midierror meets... Chris Spedding - Guitarist & Record Producer
 In this episode, we speak with Chris Spedding - guitarist to the stars and member of eleven bands, as well as being an established solo artist. Chris has played guitar for a wealth of artists including Roxy Music, Brian Eno, Phil Spector, Elton John, Ginger Baker, Nick Mason, Roger Daultry, Paul McCartney, David Essex, Art Garfunkel, Tom Waits, Joan Armatrading, John Cale, Paulo Nutini, and many more.
Much of his work has been as a guitarist, but he also produced the first ever Sex Pistols Demo Tape, garnering huge media attention - as well as being part of bands like Nucleus, The Sharks, Battered Ornaments, Frank Ricotti Quartet, King Mob, Necessaries, Nucleus, Trigger, and more. His latest solo Album, ‘Joyland’ features Bryan Ferry and Johnny Marr as guests, amongst others. His career spans many decades, and we can only scratch the surface on his incredible career.

midierror meets... JOMOX - 30 Years of Iconic Techno Machines
 In this episode, we speak to Jürgen Michaelis of JOMOX; the creator of some of the most essential and iconic techno machines over the last 3 decades, including the MBase, XBase, AlphaBase, Moonwind, M.Brane, Sunsyn, T-Resonator, and Resonator Neuronium (the latter is a neural network synth). We speak with Jurgen about how he got started, modding TR-909s and other gear, and discuss the polyphonic harmonic distortion he built into a guitar in 1988.
Jurgen single handedly runs JOMOX - designing the internal PCBs and electronic circuits, as well as creating their incredible casings, forming the UI/UX and much more - certainly a man of many talents! Users of his equipment include Prince, Trent Reznor, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin and anyone you’d care to mention in electronic music. We also discuss some of his art projects and installations as well as the benefits of meditation, and what else he’s working on.
