He was part of the first Billboard number 1 made in an entirely digital studio working alongside Desmond Child, and has consistently operated at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and musical artistry.  https://davidfrangioni.com/ Recommended Episode: midierror meets… Emily Dolan Davies [EP21] Live / Session Drummer 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.
