Errant Space Podcast #58: with Tom Law

This month’s podcast features experimental musician Tom Law.

Tom uses Max/MSP to create his own instruments and to manipulate live audio. Our collabo gets a bit noisy and has some brutalist aspects; there are some fantastic textures! Open your ears and enjoy the ride.

Errant Space Podcast #49 – with Burnkit 2600

This month’s podcast features the circuit bent sounds of Burnkit 2600. Its super droney, crunchy, filled with great textures and generally delicious. We cover a lot of sonic territory, so strap in and enjoy the ride.

Errant Space Podcast #44 – Spacing Out w/ JEM of Symmetry

This month’s podcast features JEM of Symmetry on assorted electronics.

I met JEM at the Northeast Electronic Music Festival and discovered we lived in the same county, so it seemed obvious to invite him to be on the podcast.

The day of the podcast recording we also did a Space Out, Outside performance where we were joined by previous podcast guest Andy Rinehart.  So we were well warmed up when it came time to record!

This one gets pretty far-out, sonically; there are a lot of weird textures and it goes to some spacey places. Hold on tight!

Errant Space Podcast #40 – Getting bent with Electr(on)ic Chakra

Welcome to podcast forty! Featuring the homemade and circuit-bent instruments of Electr(on)ic Chakra (John Lutz). I met John a few years back when I bought a synthesizer from him (it was a micro-brute). He was my entry point in to the weirdo music scene in the Hudson Valley, so its great to finally have him on the podcast.

This one is extra-textural and droney; probably best played extremely loud or very quietly. Try it both ways, what have you got to lose?!

Errant Space Podcast #35 – Getting out with Bonnie Kane

This month’s podcast features experimental musician Bonnie Kane.

Bonnie Kane at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

I first saw Bonnie perform at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and later had the pleasure of playing at her Thursday Experiment. Bonnie is a fearless improvisor and sonic explorer. She runs her saxophone and flute through a myriad of electronics into a guitar amp producing some fantastic, far-out sounds. This podcast is pretty far from ambient, it gets quite noisy and out, but its a fun ride! And remember, anything can be ambient if you turn it down low enough.

Below is a video of Bonnie and me at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. That performance makes up the last part of the podcast. (Video courtesy of Bonnie Kane.)

Errant Space Podcast #33 – 2017 Live Retrospective

This month’s podcast takes a look back at some of the past year’s live performances. I played with some great musicians in a variety of settings in 2017, and could probably fill several podcasts with those recordings. But here are four that represent the range of sonic experiences I had this year.

It starts with a solo performance at Beste Studios in October (thanks to Samantha Beste for the drawing at the top of this post!)

At around 11:17 there’s a duo performance with Dean Sharp on guitar, beats and loops, recorded at Newburgh Open Movement in August.

Then at 26:06 it’s a quartet performance with Al Margolis playing wind instruments, including alto clarinet, recorder and trumpet, Andy Rinehart on accordion, and Steve Roe on the Straddlevarious! This was recorded at a contact improvisation workshop in November.

Finally, at 42:57, a trio performance with the modular synthesizers of Art Labriola and Campfire’s Edge recorded at Quinn’s in August.

Errant Space Podcast #32 – Compromised Impositions w/ Al Margolis

This month’s podcast features experimental musician Al Margolis (if, bwana). Al attempts to use instruments as sound making devices, stripped as far as possible from their traditional sounds and modes of playing. The results are texturally rich, and sonically surprising.

Al manipulating his compromised impositions.

I first met Al performing at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, where he was assaulting a violin in a most appealing (appalling?) manner.  He brought his violin, an alto clarinet and his laptop to our session. We did some improvising with both of us playing instruments, some improvisations with me playing guitar, and Al on laptop manipulating his “compromised impositions”, and also improvisations with Al playing his instruments as I processed them live through my effects. Needless to say this podcast is pretty different, but if you’re interested in exploring sound I think you’re gonna like it.

Errant Space Podcast #30 – Getting Weird with Sonic Hudson

Here it is, the thirtieth Errant Space Podcast, The big Three-Oh! This one is a collaboration with Sonic Hudson, playing his suitcase of electronics and lap steel. Its nice and weird, sometimes leaning a bit more into the realm of noise than usual, and traversing some adventurous sonic terrain.
