Fire up the Furby synth! Meet UK Eurovision entry Look Mum No Computer at his mind-boggling music museum
Sam Battle is a retro audio tech obsessive. Our writer gets a tour of his museum just as he unleashes his prized exhibit: a 1,000-oscillators-strong Megadrone!

TL;DR
- Sam Battle, known as Look Mum No Computer, is representing the UK at Eurovision.
- He runs 'This Museum is (Not) Obsolete' in Ramsgate, filled with restored analogue technology.
- Battle creates music by repurposing everyday items and complex electronic circuits.
- His Eurovision entry is a song with German lyrics and an upbeat, nonsensical theme.
- He built a "mini" Megadrone, the Kosmo synth, for his Eurovision performance as the full Megadrone was too large to transport.
- Battle is serious about his music, likening his Kosmo synth's sound to a signature instrument.
- His next project involves building a musical instrument from air raid sirens.
