SONIC TALK - Inside Music Technology

In this episode, we hear from Geoff Reader aka DJ Cheesemaster from Brighton’s longest running live experimental music night; Spirit of Gravity. For the last 25 YEARS, the collective have hosted a monthly music event with 3 acts per night, with a focus on bringing experimental music and sound performances to the fore. While live outsider art and experimental sound generation are welcomed they have some illustrious alumni, including Shitmat, Metronomy, Tim Exile, Scanner, Toshimaru Nakamura, Monty Oxymoron, Asmus Tietchens, David Thomas, Eugene Chadbourne, and many more.  The night is a perennial fixture in Brighton’s music scene - an enduring event at a time when live music is sadly struggling. We hear from the compare and collective member, Geoff who is known for donning a ginger wig and hosting the events as only he knows how. We also discuss SoG gives people from any walk of life a stage to perform and express their sound art, music projects, and stories - with some incredibly experimental, and sometimes challenging shows.  https://spiritofgravity.com/ https://spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/ Submit your music to play Spirit of Gravity here: https://forms.gle/BhRPAiiRYU1Y9srS8 ‘A Poem in Six Parts’ by Nick Rilke read by Sasha Goguel https://www.sashavoicemale.com/ Recommended Episode: Sound Art Hannah - Hannah Kemp Welch - midierror meets Episode 15 BONUS: Get 15% off ANY device in midierror’s Max4Live store using the code MIDIERRORSONICSTATE15 This is series 2, episode 9 and there are 50 previous episodes available now featuring Fatboy Slim, CJ Bolland, Andrew Huang, Tim Exile, High Contrast, Mylar Melodies, Infected Mushroom, DJ Rap, John Grant and many more.

Welcome to the latest episode of the midierror meets... interview series speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound. In this episode, we hear from Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud - a ridiculously prolific artist, composer, sound designer, performer, collaborator, curator, and activist. He made his name searching radio frequencies for fragments of conversations, messages and announcements - which he lovingly intertwined with his own musical pieces and performances. His career spans culture across a spectrum of disciplines; including music, cinema, ballet, art, drama, theatre, installations and much more.      We caught up with him last year soundtracking the films of Harry Smith in Brighton, which he's done for the likes of Jean Luc-Goddard,as well as working in collaboration with people like Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson and many more. We talk about what it's like to be a public figure with an image to uphold, owning Aphex Twin's Buchla, and how to ghost-bust your house - and whether to sample it or not! Robin also presents Ear Space, a monthly exploration of sounds and music.    https://scannerdot.com/ https://www.totallyradio.com/shows/earspace   This is series 2, episode 1 and there are 50 previous episodes available now featuring Fatboy Slim, CJ Bolland, Andrew Huang, Tim Exile, High Contrast, Mylar Melodies, Infected Mushroom, DJ Rap, John Grant and many more.
