Errant Sound has been dedicated to experimental work in sound related arts, including installation, performance, fieldwork, voice, radio and spatial practices. Through exhibitions, presentations, events, residencies and workshops, Errant Sound emphasizes an engagement with process and dialogue, encouraging a dynamic and diverse approach to the sound arts.

As a project space, it also intends to foster social and public activities, contributing to the creative scene in Berlin and its artistic communities. However, it defines itself as a sound art gallery – not a concert space.

Founded in 2010 by Brandon LaBelle as Errant Bodies, an initial project space group had been formed in 2013 (Brandon LaBelle, Georg Klein, Jeremy Woodruff, Serge Baghdassarians), soon extended by more artists, researchers, curators, and writers focusing on sonic research and sound practices. Since 2016 it operates under the title Errant Sound and got the Berlin Project Space Award (Projektraumpreis), since 2017 the group is registered as an official association: Errant Sound e.V. (Gemeinnütziger Verein).

The working group develops initiatives and an experimental program of presentations, events, and exhibitions not only in their project space but also in public space and other locations. In 2018 the group founded a new festival format, the DYSTOPIA sound art biennial (developed by Georg Klein, Jeremy Woodruff and Golo Föllmer), establishing international cooperations with Turkey, Brazil, India and others. In 2021 THE LISTENING BIENNIAL was launched by Brandon LaBelle fostering a transnational network comprised of partner institutions, organizations and spaces. Ongoing event series like Stadt-Klang-Text (2014), the Acousmatic Lectures (2016-17, initiated by Mario Asef), Ready Making (2019-2022, initiated by Steffi Weismann and Janine Eisenächer), Anima Mundi (since 2022 by Janine Eisenächer et.al.) and the Sonic Art Bar (since 2023 by MaxJoy) shape the activities of the project space, ranging from performance sound art to pure listening sessions.

Errant Sound has been located from 2010 til 2018 in Kollwitzstrasse (Prenzlauer Berg), from March 2019 til February 2024 at Rungestrasse 20 (Berlin-Mitte) and since July 2024 at Gerichtstrasse 45 (Wedding), sharing the space with Miss Read.
