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.)

Avatar 5/1/19 6:13pm

This episode is the last one that sounds anything like this. Starting with my next show (on stage too but also on radio), I moved out of this electronic-y phase. I did 3 shows, took a year off, and then got back into a weekly radio show after 4 years without one.

The sound is so all-enveloping that at the beginning of this track, I thought somebody had brought their kid into the office. And then just now, I thought the janitorial staff at the office had turned on a vacuum cleaner for a second there... oh no wait, that *was* the janitorial staff.
