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!

This month’s podcast features synthesist David Mason. Its constructed from three sessions recorded en plein air; on my back deck and during a Space Out, Outside in April 2021.

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.

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 month’s podcast is from the final Space Out, Outside of 2020. It took place on a still not too cold afternoon in October and features synthesists David Mason and Michael Lutomski.
We covered a lot of sonic territory that afternoon; there are some great electronic textures, weird noises, and so much spacing out. Open your ears, and enjoy the journey.

The experiment continues, more remotely than ever, as this month’s podcast is the first to feature a collaborator that I’ve never met, Scott Metoyer.
Scott Metoyer is a synthesist, experimenter, software developer, and visual creator from Southern California. His work explores the hidden symphonies all around us, locked away in the mundane artifacts of daily living and consumerism.
Scott uses custom-built controllers, modular synthesizers, and algorithmic processes to capture and manipulate reappropriated data into intricate and evocative soundscapes. He self-releases projects on Bandcamp, has many open source projects available on GitHub , and is currently designing a small range of boutique Eurorack modules.

This month’s podcast is an experimental music experiment. Inspired by Al Margolis’ concept for podcast #57, and the desire/necessity to collaborate with musicians in distant locations, REMOTE VARIATIONS was born.
Here’s how it works: I recorded an improvised piece, keeping in mind that it would be sent to a collaborator (or in this case, two collaborators) to add to in any way they wanted. After the collaborator has finished with what I sent them, they take inspiration from that experience and create a new piece which they send to me to add to. Those pieces then go together to form the podcast.
My two (remote) collaborators this month were Irman Peck (Philadelphia, PA) and Michael Lowe (Denver, CO).
Irman starts the podcast adding subtle synthesizers to the piece I sent him. Then around 15:45 we get more abstract with Irman’s response piece where he returns to his primary instrument, bass.
Things begin to get glitchy and textural around 31:30 when Michael adds guitar to the piece I sent to him. Its fascinating how different two people’s response to the same piece of music can be! At 47:38 Michael’s response piece starts, which I add to on baritone guitar to close out the podcast.

Errant Elf, or Quantum Space… whichever you choose, this month’s podcast is from a live performance with Quantum Elf which took place on December 7, 2019 at the Rotunda in Philadelphia as part of the Event Horizon concert series.
Quantum Elf is Karl Fury (guitar, lap steel) and Floyd Bledsoe (synthesizers). It was a real honor to have these guys sit in with me for this show. I think our performance was pretty epic!
