Drum Poetry w/ Yorobi 010824

After a 20 year hiatus, LA-based artist Jeremy Kennedy marks her return to the hazardous electronic playground of outbound, beat-driven sound with the telling new moniker, dj again.

Though the tag quickly suggests many narratives threatening to create their own feedback loops, Kennedy embraces them, allowing the dj again production style to empty out the escapism at the range that you want both in reflection and present tense with a designer lo-fi aesthetic that only the moaning highlights of a half-broken, semi-affordable PA system could muse upon.

For para by para, she presents a blend of newly constructed tracks combined with essential sips of unreleased material from the artist’s ghost-of-EDM-past as a disjunctive two-channel composition where sound meets event-specific projection, in collaboration with John Dawson and Alee Peoples.

More than leftfield leftovers, this curated collection captures the heavily-syncopated post-trap drum lines and computer noise of the existing genre, with a harder brutalist push toward the future soundsystem. A self-designed remix of identity.

Created for para by para, an immersive (hyper)active listening party that incites haptic encouter via multichannel composition that encompasses restless spatial practice, responsive sound, revisionist temporal collage...and you. Curated by Emji Saint Spero.

2004 mixes for 2024 djs

Another twirbly aural clusterfuck rolled in magical sparkles and self-induced technical difficulties featuring Ariana "A.I." Grande in two swirly appearances amidst a crever of terror àla TNG's Riker MANeuver puppet master, Jon Frakes. Stick around for a 4-layer cake cover of "Money (That What I Want)," the aforementioned sparkles, new deeper clicks™, and a roll of d.j. again remixes.

Our sky cries chorally with our flame impacted folks in the area, from our blessed friend and airtime benefactor The Unwrinkled Ear outward.

Performed live at KCHUNG PUBLIC in the red hot trailer outside The Geffen Contemporary at MoCA

“Beglitched!”
A P/Sicho Street Theatre Company production.
Written and Directed by: Jeremy Kennedy and Chelsea Rector

Beglitched is an absurdist audio theatre series based on the classic American television sitcom fantasy series Bewitched (1964-1972). 

It is about an ordinary mortal man (Sarrin) who marries (Damantha), who unbeknownst to him, is a witch. His desire to lead the life of a typical suburban couple is disrupted at every turn by brutal humor and an essentially non-rational storyline, in a non-sensical household, backdropped by a non-stop soundtrack of experimental electronic sounds.

While the cast of characters may sound familiar, their personalities are 3 waning moons away from the original.

Featuring a cast of artists from across the US, recorded remotely by various means: Los Angeles (CA), Bloomington (IN), Gardena (CA), Owensboro (KY) and Oakland (CA). 2020.

Damantha: Chelsea Rector
Sarrin: Jeremy Kennedy
Endora: Melinda Fleming
Stabitha: J. Shelley Harrison
