This month’s podcast features three live recordings from 2023, all of which include either bowed, or circuit bent instruments.
It begins with a performance with conceptual cellist Irman (who also contributes some keyboard) which was recorded at Telephone in Pittsburgh, PA.
Then, there’s a recording from drone day 2023 featuring Tamalyn Miller on horse hair fiddle and Thom Uliaz (burnkit2600) on circuit bent electronics.
Finally there is a very quiet performance that took place across a table next to the kitchen in a civil war era boarding house at XFest 2023 in New Hampshire. This one features the circuit bent Casio MT-240 of Cryptwarblr and I am playing a Bastl SoftPop. Both of us are using the instruments internal speakers.
This month’s podcast features Fronds & Fringe, a duo of sound makers from Philadelphia, PA.
Rebecca and Irman came to my studio the day after playing a show in town to record this podcast. I really enjoyed our collaboration, its rare for me to do a studio podcast with more than one musician. There was a lot of good playing and listening happening, and we covered some strange sonic terrain together.
This month’s podcast features composer/clarinetist David Rothenberg, who came to the studio with his bass clarinet, field recordings, samples and electronics for an afternoon of sonic exploration. The results of our collaboration are surprising and delightful!
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 finds me wearing my wormlogo hat and creating deep drones with the Strega Synthesizer and tape.
The Make Noise Strega is one of my recent instrument acquisitions, and I’ve enjoyed exploring its capabilities as a drone machine. These are three of those explorations.
(this is one of the podcasts that i think works best listened to very quietly… or extremely loud.)
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 is a haunting soundscape suitable for your halloweening needs.
