This month’s podcast is a live performance recorded at The Friday Experiment at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke, MA. It was an interesting show – an evening of continuous ambient performances featuring Craig Douglas, me and Bonnie Kane. Our sets overlapped by a few minutes, so the end of one performers set would become the start of the next.
Presented here is my portion of the evening. I really like the shape of this one, it covers a lot of sonic territory. That’s why I’ve posted it unedited. Its a good example of what an Errant Space performance can be.
This month’s podcast features Neonach (Craig Douglas) from Western Massachusetts.
Craig combines vocals, electronics and acoustic instruments to create lush, immersive soundscapes. Our collaboration explores varied sonic topographies and imaginary frontiers…
This month’s podcast is a binaural recording from the July 2022 Space Out, Outside.
It features Bob Lukomski (granular synthesizers, samples) and Irman Peck (conceptual cello/bass guitar).
Its a really beautiful field recording, best experienced in headphones, with subtle interactions between the players, and their environment.

I packed up some synthesizers, donned my wormlogo hat and headed over to Sonic Hudson’s studio. We made weird sounds, these are some of them. Listen loudly.
This month’s podcast sees the return* of Tom Law, but with a twist!
In addition to being an experimental musician, Tom has an interest in early music and brought along his Viola da Gamba to our session. He incorporated it into his Max/MSP rig and two worlds collided (to weird effect).

We ended up with a wonderfully abstract series of soundscapes which I find very transporting. Best enjoyed in headphones, lying down in a dark room…
This month’s podcast features the violin and voice of Concetta Abbate.
Concetta came up to the studio from Queens, NY on a weird winter day that started sunny and devolved into icy snow squalls. The three improvisations that comprise this recording really seem to capture the feeling of that day.
Concetta Abbate is a classically trained violinist turned improviser and composer. Grammy.com describes her original performances as a mix of “Violin and delicate vocals that float between the worlds of Modern Classical, Neo-Folk, and poignant and poetic verse”. She has released three studio albums exploring art song, avant chamber music and free improvisation.
We’re starting off the new year slowly with wormlogo, which is another of my musical personas. I think of wormlogo as being based around synthesizers while Errant Space is more guitar based.
I approached this podcast as I would one of my Remote Variations series; but rather than exchanging tracks with some one else, I exchanged tracks with myself. If you want to hear more of the Errant Space + wormlogo collab check out this album.
Its time for another installment of the Remote Variations Series, this time with Pedeplei from Guadalajara, Mexico. (We were connected via our mutual friend BioMeSS.)
Pedeplei is a project of sound artist, Israel Peña who creates and manipulates sounds in real time. I think of him as a sort of experimental foley artist or field recordist, creating sounds with physical objects then processing, altering and looping them (in real time) to create strange sonic worlds.
Our collaboration produced a real aural feast; with lots of interesting textures and glitchy noises. Listen in headphones for the full effect.
This month’s podcast features my occasional project with Andy Rinehart, OCCULTS.
We create strange, unsettling soundscapes, in this case for Moon, Serpent and Bone’s 3rd Annual Samhain Oddities & Curiosities Night Market where the performance that became this podcast was recorded.
It gets pretty spooky, so keep the lights on and prepare a change of pants…
