I met Sam Battle, AKA “Look Mum No Computer” at Maker’s Central in Birmingham, and it was brilliant! He turned up with a collection of some of his weird and wonderful creations. The Tellytubby Tidal Wave was my favourite, closely followed by the Furby synthesizer module.
He’s a really lovely guy. Expect no showbiz polish; he’s just someone who clearly enjoys tinkering and sharing that enjoyment. Watching him play, you could tell he cares about both the sound and the engineering behind it. Sam’s truly the best of British: boundless creativity, a talent for engineering, and a great sense of humour. I challenge anybody to meet Sam and his creations and walk away without a smile.
