This month’s podcast features bassist (and synthesist) Irman Peck, from Philadelphia, PA.
Irman was a participant in the Remote Variations series, but this one was recorded live at a Space Out, Outside performance in June 2021.
We covered a lot of ground that afternoon, from contemplative improvisation to weird poly rhythms and textural drones. It’s got something for everyone??
This month’s podcast features synthesist Andrew Neumann from Boston, MA.
Andrew brought out his Buchla Music Easel(!!) for an open-air recording session in my back yard. We got pretty far out, exploring weird sonic textures and terrain. Its a fun trip, enjoy the ride!
Contrary to what his shirt says (and where he lives), Andrew is a West-Coast synthesist.
This month’s podcast features synthesist David Mason. Its constructed from three sessions recorded en plein air; on my back deck and during a Space Out, Outside in April 2021.
In the electronic music realm, David Mason usually goes by the name of Listening Center and as such employs mostly analog synthesis and tape manipulation. Since 2012, he has released several albums and singles with record labels such as Ghost Box, Polytechnic Youth, A Year In The Country, Castles in Space, Texte und Töne, and Behind the Sky. He sometimes composes film soundtracks and plays electronic percussion in the Danish-US ensemble, Hess Is More.
This month’s podcast is another in the Remote Variation Series, featuring Anders Nils from Brooklyn, NY. Its very ambient; minimal and droney.
Anders Nils is an electronic musician and producer who primarily focuses on generative ambient music, sound design and instrumental soundtracks. He uses a modular synthesizer, software synths and guitars fed through a wash of delay and reverb effects.
This month’s podcast is another in the Remote Variations series, featuring BioMeSS. Its a journey into deep sonic space; ranging from subtle drones to angular blasts of noise and amazing textures.
BioMechanical ShapeShifters (or BioMeSS for short) is the project of Floyd Bledsoe from Trenton, New Jersey. The name has been used for his electronic music experimentations since the early 1990s. The concept is that BioMeSS is not solo but a group consisting of various devices that create the soundwaves. The 2010s saw recordings start to appear on the internet and now there are over 90 albums available on the Bandcamp website with many containing several hours of music each. Styles range from quiet droning atmospherics to chaotic abstract noise and many spaces in between.

This isn’t Floyd’s first appearance on the Errant Space Podcast! He was also part of podcast 59 with Quanum Elf.
This month’s podcast is another in the Remote Variations series featuring Modulator ESP from Nottingham, UK. Its super-spacey, droney stuff!
Modulator ESP is an adventurer in sound. He produces improvised experimental soundscapes, using synthesizers, sampling,sequencing, looping and processing to create strange worlds of sound somewhere between ambient, berlin school, drone, space music and noise.
This month’s podcast features sound artist/therapist Katie Down. It was recorded binaurally in Katie’s loft instrumentarium where Katie played flute, and glass and metal instruments. Its always a treat to play with acoustic instruments and Katie creates some amazing sounds and textures on hers! This one is quite immersive and best experienced in headphones for the full binaural effect.
This month’s podcast is from the final Space Out, Outside of 2020. It took place on a still not too cold afternoon in October and features synthesists David Mason and Michael Lutomski.
David Mason and Michael Lutomski. That’s my stuff in the foreground.
We covered a lot of sonic territory that afternoon; there are some great electronic textures, weird noises, and so much spacing out. Open your ears, and enjoy the journey.
This month’s podcast features electronic musician Charles Shriner from Indianapolis, Indiana. Unlike previous remote variations, this one was a live, real-time collaboration using the Jamkazam platform, which worked quite well. I think the end result is comparable to collaborations recorded live in my studio.
Charles cleaned up and mixed the files from two Jamkazam sessions then I edited them as I would do for any podcast. (He also provided the image used in the header graphic.)
Here is some Bonus material from the sessions with Charles.
