Sam Battle (musician)

Sam Battle (born February 3, 1989), popularly known by his stage name Look Mum No Computer, is an East Anglia-based musician, YouTuber, electronic artist, and composer. Besides his music, Battle is known for his ability to create his analogue synthesizers, using different vintage technology and components such as a synthesizer fused with a classic Raleigh Chopper bicycle, a Gameboy Triple Oscillator, and a Furby organ. Through his YouTube and Patreon channels, Battle releases videos showcasing his electronic experiments.
==Music career==
Battle’s music is characterized by vocals performed under his frantic energy and dense and layered noises. In 2019, Battle released his first single, “Groundhog Day.” Following this, he released several other compositions such as “Modern Gas,” “Shock Horror,” “Ride,” “We’ll Find A Way”, “Stupid Me,” and several others, which gained him notoriety and recognition. In 2019, Battle also did a month-long music tour spanning UK, Germany, and Switzerland.
Battle has also written and produced music for others. Some of his credits include Glitter and Gold (with Barns Courtney) for Netflix's series Safe, Satellite Moment (with Charlie Fink), for the film adaptation of a Street Cat Named Bob, Do It Like You Do (with Kawala), and several others.
In 2022, Battle formed a musical supergroup with Cuckoo and Stefan Paul Goetsch (popularly known as Hainbach).
==YouTube==
Battle’s YouTube channel was created in 2013 for ZIBRA, a band formed by Battle, along with three friends. In 2016, the members separated, and Battle began sharing his tracks which he recorded with different musical machines. He began posting short videos on Facebook and YouTube, gaining people’s attention. In November 2016, with the release of the SYNTH BIKE 2.0 SYNTHESISER video, Battle amassed huge recognition with over 100,000 views within a short period of release.
Over the last seven years, Battle has been widely recognized for making esoteric and eccentric musical devices from vintage technology and posting videos on how he makes pro audio gears and synthesizers. In 2019, he developed a synthesizer based on a Furby, an electronic robotic toy, by wiring it into modular synthesizers. Battle started renovating a church organ built in 1914 in 2022 so that it might be displayed in This Museum is Not Obsolete. The process of restoring the organ has been shared through a video on Battle's channel. Components for modular synthesizers, such as the #1222 Performance VCO, are another product line that Battle manufactures and distributes. 
Battle’s successful projects have helped him to launch his own Patreon, through which he gains fan donations to fund his experiments. As of 2022, Battle’s YouTube channel has garnered over fifty-five million views.
