Errant Space Podcast Seventy Eight: Live at OCAC

This month’s podcast is a live solo performance from June 2021 in Goshen, NY at the Orange County Arts Council.

Its a field recording, so you’ll be able to hear the environment where I was playing; there’s a little pond, lots of birds talking, and some traffic. Its nice to post an unedited performance like this as a snapshot of where I am creatively. One of the audience members described it as “sonic acupuncture,” which I think is fitting. I hope you enjoy it!

Errant Space Podcast Seventy Seven: Spacing Out with Irman Peck

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??

Errant Space Podcast Seventy Six with Andrew Neumann

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.

Errant Space Podcast Seventy Two: Remote Variations 5 with BioMeSS

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.

Errant Space Podcast Seventy One: Remote Variations 4 with Modulator ESP

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.

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.

Errant Space Podcast Sixty Eight: Quiet Village 3.0

This month’s podcast is a field recording of a very ambient solo performance at Quiet Village 3.0  which was a backyard show that took place September 27, 2020.

There’s a nice intimacy about this recording; you can hear the squeaks of my chair, the acoustic sound of my guitar and birds flying by. It fits well with the Quiet Village ethos of ambient music blending with the ambience of the environment.
