed as Mr. Watts. It takes a lot of self regard to do such a thorough job of self preservation for the ages.

Nice! A show that is a set of earlier shows, one of which includes clips from ever earlier ones. Are you preparing for a fractal show?
Avatar 6:20pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Did he give speeches?
Avatar 6:21pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@fred You hadn't yet encountered one of these? They used to happen ~every 4-8 shows. The point being the entire thing is an interrelational fractal. Perhaps unconsciously inspired by childhood viewings of Monty Python's Flying Circus, episodes which seemed to reference some that hadn't happened yet.

Aren’t episodes referencing future episodes just episodes that are aired out of correct order?
