Groundhog Day - Look Mum No Computer Session With Red Bull Music

- Here is the See Hear Now session i did with Red Bull Music!
From Red Bull Musics Site :-
"Hacker-come-musician Sam Battle dealt with the loneliness of going solo in typically inventive manner: he gave his synth a face. Now making electronic agit-pop as Look Mum No Computer, the 27-year-old started out, like many before him, playing guitar in bands. But he’d always been into DIY, taking his dad’s soldering iron to household appliances as a kid and teaching himself to circuit bend with his toys.
Eventually, he built up to making weird and wonderful musical machines: check out the flamethrower organ which shoots jets of fire as it plays, or the fully-rideable synth bike, which pumps out beats to the tempo of its wheels. And let's not forget the terrifying instrument comprised of 50 singing Furbies. Essentially, he’s a modern-day musical Frankenstein.
In this energetic See. Hear. Now. session, you can see Battle playing Kosmo the modular synth. This huge touring synth, he says, is relatively 'sensible' by his standards - aside, of course, from the aforementioned animatronic face.
Unsurprisingly, Look Mum No Computer’s songs are often about embracing a lack of convention. Second track Groundhog Day rails against the monotony of a 9-to-5 existence governed by Post-It notes and promotions, while Modern Gas calls out the hollowness of politics, capitalism and social media. ‘GAS’, Battle tells us, also stands for Gear Acquisition Syndrome: an addiction to purchasing synths."

At risk of showing how little of your stuff I've heard, I'm fucking impressed with your singing! A lot of synth gearheads can't sing for shit but your singing is on point, plus great lyrics
I am dying to hear more of the 100osc drone, son. Work that in
You’re a genius that needs Jesus! Love your vids man. My first synth was a MS10 great to see it out front.
Was thinking similar. Great singer, electronics genius, pick one but no this guys a polymath or something. how irritating :p
Bravo
I'm a 42 year old Minnesota man. I do the same shit every day. I came across this young person and I'm sharing his jams with a lot of my musician friends. Nice work, dude.
46 year old from Connecticut here. I stumbled across this channel and I've been completely obsessed with it since. I had no idea how all of this comes together and I feel kinda guilty that I never gave this artform the credit it deserves.
Excellent singing , brilliant original song and music, you sir are a genius.
excellent singing is not what i am hearing, but this is synthesizer genius punk music ;)
@@qpidnyx3329 Best thing since Skinny Puppy.
@@qpidnyx3329 Yes, the synth stuff is genius, but the singing uh.. needs some work
@@Kalumbatsch - Ach, he's alright. It works with the tracks and has plenty of charm IMO.
Very few people realize how insane this performance really is.
BUt some of us get it
This is legitimately one of the best songs I have heard this decade. No exageration.
It definitely is.
Dang that was good!...... Flip!
my boy barnaby has good taste.. Pleasure seeing you here
excellent taste my old chap
"Don't believe in Facebook"
Has a link to his Facebook and Instagram in description.
pretty much!
(just letting you know, i am not criticizing, the song is great just kinda found that funny. Good day.)
Yeah, use it, we don’t have solid alternatives, but don’t trust it. And, it’s great song.
Just as with politicians, all of them are fucked up to no end. But unfortunately we don't have anything else...
We don't have any other politicians as long as we keep voting for the ones that are already in power.
And we don't have any actual alternatives to Facebook as long as so many people are only on Facebook and not on the actual alternatives that already exist.
This is called the network effect.
It doesn't feel like it would make sense to sign up to another social network as long as you friends are not signed up. But as long you don't sign up your friends won't sign uo neither. And Facebook only makes sense because all of your friends are already there.
We had the same problem when the telephone was invented. Why should you get a telephone when nobody else has one?
This sounds like a hen-egg-problem but it is a little bit more complex. The usefulness of a system that is subject to the network effect is raising together with the number of users of that system.
Also many people don't want to vote for small parties because they think they won't make it into the parliament anyway. So you only waste your vote. But many of those parties only won't make it into the parliament because so many voters think like this.
I often thought about an additional vote for everyone that solves that problem. Your primary vote goes to the party you really want to support. Even if it's just a very small one. Your secondary vote will go to a party where you have no doubt they will make it into the parliament. But it's only counted if the party that gets you primary vote actually doesn't make it int othe parliament. If in your country the parties are financed with tax money based on their votes, only the primary vote counts. This way you even support your favorite party when they won't make it into the parliament.
Wait.. is that giant modular synth just sitting on a keyboard stand?
Pretty much I'd say!
Custom, hand built by him, one of a kind, just balanced like that.
yup.
That's how he gets his gear to sound so good. He constantly reminds them of how close they are to death so they perform like it's their last
He did it in water to 😓
What can we say he is just an original!!
A real artist :D
Jesus that was impressive. I had no idea LMNC had such a good voice too.
I don't work for anyone, run my own graphic design business (alone) and compose and perform music. This type of creative lifestyle is far from boring day to day all the same. Every month at the end of the month I don't know if I will be homeless....don't know if enough money will be there to pay bills....not boring at all....:)
yeap, its a way of living man, and for some of us... its worthy, real worthy :)
Amen
You're irritatingly talented. Amazing. Love it.
Everyone who didn't know he could sing should check out his band "zibra"
Eric Chenier I don’t even know how their wasted days song was not a hit. Lmnc remix of it is nice too
Still waiting to find out why the band broke up...
F
I like your voice and your singing!
Now that's a one man band. O no, I mean a two man band. Don't forget kosmo.
That first track is genius. You sing with a soul and a passion, and I hope you continue your work and making the world a better place. Will definitely be getting that album 😁💖✌️
So...when are Sam and Colinfurze going to colab?
Cody Walz yes great idea, they should make some kind of music machine.
Colin left a comment asking for a collab in one of his videos and Sam replied. Dunno what's the current status of that though.
right! God I feel like they could make the most epic shit
colin makes pointless crap
Or Sam and Project Jenny Project Jan :D
Id love to befriend this madman
ALBUM ALBUM AAAAALBUUUUUM, PLEASE! 😁😂😄
YES!!! :D
You can find his band Zibra on Spotify
Austin Hayes oh, I know! But I would want new creations! 😊
Austin Hayes somebody say zebra?
Yes, demanding an album!!!!!!!!
Your productions genuinely give me chills at times. Amazing.
You sound like The Wombats. That's a huge compliment. I love that band.
Dig it! Heck yes. Keep going! Can’t wait for an album!
Love the raw energy, genuine, brilliant!
An amazing piece of work - I'm blown away that you can control all those synths in real-time AND hold down a kick-ass tune at the same time!! Great lyrics too; you really nailed that performance!
Holy shite! That's talented. Didn't even knew LMNC could sing that good
Sing that good? That singing is pretty.. erm.. you know
Also hes jumping around and doing a thousand things at the same time so try doing that and sounding as good as he does...its hard and I think he sounds damn good anyway...❤
@@Kalumbatsch It was really fucking good for this style.
@@jas_bataille I'm not going to insult him but he should do his synth stuff and get a singer.
I’m really digging the punk feel of what he does. The DIY synths, the roughness of the analog sound, the message of the lyrics. His voice goes perfectly with all that
Just an unbelievable good performance. The Songs are very nice too !
Just when you thought ,…it was safe ,.,.,then this !!!
Brilliant. He's performing live while he mixes. The lyrics, arrangement, and production are stellar. His timbres are tasteful. I don't know what else to say. My wife was singing these songs in the shower. I thought she was singing some Queen.
Absolutely brilliant. Love this blend of grunge synth pop...anarchistic with a great lyrical edge. Id buy the album...now! 😀👍
Wow, hadn’t seen you sing and play a ton the same time. I was impressed before, but wow. Nice voice too, really glad we got to talk!
So unique, innovative and incredibly talented. Love you Sam
Hey Sam, you deserve the title of "Artist/Personality Of The Century" ! Your creativity is limitless with such a good Music !
You're really inspirational with your DIY synths ! Thanks mate to make our days "Happy Days" :-)
Holy shit mate, I knew you could sing but those vocals were powerful.
As always, love what you do, keep doing what you love and have a good one.
Love the LinnDrum top! (And the music!)
Phenomenal job dude! You're a real inspiration!
You have a sound down that I makes me think of the 80s, but I also am reminded of music from the early 00s. Well done, sir!

Loved the second song.
Such emotion from the metallic wire monstrosities, great lyrics too

Boi u better start a Europa tour with all this stuff
50 EUR entry.... Like really... For a three to four hour gig...
What a nightmare to ship all that shit around europe. Haha
Not that bad, It's probably like one vans worth of stuff and depending on the venue they might have their own amp setup for smaller gigs
@@paradonym 17€ in my city in Germany.
@@OutOfRangeDE - That's very reasonable.
great music!
WHOA. I subbed for crazy synths and your wonderful energy, but holy crap are you talented too!! Awesome tunes man, love your vocals over them milky synths.
Help i’m literally obsessed with this man
Excellent!
Awesome video
Good gracious. And he can also sing :-) Your girl friend must be very proud of you ;-)
Groundhog day is a hit! I mean, literally, it is a hit in every sense!
Love it dude well done!
Multi task master. Got these songs burned into my brain!
I really dig this song!!!
Modern gas my all time fav song amazing love your creative energy ❤
7:00 I relate! Bruvva, I can totally relate! I'm housebound with a chronic pain thing, mucking about with synths and electronics (I seem to spend most time fixing my oscilloscopes) is what keeps every day from being Groundhog Day.
Keep twisting them knobs, mate, a deal MUST be on your horizon... if you don't decide to build your own mastering setup first, of course.
You do well with the new space you have. Top
Beautiful
You´re amazing artist!
ground hog day is great. love it ! 💣💣💣
Amazing. Also the self cut Hair. I love it.
