I’ve compiled excerpts from five shows here (my performances were typically … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 135: Solos From Tour →
This month’s podcast features onewayness, from Erie, PA. It was recorded mid-way through a ten day tour of New York and New England that we did in April 2026.

We’ve seen each other on occasion since then, … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 134 with onewayness →

This month’s podcast features the steel cellos of Matt Samolis and Katie Down. Its a binaural recording from a performance at Drone Night at untouchable in Newburgh, NY. I played some small electronics (board chirper and kaoss pad through a lectern), which i think blend nicely with the otherworldly sounds of the steel cellos. I … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 132: Bowed Metal →
This month’s podcast features composer/sound artist Martin D. Fowler playing upright bass and doing some granular processing. I really enjoyed this one, its the first time there’s been an upright bassist on the podcast, and i think the results are beautifully contemplative.

This month’s podcast is from a recent performance at an art opening (Don’t Go In There!). It uses parts of my preparation for the show and material from the actual performance, and is as much sound design as music. It could be the perfect ominous ambiance for your halloweenining. (you might want to have a … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 127: don’t go in there →
This month’s podcast draws from three solo performances from summer 2025.* Two are solo guitar performances, with an electronic set sandwiched in between.

I’m especially into hydrophone sounds these days, which are very otherworldly (thanks to David Rothenberg for introducing … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 126 – Summer Summary →

My friend the Moose was in the area for the summer doing an internship, so we had the opportunity to record, play some shows and see some music.

This month’s podcast features experimental flutist/composer Jane Rigler. Jane recently moved to the Hudson Valley, and its been fun exploring a new sonic vernacular with her.

I used … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 122 with Jane Rigler →

The first was recorded on the evening of March 29, 2024 at the Rotunda as part of the Event Horizon series. Then the next morning I performed at Thunderbird Hall as part of the Chilladelphia series.

Its mid-winter here in the Northeast US. This month’s podcast is a series of solo guitar improvisations; contemplating winterness, and exploring the language of sound. Never miss a podcast, SUBSCRIBE! with Apple Podcasts, Feedburner or on YouTube.
This month’s podcast is a behind the scenes peek into how I prepare for a show. For a solo electronic performance I need to devise a system to improvise with that will produce (manageable?) unexpected results that I can respond to. (When improvising with other musicians, this takes care of itself.) In this case I … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 118: 3 Drones →

Here you’ll hear some of the tastiest bits … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 114: Biscuit Space! →
This month’s podcast gets quite experimental! I’ve lately been listening to some early electronic music: I love the abstract nature and pure tones of the pre-synthesizer era. Also, I recently saw the film Forbidden Planet, and its amazing soundtrack inspired this podcast. I recommend listening to this one in the dark and seeing where the … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast 113: Electronic Tonalities →
This month’s podcast is a live performance with Brian Dewan and Elizabeth Karp recorded in the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, NY.

This month’s podcast was recorded live at the first installment of the Noise Reduction series. Its a collaborative improvisation with synthesist David Mason.

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 pretty special. It features Dean Sharp, who was the first collaborator on the podcast (#3), and who has made several appearances, but on all of those he focused on guitar. This time, he’s gone back to his roots and plays drums(!)
While I’ve dipped my toes into the water, with percussion(ists), this is the first time I’ve had a drummer, playing drum kit on the podcast, and our recording session was a bit of a breakthrough for me. As an ambient musician, I’ve always been somewhat drum-phobic, but Dean is a fantastic listener and has a good understanding of what I do and I think our collabo, while not strictly ambient, resulted in some beautiful improvisations.

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.

That is followed by a remote collaboration with sound collagist Riprap.
And it concludes with a recording from Buddy Fest 7 which took place in Kingston, NY on Jul 23, 2022.

We enter new (sonic) territory this month with percussionist Kevin Cheli.
I’ve always been a bit apprehensive about having a percussionist on the podcast; I could never get my head around how it would work. But, as I keep reminding myself, “there’s only one way to find out!”
So Kevin came to the studio with his vibraphone, percussives and electronics and I think the results are great. There’s a whole new lexicon of textures, sometimes approaching the world of ASMR. Its gets pretty noisy, but there are also melodic moments and lots of beautiful sounds. Open your ears and enjoy the ride.

Sonic Hudson returns this time in a collabo with my wormlogo persona. I packed up some synthesizers, donned my wormlogo hat and headed over to Sonic Hudson’s studio.

This month’s podcast sees the return* of Tom Law, but with a twist! In addition to being an experimental musician, Tom has an interest in early music and brought along his Viola da Gamba to our session.

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.

Concetta Abbate is a classically trained … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast Eighty Four: with Concetta Abbate →
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 … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast Eighty Three: Back to Basics →
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 … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast Eighty Two – A Slow Start with wormlogo →
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.

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.)

This month’s podcast is a live solo performance from June 2021 in Goshen, NY at the Orange County Arts Council.

Its nice to post an unedited performance like … Continue reading Errant Space Podcast Seventy Eight: Live at OCAC →
