September 01, 2025 midierror meets... Spirit of Gravity - 25 Years of Experimental Live Music
Enduring monthly music event, featuring Shitmatt, Metronomy & more

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 Shittmatt, Metronomy, Tim Exile, Scanner, Asmus Tietchens 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. 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.

July 09, 2025 midierror meets... Scanner - Artist, Composer, & Sound Designer | Series 2 Episode 8
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.
