Errant Space Podcasts

photo courtesy sandy santra This month’s podcast is from a live performance at the Shaker Meeting House in Albany, NY in August 2021. It was a collaborative performance with dancer Ophra Wolf that took place as the sun set. As has too often been the case with weather reliant performances, it was very cloudy and even raining a bit before we started,…

This month’s podcast features the violin and voice of Concetta Abbate. Concetta came up to the studio from Queens, NY on a weird winter day that started sunny and devolved into icy snow squalls. The three improvisations that comprise this recording really seem to capture the feeling of that day. Concetta Abbate is a classically trained violinist tu…

This month’s podcast is a return to basics. As winter starts winding down I’m reconnecting with the electric guitar as a tone generator, and preparing for live performances again after being in studio mode and getting lost in the world of synthesizers. I constructed this podcast from five exercises where I explored the sonic and textural palette of…

We’re starting off the new year slowly with wormlogo, which is another of my musical personas. I think of wormlogo as being based around synthesizers while Errant Space is more guitar based. I approached this podcast as I would one of my Remote Variations series; but rather than exchanging tracks with some one else, I exchanged tracks with myself. …

This month’s podcast features guitarist Lucas Brode. Lucas and I have know each other for a while, both of us being oddball musicians based in the Hudson Valley. We’ve had a few live collabos, but I’d never asked him to be on my podcast, because I tend to shy away from playing with other guitarists, perhaps out of a fear of redundancy. However, our…

Its time for another installment of the Remote Variations Series, this time with Pedeplei from Guadalajara, Mexico. (We were connected via our mutual friend BioMeSS.) Pedeplei is a project of sound artist, Israel Peña who creates and manipulates sounds in real time. I think of him as a sort of experimental foley artist or field recordist, creating …

This month’s podcast features my occasional project with Andy Rinehart, OCCULTS. We create strange, unsettling soundscapes, in this case for Moon, Serpent and Bone’s 3rd Annual Samhain Oddities & Curiosities Night Market where the performance that became this podcast was recorded. It gets pretty spooky, so keep the lights on and prepare a change of…

This month’s podcast is a live solo performance from June 2021 in Goshen, NY at the Orange County Arts Council. Its a field recording, so you’ll be able to hear the environment where I was playing; there’s a little pond, lots of birds talking, and some traffic. Its nice to post an unedited performance like this as a snapshot of where I am creativel…

This month’s podcast features bassist (and synthesist) Irman Peck, from Philadelphia, PA. Irman was a participant in the Remote Variations series, but this one was recorded live at a Space Out, Outside performance in June 2021. We covered a lot of ground that afternoon, from contemplative improvisation to weird poly rhythms and textural drones. It’…

This month’s podcast features synthesist Andrew Neumann from Boston, MA. Andrew brought out his Buchla Music Easel(!!) for an open-air recording session in my back yard. We got pretty far out, exploring weird sonic textures and terrain. Its a fun trip, enjoy the ride! Contrary to what his shirt says (and where he lives), Andrew is a West-Coast synt…
