Outer Space

SPACE is among the many tasks helmed by Cleveland-based synthesizer master John Elliott, most widely known for co-founding the acclaimed ambient trio Emeralds aswell as curating Range Spools, a sublabel of Editions Mego. Accurate to its name, Outer Space’s many produces tend to be themed around superstars, planets, and galaxies, as well as the music can be appropriately zoned-out, which range from loud, alien abstractions to hypnotic ambient techno. While SPACE has often contains Elliott single or together with Andrew Veres, additional frequent collaborators possess included Jeff Hatfield, Adam Miller, Drew McDowall, and Ralph Hausmann. Elliott 1st started using the name SPACE in 2007. Throughout 2008 and 2009, many limited cassettes and CD-Rs of moving, weightless consumer electronics (often documented live to tape) had been issued on brands like Wagon and Arbor, including two break up produces with Oneohtrix Stage Never. This year 2010, the task made its vinyl fabric debut having a self-titled LP on Arbor and a break up LP with Raglani, released by Nihilist. By this time around, Outer Space experienced shifted to a far more melodic, arpeggio-heavy audio similar from what Emeralds had been producing at that time. A restricted LP of old recordings entitled Last Vacuum Demos, Vol. 1 premiered by Wagon in 2011. The entire year 2012 noticed the almost simultaneous release from the even more melodic Akashic Record (Occasions: 1986-1990) on Range Spools as well as the even more abstract, minimal II on Blast First Petite. SPACE then proceeded to go in even more of the techno-influenced direction, showing up on the 2013 remix EP by Ectomorph’s Erika Sherman before launching the Phantom Middle 12″ on Editions Mego in 2014. The task added a remix to Cloud Nothings’ Right here and Nowhere Else Remixed, released by North Spy during Apr of 2015 for Record Shop Time. Outer Space’s Gemini Collection LP premiered by Amethyst Sunset in November of 2016.
