This month’s podcast features selections from three soundtrack projects I worked on this year.
The first part is the entire score for the experimental theatre piece, Enki, which explored the Sumerian creation myth.
Next (starting at 21:04) are 2 tracks from the soundtrack for the adventure card game Dark Venture. Its a bit different than my usual work, as it involves a lot more synthesizers and also a fair amount of field recording and sound design. But these are two of the more abstract tracks. You can hear (and purchase) the entire soundtrack HERE.
Finally (starting at 38:46) there are some selections from the soundtrack for the documentary Baato, which is currently in post-production. Here’s a brief synopsis: ‘Baato’ (n. [Nepali] 1. path, trail 2. way 3. road) is an observational film that documents a young village family on an annual migration along the route of a planned trans-national highway. Partially complete, the highway project will transform this roadless Himalayan valley permanently and open up a direct transport route between Nepal and China – bringing new challenges, new opportunities, and ultimately a new way of being to those who live along its path.
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 recurringseries, 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 features composer / multi-instrumentalist V. Vecker (Keith Wecker) from Vancouver, BC playing saxophone and synthesizer.
We first met at Space Out, Outside 3, which was featured on podcast #51. A few days later, Keith came by the studio for a podcast session. The results are pretty experimental, with lots of loops and drones and saxophoning, great for late night listening.
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 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.
This month’s podcast is a collaboration with Mark Trecka who processes cassette tapes, voice and bells to create beautiful, textured soundscapes.

Also! this podcast, number 48, marks four years of the Errant Space Podcast! Its been a very good experience for me; I’ve met and collaborated with many amazing people and it has really helped me grow as a musician and human. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed it too, and we can continue this journey into sound together.
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 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!
Next (starting at 21:04) are 2 tracks from the soundtrack for the adventure card game Dark Venture. Its a bit different than my usual work, as it involves a lot more synthesizers and also a fair amount of field recording and sound design. But these are two of the more abstract tracks.
