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 final podcast of 2018 seems like a nice way to close out the year. It’s from a field recording of a Sound/Peace performance (the fourth in an ongoing series) that took place at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY on November 18, 2018.

Here’s some information about the event from the press release:
SOUND/PEACE (Seeking Harmony in Dissonant Times)
An immersive sonic experience accompanied by the changing light of the setting sun.
This performance features pianist/accordionist Andy Rinehart and bass clarinetist/percussionist J Why, along with members of the Beacon Rising Women’s Choir: Clara Masters, Danielle Andretta, Lisa Mayer and Olga Burger led in the Sound Painting tradition by conductor Gina Samardge, all supported by the ambient guitar soundscapes of Craig Chin. A performance rooted in improvisation, Sound Peace explores the evolving realms of ambient music, minimal music, modern soundscape, and earth music.
Sound/Peace aims to create a serene, contemplative atmosphere for deep listening where one can decompress and relax. The musicians occupy the edges of the space, surrounding listeners in sound. Audience members are free to move about the space, creating their own mix of the performance, and are encouraged to bring pillows or mats.
The performance will take place over approximately one and a half hours as the sun sets with the space illuminated only by natural light. The performance will end as darkness falls.

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!
This month’s podcast is some spooky stuff!! Put it on loop for a soundtrack at your halloween party, or to create some creepy atmosphere for the trick-or-treaters. Use it to get yourself psyched up (or psyched out!) while you get your costume together, or just to create an unsettling environment where dread and evil could be lurking anywhere…
(Special thanks to Andy Rinehart for playing keyboard instruments and percussion.)
