Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza: Playlist from May 16, 2018

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.)

Listener comments!

5:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

What do you expect?

♥ 5:03pm fred:

I should be asleep, but this sounds too good

5:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

It put someone else to sleep uncontrollably after 48 minutes, and then disoriented them back awake.

♥ 5:06pm fred:

You mean I'm listening to a new show? Suddenly I feel like I should be at a show somewhere

♥ 5:06pm northguineahills:

blurple, my favorite color!

5:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

fred, just pretend it's old

5:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

ngh, just pretend it's gold

5:08pm possibilitywaves:

Ken!! I was able to listen earlier today! I find it to be a very potent listen, enough i think to last for more than a year into the future, though I will hear more and add to that! I am not sure how to thank you enough, but hopefully this show thanked you for itself: you might have surely been able to experience many of the natures of this collage!

5:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

possibilitywaves, so glad for your diving into richness and may it overflow into spring cracks

♥ 5:09pm fred:

I don't have time for that, I'm too busy pretending I'm not as old as I am

5:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

possibilitywaves: The making and the listening are such different gifts, and I'm only now in the latter

5:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Bloopy loops from Noel + Nada Surf guitar loops + Jack Kornfield loving kindness + disco Also Sprach Zarathustra

5:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Nods to Being There (use of disco) & Walter Murch in general (esp. Return to Oz and THX-1138)

♥ 5:16pm northguineahills:

I'm fine w/ as old as I am, I just don't want to remind my missus (who's 7 years my junior). I still go out, but sleep is but a dream (except weekends).

♥ 5:17pm fred:

Zarathustra, Nietzsche are making me so sleepy. I'm a Wittgenstein freak

♥ 5:20pm northguineahills:

I dated a girl once b/c she had a Wittgenstein book on her desk. That was a mistake, but I got to keep the book!

5:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

What went wrong?

5:21pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

omg I love live mixing I just love it

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

What's more important, loving humans or mixing sounds?

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

Oh there was a caller right here, but I couldn't get her to agree to be on the air. She had a lot to say about this "CD"

5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

She wanted to hear the loving kindness talking better

♥ 5:27pm northguineahills:

Uhhh, she was a psycho, and cheated on me a few times, and pretty much only used me a presentable bf for her mother. The silver lining is, I was so devastated that I went on to myspace, did a search for Jodorowsky and Deerhoof (I was drunk), and found my now wife. It took two months for her to respond, but a few months after that, I made friends w/ a musician who was touring NYC (Antigua Automatico Mexicano) who lived in her city (Monterrey, Mexico), and hooked me and my dj partner up w/ gigs there. The rest is history.

5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hooray for what we learn from psychos

♥ 5:29pm fred:

Which book was that?

♥ 5:32pm northguineahills:

@fred: "Philosophical Investigations"

♥ 5:32pm fred:

Now's when I have to turn the volume super low, which is annoying (the high school/college REM trip is too)

♥ 5:32pm northguineahills:

I actually love both the Tape Beatles & REM.

5:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I always hated this song but I like it with isolation

5:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Epic: R.E.M. guitar + Led Zeppelin vocals + meditation guru

5:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Sorry fred

5:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I love R.E.M., but have lower tolerance as their years went later

♥ 5:37pm fred:

@ngh: PI is really good, mind-blowing if you add the cut/paste side. What would that have that guy done with our tech? I once met a couple of girls because I was reading the Tractatus.

5:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hello, DeemerDave!

♥ 5:41pm fred:

@Kenzo: I like early REM, but my resentment for the later stuff tends to creep earlier. That's my problem, not REM's

5:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm irritated a little at Document, more at Green, and then I just fall

5:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

But this year I've been giving later stuff a chance, especially after that transitional period in the 90's passes

5:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I sneeze

♥ 5:46pm Rand al'Thor:

I arrive with Data.

5:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rand, and Max Headroom

♥ 5:48pm Rand al'Thor:

Hello, all!

♥ 5:48pm fred:

Document is weird for me. Nobody else in my high school had that record, so that marked me as a weirdo, but also got me some respect. New Order worked too. I guess that set me on the path to WFMU, but those early steps are embarrassing

♥ 5:51pm northguineahills:

Considering I didn't listen to REM until the 90s, and only found their early work a few years later.

5:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

But here embarassment amplifies

♥ 5:56pm fred:

Sure, but I don't care anymore. For instance, I like Dolly Parton, and I don't care how much shade I get from that

♥ 6:01pm fred:

Dust To Digital looks to have pretty great releases coming up next month

♥ 6:01pm northguineahills:

I love Dolly. I got to shake her hand when I was 17 (marched in a parade at Dollywood w/ my HS marching band). She was charming AF!

6:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Dolly Parton turns out to be the unifying link?

♥ 6:04pm coelacanth∅:

6:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Time? Eating?

6:08pm Ian!:

@5.:51 - you have an embarrassment amplifier? AC or battery?

♥ 6:08pm Rich in Washington:

I'm here to listen...

6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Rich, you've missed an endless sea of Walter Murch pontifications

♥ 6:09pm fred:

I'll grant both: this show is good at time eating

6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Embarassment pre-amp

♥ 6:10pm Rich in Washington:

I've been listening, but too busy/lazy to type anything until now.

♥ 6:10pm northguineahills:

Hola ¡Ian!

6:10pm Ian!:

Multiply by two and convert to the next higher unit. If you think "two hours", bill for "four days".

Radio Silents, the plural of Radio Silent.

6:13pm Ian!:

I am not an audients. There is only one of me. I am an audient. Hear me.

6:14pm possibilitywaves:

The feedback sound that happened a few times, felt to me to be the sound of the human spirit waking up and filling with the opposite of embarrassment, an eyes glowing at night type of certainty and fullness!

6:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Ian!s

6:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

possibilitywaves: I removed the biggest instance of that from the archive. Too rattling for the headphones

6:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Too big a portal to record

6:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

♥ 6:21pm northguineahills:

I'm half deaf in my left ear (born like that, and ruptured my tympanic membrane as a kid), but oddly enough, it's the best ear for detecting perfect pitch. Of course, now days, my tinnitus creeps on me anyways.

6:22pm possibilitywaves:

I was in the hospital for a month after being born so i think i connect with that type of basic soundwave in a specific way! I am not certain what was there, but there must have been some sound-producing devices around.

6:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Mmm pw interesting theory, I'll ponder

♥ 6:24pm fred:

I almost died before seeing Glenn Branca for the first time: as I got on a train, my sleeve got caught on something. I couldn't get in, the train left the station and I was stuck. I was thrown off on a foot wide stretch between the track and a railing, to screaming bystanders. I took the next train, got to the venue in time for Branca's wall shaking 8th symphony. Still, a close call. On Halloween, to boot

6:24pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Clothes are dangerous

6:25pm Ian!:

It was a very clothes call.

6:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

OK, this part is giong to be impossible to playlist

♥ 6:27pm fred:

I'm half deaf too. My leaf ear is just a placeholder after 6 surgeries. I can't listen to anything on headphones, it'd be a waste of time

6:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

My right ear hears little. So there it is, it's not Dolly Parton that connects us after all

6:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

We crave all this extra sound to make up for the half we don't hear

6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Some of this show is indirectly about The Conversation

♥ 6:32pm fred:

Interesting that the half we don't hear isn't the same

The Conversation is a great movie!

@fred, since becoming and adult, I thankfully have never had a near death situation via a train, thankfully, but as a kid in Japan, it's a miracle I didn't become pink mist on the tracks multiple times (I'm not the brightest person and lack common sense).
