This month’s podcast features composer/keyboardist Jesse Beaman from Austin, Texas.
Jesse was out on tour in the area, and had a free day to come by the studio to record. What you’ll hear here is the first time we ever played together, I find the results quite beautiful and minimal.
This month brings the 100th Errant Space podcast!!
To mark the occasion, I organized a live event featuring eight past podcast participants which took place on July 1, 2023 at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY.

It was a three hour performance with the performers surrounding the audience, who were encouraged to listen while horizontal. The musicians played in rotating groups of three. This podcast is taken from that performance.
These are the musicians who participated in the experiment:
We had a fair number of audience members come through during the performance, you’ll hear people moving about on the recording. For best results, listen while laying down, it will almost be like you were there…
This month’s podcast sees the return of modular synthesist Okkoto!
This winter, I took a trip up to Okkoto’s studio in the mountains where we spent an afternoon exploring sounds… We ended up with plenty of hypnotic rhythms and interesting textures for your listening pleasure.
This month’s podcast is a collbo with Scary Mountain Wizard who brought his hybrid modular synth/guitar rig over to the studio for some ambient explorations.
I’m very pleased with this one, it has a nice mellowness and there’s a feeling of gentle exploration. At times it gets very slow, almost to the point of stillness…
This month’s podcast is a live performance recorded at The Friday Experiment at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke, MA. It was an interesting show – an evening of continuous ambient performances featuring Craig Douglas, me and Bonnie Kane. Our sets overlapped by a few minutes, so the end of one performers set would become the start of the next.
Presented here is my portion of the evening. I really like the shape of this one, it covers a lot of sonic territory. That’s why I’ve posted it unedited. Its a good example of what an Errant Space performance can be.
This month’s podcast features Neonach (Craig Douglas) from Western Massachusetts.
Craig combines vocals, electronics and acoustic instruments to create lush, immersive soundscapes. Our collaboration explores varied sonic topographies and imaginary frontiers…
This month’s podcast is a binaural recording from the July 2022 Space Out, Outside.
It features Bob Lukomski (granular synthesizers, samples) and Irman Peck (conceptual cello/bass guitar).
Its a really beautiful field recording, best experienced in headphones, with subtle interactions between the players, and their environment.

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, but we did persist and this recording is a document.
The Shaker Meeting House was a beautiful space to play in, and I hope to perform there again in the future. Also, they let me use one of their Shaker chairs – so comfortable!!
