From an episode of Hardly Sound, this is a documentary focuses on enigmatic underground Texas musician, Jandek as he weaves through a one-act play called "Kooken".
Tuning The Pulse offers a rare, behind the scenes look into the creative process of notoriously reclusive cult musician, Jandek and his free improvisatory music.
“The longest-running, weirdest, loneliest enigma in popular music is a guy from Texas who calls himself Jandek." So begins a 1997 Boston Phoenix article by Douglas Wolk. From the bluesy, atonal music and haunting lyrics, to the artist’s steadfast seclusion and sheer longevity, everything about this man intrigues. Twenty-five years, 34 albums, and not a single live show or public appearance. Even the simple detail of the man's real name is a mystery. Jandek on Corwood is the 89-minute documentary that explores this man, his world and his music.
