This month’s podcast is from a Sound/Peace performance at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY on August 2, 2019.
The performers were:
Katie Down: Metal and Glass Instruments
Mark Trecka: Piano, Bells and Voice
Thom Uliasz: Circuit Bent and Hand Made Electronics
Craig Chin: Guitar/Loops
Sound/Peace, an occasionally recurring series, is an immersive sonic experience accompanied by the changing light of the setting sun. Musicians occupy the edges of the space, surrounding listeners in sound, the performance ends as darkness falls.
This is a field recording, so there’s a bit of room noise and shuffling about, but it captures the experience well.
For best results: listen in headphones, lying down, starting an hour before sunset.

This month’s podcast is a collaboration with Steve Roe. It is, as the title suggests, quite strange, incorporating found sounds, field recordings and drones.
Steve Roe is the founder of COUNCIL OF (POETIC) EXPERIMENTATION an art collective dedicated to the performance and publication of language based experimental works. His latest project, COMFORT OF STRANGENESS utilizes field recordings, live electronics and voice to create otherworldly soundscapes.

This month’s podcast is a sort of hybrid; the source material is from a performance accompanying an Ajna Light Therapy session. I took that material into the studio and enhanced, augmented and manipulated it resulting in this extremely ambient podcast.
For best results listen at the lowest possible volume. As they say at ambient festivals, “turn it down!!”

This final podcast of 2018 seems like a nice way to close out the year. It’s from a field recording of a Sound/Peace performance (the fourth in an ongoing series) that took place at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY on November 18, 2018.
Here’s some information about the event from the press release:
SOUND/PEACE (Seeking Harmony in Dissonant Times)
An immersive sonic experience accompanied by the changing light of the setting sun.
This performance features pianist/accordionist Andy Rinehart and bass clarinetist/percussionist J Why, along with members of the Beacon Rising Women’s Choir: Clara Masters, Danielle Andretta, Lisa Mayer and Olga Burger led in the Sound Painting tradition by conductor Gina Samardge, all supported by the ambient guitar soundscapes of Craig Chin. A performance rooted in improvisation, Sound Peace explores the evolving realms of ambient music, minimal music, modern soundscape, and earth music.
Sound/Peace aims to create a serene, contemplative atmosphere for deep listening where one can decompress and relax. The musicians occupy the edges of the space, surrounding listeners in sound. Audience members are free to move about the space, creating their own mix of the performance, and are encouraged to bring pillows or mats.
The performance will take place over approximately one and a half hours as the sun sets with the space illuminated only by natural light. The performance will end as darkness falls.

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!

This month’s podcast features Pas Musique.
Robert and Jessie of Pas Musique came by the studio to record with me before their performance at the Second Wednesdays: Electronic/Experimental Music series in June 2018. Robert played a table full of synths, samplers, drum machines and effects, along with a gdrum and processed vocals. Jessie played some sort of boat paddle run through guitar effects…
We explored a lot of sonic terrain, and the resulting podcast feels like a journey across worlds in some strange universe.

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?!

This month’s podcast is a field recording from the first Sound/Peace (Seeking Harmony in Dissonant Times) performance. The performance took place on November 19, 2017 at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY and featured Brad Hubbard (baritone sax and flute), Andy Rinehart (accordion and piano), Nathan Yeager (synthesizers) and me (Craig) (guitar and loops).
The Sound/Peace concept takes several performers playing a mix of acoustic and electronic instruments and places them around the perimeter of a space surrounding the audience who are encouraged to bring pillows, lie down, read, draw, meditate etc. The event takes place in natural light as the sun sets, ending as darkness falls. It is an immersive sonic experience accompanied by the changing light of the setting sun.
Here is a time lapse from the first part of this performance:
