midierror meets... JOMOX - 30 Years of Iconic Techno Machines Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

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.

midierror meets... Spirit of Gravity - 25 Years of Experimental Live Music Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

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.
