Episode Synopsis

It’s the mid-1980s, and Kenny Larkin, who has been serving in the United States Air Force, has just left his role and finished his military career. Part of the motivation for this change, is for Larkin to explore his interest in stand-up comedy. After having left his air force duties however, it isn’t comedy that initially offers him the most significant creative outlet, and public recognition. Larkin instead becomes enamoured with a new form of electronic music that he hears around Detroit, called techno. Not long after these initial encounters, he starts experimenting with creating his own take on techno. And then, a few years following his first recordings, Larkin’s track, “Butterflies”, floats into the world.
