midierror Meets: Hexstatic - Series 2 -Ep 01 Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

The 'midierror meets...' interview series is back for Series 2 with Sonicstate, speaking to all kinds of people working in music and sound. For this episode we hear from Stuart Warren-Hill, the designer of the Hologauze - a thin veil which is projected onto for incredible pseudo-3D and parallax-type effects as used by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Eric Prydz, DJ Shadow, Max Cooper and more. He's also the man behind Hexstatic, known for his award winning audio/visual work, creating the world first visual album, and making 'Timber' - an era-defining music video highlighting the destruction caused by deforestation - and quite possibly the most remixed video of all time. He also has a lovely synth collection, including an ARP Quadra, Solina String Synth, and Thomas Dolby signed TB-303. https://www.holotronica.com/ https://stuartwarrenhill.com/ 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, Infec
