This month’s podcast is from my first Music About Art performance at the Howland Cultural Center in May 2016. I play at a lot of art openings, which tend to be rather crowded, noisy affairs where my music becomes very much a background element. While I really enjoy playing openings, I wanted to explore the idea of how soundscapes can affect how art is experienced in a more contemplative setting, thus the Music About Art concept was born. As always, the soundscapes are inspired by both the art and the space it occupies. Here is some of the art that was on exhibit:

Performing at St. Andrews. [Photo Tony Cenicola]Welcome to Errant Space podcast #7.
This one is taken from a performance at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, which is around the corner from my house (literally). I played there on October 10, 2015 supporting a watercolor exhibit. Playing in big, interesting spaces really suits the Errant Space sound and I’m always on the lookout for new spaces where I can perform. Let me know if you have any ideas!
This time I’m exploring the minimal end of the ambient spectrum and experimenting with generative processes. The result is probably the most languid podcast yet. Insomniacs take note!
The last three-quarters of this one was recorded during an all day performance at Newburgh Open Studios on September 25, 2015. There’s a lot of material left from that day that will likely show up in future podcasts.
