Listener comments!
	8/9/17 5:01pm fred: Hi Kenzo. Again, it should be a short stay for me, but my judgment is poor, so who knows
	8/9/17 5:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Your judgment is unimpeachable, fred.
	8/9/17 5:04pm northguineahills: moar glockenspiel! If I wasn't so busy, I'd record some more thunderstorm field recordings and send them. Forgot how the whole moving thing is a PITA.
	8/9/17 5:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Today's collages are very dreamy indeed.
	8/9/17 5:05pm Dzeli: this is working for my storm belly
	8/9/17 5:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dzeli belly
	8/9/17 5:07pm Ike: Punk-ass hippie robots are rusting loudly today! Get them out of my silicon onion farms right now!
	8/9/17 5:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'm sorry for your loss, Ike. I'm happy for your recovery, Dzeli. I'm glocken for your spiel, northguineahills. I'm admiring your frequent foot out the door, fred.
	8/9/17 5:10pm fred: @Ike: At least pirates are not an issue on the stream
	8/9/17 5:11pm Dzeli: Kenzo: I'm grateful for your gratings
	8/9/17 5:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ima detailing this here playlist
	8/9/17 5:20pm fred: I like this! It's a much better confusion than the one I'm getting at work
	8/9/17 5:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I had a broken foot while making this show
	8/9/17 5:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I also had Robert's Rules of Order out from the library
	8/9/17 5:37pm fred: I hope you won't go too far in reliving the experience today
	8/9/17 5:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I'm at my mercy
	8/9/17 5:39pm Bliss: In the early-mid 70's, my stepdad had a little book called Robert's Rule of Law. At least that is the name I recall.
	8/9/17 5:40pm cklequ: There's always so much happening here.........
	8/9/17 5:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Robert's Rules of Order is the most used and famous book on parliamentary procedure in the US, originating in the late 1800's.
	8/9/17 5:40pm cklequ: Hay! I finally got my heart.
	8/9/17 5:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): cklequ: How do you feel about this muchness?
	8/9/17 5:41pm Bliss: Yes, I am pretty sure that is the one. All these years I was thinking that it was Robert's Rule of Law.
	8/9/17 5:41pm cklequ: I come here for the muchness.
	8/9/17 5:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ja, hearts got kicked on a few days ago
	8/9/17 5:43pm Bliss: I once thought we had had a St. Bernard, but it had been a beagle.
	8/9/17 5:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The beagle is the most famous and used dog for mistaken memories in the northeast region
	8/9/17 5:45pm fred: Most places are northeast of somewhere else. Though not all are suitable homes for beagles
	8/9/17 5:48pm Rich in Washington: I keep thinking this show is on at 3, my time. I am in a time zone all my own, apparently.
	8/9/17 5:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Rich, what timeshift can I do to make your listening more present-like?
	8/9/17 5:49pm fred: @Rich: I think you're right
	8/9/17 5:50pm Rich in Washington: I wish I knew. I am working on being more present.
	8/9/17 5:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wednesdays 2-4pm in Washington (with an occasional Tues. 8-10pm on the WTJU side)
	8/9/17 5:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): 5 minutes to go before this dream changes color!
	8/9/17 5:56pm fred: That's my cue to be smart and leave. Then again, that reminds me of Mulholland Drive
	8/9/17 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): fred, wait, see if you like this
	8/9/17 5:57pm Rich in Washington: This whole mix is great to edit video to.
	8/9/17 5:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It's good for sleeping, just ask Rich!
	8/9/17 5:57pm Dzeli: What color comes next?
	8/9/17 5:59pm Doug Schulkind: Who is this Ken Zlastever I've been hearing so much about?
	8/9/17 6:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ken Z'o Lastever
	8/9/17 6:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This half is itself divided in halves. The second half in half an hour is a bit more challenging
	8/9/17 6:01pm Rich in Washington: I love this movie so much. I love listening to it more than watching it.
	8/9/17 6:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes. I haven't been able to go back and rewatch it, but I've heard this show at least a couple hundred times now.
	8/9/17 6:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): For those who haven't seen it, it's George Lucas's first film, from 1971, a very comprehensive dystopian film that uses almost no exposition, relying almost entirely on the brilliant sound montage work by co-writer Walter Murch. Most of what you come to understand about this "future" world comes from your listening.
	8/9/17 6:04pm Rich in Washington: I love this show. The one back then and the one right now.
	8/9/17 6:05pm Dzeli: Rather yellow
	8/9/17 6:06pm Rich in Washington: I think it's one of his best films. I think it's relatively austere - by today's standard's - budget made him make some really creative choices that add to the film's appeal.
	8/9/17 6:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thank you for color interpretation, Dzeli. What was the first hour?
	8/9/17 6:09pm Rich in Washington: It's hard to find the original version of this film. Like his Star Wars films, Lucas went back and added lots of unnecessary special effects that didn't merge well with the film's original gritty, claustrophobic atmosphere.
	8/9/17 6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hi again, (ghost of) fred, northguineahills, Dzeli, Ike, Bliss, cklequ, Rich, Doug, the people texting and msging and emailing me, and the shy and future others.
	8/9/17 6:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The closest-to-original version can be found online by searching for the laserdisc version.
	8/9/17 6:11pm Dzeli: Light blue. :-)
	8/9/17 6:11pm fred: I haven't seen this movie. I could go all Vizzini and say since you say I should stay I should leave, except it's too obvious. My way is not that complicated: if I get sleepy and start yawning, I'm out instantly, because if I miss that boat I may not get another chance for hours
	8/9/17 6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It's a shame, the 2004 DVD version has clearer sound, and the sound is so important...but Lucas added numerous weird modern effects and changes and embellishments and didn't even label this as being a changed release.
	8/9/17 6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Inconceivable!
	8/9/17 6:13pm Rich in Washington: That THX-1138. He never backs off.
	8/9/17 6:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Make the correction THX
	8/9/17 6:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wonder what Murch would think of this show. I loved his work in THX and Apoc Now and The Conversation, and Return to Oz is a favorite film of mine although there's not much sound magic there
	8/9/17 6:17pm Rich in Washington: I used to think Murch worked on Star Wars, due to the Lucas connection and similarity to some of the techniques heard in the film, which was actually Ben Burt, but I guess he didn't.
	8/9/17 6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Murch didn't work on Star Wars, but some of the techniques he developed in THX 1138 got used there anyway. The walkie talkie sounds in Star Wars especially
	8/9/17 6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Sometimes a little adjustment can make all the difference
	8/9/17 6:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wish I could go back and remember how this felt while I was making it. It wasn't yet an hour-long show about THX-1138. It was just a thing I was doing, and I was halfway through the timeslot.
	8/9/17 6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My foot was broken for this one, too
	8/9/17 6:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh yeah, there was this recording studio downstairs from the radio station, and there was a loud band playing in there. It's in the boominess on the mic a bit.
	8/9/17 6:28pm fred: Was it the same foot?
	8/9/17 6:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, it took months to heal. It changed my life and that of many others dramatically.
	8/9/17 6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Things turned a bit darker in my life after this show and before the one we heard in the first hour. So of course this is the darker show and the harder period one is lighter.
	8/9/17 6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dzeli, here's the next big color shift
	8/9/17 6:33pm Rich in Washington: It's also 20 degrees cooler since the program shift. How'd you do that, Kenzo?
	8/9/17 6:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): phase shift
	8/9/17 6:35pm Rich in Washington: I broke my foot at the end of 2016 but didn't know it until January of 2017. I was hobbling around for months.
	8/9/17 6:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I didn't get confirmation of my bone break for 3 months
	8/9/17 6:45pm fred: I hope no foot was harmed in the process
	8/9/17 6:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): "Never mind"
	8/9/17 6:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dzeli, exactly what listen link are you using?
	8/9/17 6:48pm Gary: What isn't wrong?
	8/9/17 6:50pm northguineahills: Finishing tidying up my finances. Only one more call to make.
	8/9/17 6:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks everyone in advance for listening and talking or not talking today. This show is here every Wednesday until it's not. Sometimes live, sometimes recently live, sometimes long ago live. Your live lifeness is very important here. Check schedule and back catalog at lastever.org
	5:01pm doctorjazz: HI folks-teleconference going overtime, past 5 PM, just shoot me...

April 29, 2020: Swirled Freely & You Have Nowhere to Go (What's Wrong?) | Download MP3

Two dreamy, mysterious live sound collage creations from my long-ago performances:

First, "Swirled Freely," a wordless and happy-dream-making lazy layering play of field recordings from all over the world, and pleasing electronic musics from many joymakers. Originally collaged live on radio in Austin, January 2005.

Second, a very spooky dream immersion called "You Have Nowhere to Go (What's wrong?)", a spontaneous live radio study from 2004, repurposing the sound montage elements that made the 1971 film THX 1138 so scarily transportative.

	8/9/17 6:04pm Rich in Washington: I love this show. The one back then and the one right now.
	8/9/17 6:05pm Dzeli: Rather yellow
	8/9/17 6:06pm Rich in Washington: I think it's one of his best films. I think it's relatively austere - by today's standard's - budget made him make some really creative choices that add to the film's appeal.
	8/9/17 6:08pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thank you for color interpretation, Dzeli. What was the first hour?
	8/9/17 6:09pm Rich in Washington: It's hard to find the original version of this film. Like his Star Wars films, Lucas went back and added lots of unnecessary special effects that didn't merge well with the film's original gritty, claustrophobic atmosphere.
	8/9/17 6:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hi again, (ghost of) fred, northguineahills, Dzeli, Ike, Bliss, cklequ, Rich, Doug, the people texting and msging and emailing me, and the shy and future others.
	8/9/17 6:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The closest-to-original version can be found online by searching for the laserdisc version.
	8/9/17 6:11pm Dzeli: Light blue. :-)
	8/9/17 6:11pm fred: I haven't seen this movie. I could go all Vizzini and say since you say I should stay I should leave, except it's too obvious. My way is not that complicated: if I get sleepy and start yawning, I'm out instantly, because if I miss that boat I may not get another chance for hours
	8/9/17 6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It's a shame, the 2004 DVD version has clearer sound, and the sound is so important...but Lucas added numerous weird modern effects and changes and embellishments and didn't even label this as being a changed release.
	8/9/17 6:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Inconceivable!
	8/9/17 6:13pm Rich in Washington: That THX-1138. He never backs off.
	8/9/17 6:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Make the correction THX
	8/9/17 6:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wonder what Murch would think of this show. I loved his work in THX and Apoc Now and The Conversation, and Return to Oz is a favorite film of mine although there's not much sound magic there
	8/9/17 6:17pm Rich in Washington: I used to think Murch worked on Star Wars, due to the Lucas connection and similarity to some of the techniques heard in the film, which was actually Ben Burt, but I guess he didn't.
	8/9/17 6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Murch didn't work on Star Wars, but some of the techniques he developed in THX 1138 got used there anyway. The walkie talkie sounds in Star Wars especially
	8/9/17 6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Sometimes a little adjustment can make all the difference
	8/9/17 6:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wish I could go back and remember how this felt while I was making it. It wasn't yet an hour-long show about THX-1138. It was just a thing I was doing, and I was halfway through the timeslot.
	8/9/17 6:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My foot was broken for this one, too
	8/9/17 6:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh yeah, there was this recording studio downstairs from the radio station, and there was a loud band playing in there. It's in the boominess on the mic a bit.
	8/9/17 6:28pm fred: Was it the same foot?
	8/9/17 6:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yes, it took months to heal. It changed my life and that of many others dramatically.
	8/9/17 6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Things turned a bit darker in my life after this show and before the one we heard in the first hour. So of course this is the darker show and the harder period one is lighter.
	8/9/17 6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dzeli, here's the next big color shift
	8/9/17 6:33pm Rich in Washington: It's also 20 degrees cooler since the program shift. How'd you do that, Kenzo?
	8/9/17 6:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): phase shift
	8/9/17 6:35pm Rich in Washington: I broke my foot at the end of 2016 but didn't know it until January of 2017. I was hobbling around for months.
	8/9/17 6:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I didn't get confirmation of my bone break for 3 months
	8/9/17 6:45pm fred: I hope no foot was harmed in the process
	8/9/17 6:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): "Never mind"
	8/9/17 6:47pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Dzeli, exactly what listen link are you using?
	8/9/17 6:48pm Gary: What isn't wrong?
	8/9/17 6:50pm northguineahills: Finishing tidying up my finances. Only one more call to make.
