This months podcast is from a couple of performances I did at art openings this summer.
The first half is taken from an opening in July at Gallery 66 in Cold Spring, NY of paintings by Stephen Rose. The second half is from an opening of a show by the Beacon Photography Group in August at the First Presbyterian Church in Beacon, NY.

This one is compiled from two summer 2016 performances. The first part is from a Knit In Public Day event at St. Andrews church in Beacon, NY. The second half (starts at 30:18) is from a Music About Art performance I did at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center on the Vassar College campus in Poughkeepsie, NY.

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:
BONUS! here’s some video of the performance shot by Thom Joyce

The second year of the Errant Space podcast kicks off with some fairly mellow, in studio experimentation. All three parts of this one are performed on the baritone guitar, which I’ve been gravitating to lately. I think the little bit of extra low range appeals to me as a bass player. I’ve tried ambient looping using bass guitar, but I find that those low frequencies muddy up pretty quickly, so the baritone guitar is a nice compromise.
And, for those who are interested in such things, here’s a photo of the latest pedalboard setup (with the lower bit of the baritone):

This month’s podcast was recorded at the Cocoon Theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY during their Beckett Festival.
I played in the lobby before and after a performance of Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days. The first third of the podcast was recorded pre-show, the last part was after the show. I think its interesting to hear how the play’s performance effected my performance – that Beckett sure does take one to a weird place!

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!

Another podcast with a special guest for this, the fifth Errant Space podcast.
This time Dirt Eater (Max Dreyer) dropped into the Rude Anagrams studio for some improvised soundscaping.
He brought a few effects and used a couple of mono-synths and a few more effects from the Rude Anagrams collection and we created what, to me, sounds like an imaginary soundtrack to a sci-fi film noir.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
