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.
