Errant Space Podcast 107 with Brian Dewan

This month, Brian Dewan is back!!

And he brought his fancy beard along with the Swarmatron and Cartridge Organ. It was a lot of fun playing together again, the results often sound quite alien, and at times are reminiscent of early electronic music. Its strange and delightful!

Brian at the Cartridge Organ.

Errant Space Podcast Ninety Nine: with Bernhard Wöstheinrich

This month’s podcast features Bernhard Wöstheinrich, from Berlin.
Bernhard came to my studio to record before his performance at the Third Tuesdays: Electronic/Experimental Music Night, it was the first time we’d met and we promptly began making sounds together. I find the results of our collaboration have a dream-like quality, as if floating through surreal, ever-changing environments. Be sure to listen in headphones, Bernhard’s sound is amazingly spacious!

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.

This was the night I met Modulator ESP, at a house concert in 2016.

Errant Space Podcast Sixty Seven: Explorations for Battle of the Ancients

This month’s podcast features sonic explorations for Battle of the Ancients, a board game from my friends at Gilded Skull Games that should be coming out next year.  (The Battle of the Ancients Kickstarter is live now, check it out!)

Here I explore the quieter, more ambient aspects of the sound of Battle of the Ancients; trying to come up with themes, textures and atmospheres that may make their way on to an eventual game soundtrack. (You can find the previous soundtrack I did for Gilded Skull HERE.)

Coincidentally, I often try to produce some sort of weird “imaginary soundtrack” for my October podcasts that listeners can use to set the mood for their halloweening, and this one suits that purpose well.

Here are some of the devices used in the creation of this podcast.

The keyboard sounds for this podcast were mostly from some old casios, which I find quite evocative. I recorded them to cassette 4-track to add some extra texture before further digital manipulation.
