The Space Lady, aka Susan Dietrich Schneider, became a staple of the Bay Area outsider music scene through years of busking the streets out of necessity. Her ethereal, echo-­laden arrangements have won her a new generation of starry-­eyed admirers via her recent “greatest hits” compilation. Far Off Sounds hangs out in LA with Susan for a few days, filming performances on the street, onstage, and in the mountains, as we find out what circumstances brought Susan to live such a unique life.
