ken's last ever radio extravaganza @ regurgitation show jersey city Sat. 3/24 3pm 'til later, FREE The Arts Center on First, 111 1st St., Jersey City (directions at bottom) ******************************* Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza 3pm long set, 8:30pm short set, in AREA #2 (The Gallery) Weaving hours of soundscapes amidst gallery contemplation, varying from spooky to terrifying to puzzling to silent. Roundabout torn apart circular trance-inducing transformative uncomfortable perspective-shifting reminiscent suspenseful in pain releasing freeform entropy stark ridiculous sticky pleasant clearing open stretched space rude participatory feedback organic new free addictive impersonal connected forum excessive satisfying uncertain ken's last ever radio extravaganza. Always improvised. Nobody in the world knows what will happen, until perhaps afterwards. Last weekend's KLERExtravaganza in Williamsburg covered much space, looping noises, static, ambient sounds, feedback, cheery pop 80's music butchered in real-time, instrumental Radiohead, corporate hold music, found audio scraps, pitch shifting, and, most importantly, Air Supply embedding its way into now-irreversibly-programmed minds forever. A very successful show, they tell me. (Soon to be available on CD.) Even if no inspiration materializes, or I fail to obtain any speakers or amplifier (got one? Share, please!), or the power fails, or I go deaf and can't hear what I'm doing, or you show up too late for my comfortably lengthy afternoon set, or you somehow can't find me, or I'm run over and shot and catch a cold on the way to the show, it's STILL a show worth going to: There will be over 40 artists of all sorts, showing films, sculpting, body painting, dancing, singing, speaking, dressing, hypnotizing, and on and on, in a great big old warehouse in the middle of a desolate district of abandoned factories and high-tech corporate headquarters. And eventually everything will degenerate into dancing and debauchery all the way 'til dawn. All for a $1 PATH ride 5 minutes over the river. The event is COMPLETELY FREE, brought to you by a loose collective of artists joined by their desire to provide art and culture without economic barriers. So, DEFINITELY GO. This SATURDAY, get there nice and early for my set at 3, take in all the art and the space and the people and the mellowness, have a bite to eat, relax. Then stick around for the chaos that will ensue when the DJ's take over and the lights go down. Then, please, go insane. Regurgitation Show, at The Arts Center on First, 111 1st St., Jersey City.
