128k, 108 minutes, experimentally danced pop
Using the delay between the live broadcast and the recording of the stream, this one is often completely off balance, folding back into itself and creating feedback loops. But this is a very thoughtful and expansive net of sounds, meant for the deeper part of you. Once you catch the flow, you will not be able to withdraw. The power is left up to you, but so is meaning.

Cold Repetition
The Chill Room, 26 November 2011, at 00:00 PST on killradio.org
128k, 100 minutes, spectacularly chill set to DRIVE YOU WILD
This set began as a vamp on repeated phrases, but it casts a very wide net, extended tones into beats into samples into songs, blues songs, mashes, adagios, and more. I think of the Room itself as a field (that's why I use audio puns like crickets, the ocean, street sounds, even sexual sounds) and what feeds in and slides out as invasions. Avant garde is, after all, a military term. If you are reading this, it's for you. Be cautioned though, the Chill Room can be addictive.

Berger's Castle of Quiet Remix) / Circle-Kohlaton Sormi / Iannis Xenakis-Mycenae Alpa / Biosphere-Silene / Chop Shop live on wfmu.org 15 November 2011 / Merzbient / Amanda n Friends with Jimi Hendrix-Third Stone from Cookieland / Vanity 6-Drive Me Wild / Sleep Chamber-Victmmm / Sky Burial-Within and Without / Dame Darcy-Indigo / The Fleetwoods-Outside My Window (7") / Karlheinz Stockhausen-Studie 1 / Bernard Parmigiani-Violostries / Fast Forward-Machine Guns / Stockhausen-Gesang der Junglinge / Psychic TV-Good Vibrations (12") / Yoko Ono-Fly / Sonny Sharrock-27th Day / DJ Nat Roe-Bastard Disco / Led Zeppelin-When the Levee Breaks / Daniel Menche live on wfmu.org 5 November 2011 / ToTom-Make It in the Morning (Dylan v Queens of the Stone Age) / Rollercone-Reveille Riveria Traxx Dub / Fluke-Atom Bomb / Tom Waits-Satisfied (Bad As Me) / Brian Joseph Davis & unrehearsed acapella choir-Yesterduh / Nurse With Wound-Penis Fruit Loop / THU20 live cassette 1991 / DJ Nat Roe-Abba / Voicedude-Get Wasted Tonight (KC & the Sunshine Band v.

Was I ever in love? It felt like love. There were moments when -- Ah, but do I like to dance? Of course, and maybe a walk on the beach. But don't try to touch me, unless you want it all. Wait -- what was that about a secret show? There is something behind this?
