Genuinely nice bloke too I met him in Ramsgate, UK at This Museum Is Not Obsolete and he was talking to me while soldering something or other. Museum is crazy too if you've not been you definitely should.
Live performance, top interaction, making musics from zero and What they ask, total domination with an instrument and he made it. This is a natural born entertainer. The top of The tops. I can do the same eating mud. 😂
I also appreciate the crowd, sure they wouldn't attend if they didn't know what it was but, they understand well that this is top of the line live improv music in the making.
I, I can’t believe this guy has any haters. He’s just doing his thing and sharing with people that enjoy it. It would be like hating a puppy or a kitten.
Daft Punk/Two French Robots < Look Mum No Computer/One Limey Brit Brilliant! The fact he can actually sing whilst fiddling all those knobs is fantastic. Love it!
I'm really laughing at people in the comments not realizing that he's doing all this on the fly based on the audience suggestions, and each time it's different. Try playing your version of a random song from a suggestion from an audience you smartie pants. The rest of the show is his music. You are judging the entire performance based on a small segment while you probably couldn't improvise an answer on what you like to do in your free time. Get a life you jokers
I only speak English, but if this comment said something along the lines of make it public, thanks to both you and the uploader for letting me listen to this! It's awesome!
Ja, ich danke dir auch. Weil gibt es mehr videos wie dieses, bitte machen die public auch! (Sorry for my bad German I from the USA and only know the basics).
Ill admit its not great, but for people booing- a, can you do better on a home made modular synth with zero prep time(no) and b have you heard this guys polished stuff(also probably no)? Unreal bangers one after another.
When he's asking if it's 16 or 32, is he talking about timing steps? If so, why is it 32 and not 16? (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,14)? I have to admit, I want it to be 16 *and* to have the guy he was lecturing about confidence turn out to be David Ball.
No it’s 32 steps. Tap your foot at about 140 bpm (a fast walk). Now hum the riff over it and you’ll find it’s 8 taps of your foot. Each tap is a quarter note (or 4/16ths) so therefore the total is 32 steps, a step being 1/16th.
sure, but why does each quarter note need 4 timing steps? I don't hear any 16th notes in the riff. It seems to go: 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/8, dotted 1/4. So 16 1/8th-note steps should be sufficient.
when he started singing and tried 5 different keys at once that was bad and then the bass kicks in in a whole different key again its like hanging around in studio having fun playing around with some loops and stuff and then going home without anything real being produced but paying for it and gathering a crowd for it its kinda weird innit i mean i know him he is very talented but this kind of live performances i dont get
It's an under ten minute segment out of of an entire show, he figures out an audience request on the fly and performs it on a modular synth he built himself. Anybody who knows anything about LMNC's show knows in advance that this will happen. Let's see you do it and see how well you can pull it off. SMH, the ipad generation don't get it...
In a world of perfect digital recordings the analog man is king of a curious spectacle. The primitive gear he built for himself is not just impressive by its size and complexity but also the dangerous levels of current flowing through the crude half open contraption with dozens of wire's flowing out of it like a well of snakes. The analog man risk's his life not only through electrocution but also by being hit by a bottle if he upsets the crowd that seems constantly in a demanding drunken state of mind.

hi! i know this probably just isn't your type of music and that is totally okay (i like mozart too!), but the device he is running is called an analogue synthesizer, and it predates modern micro-controllers and modern synths. its more like a giant oscilloscope and waveform generator with a built in keyboard. it takes a tremendous amount of technical knowledge to work with one of these, not to mention the multiple other instruments and musical creations he has made on his channel. there is still considerable technical aptitude and ability involved in what you are seeing here, it's just different from the type of music you're referencing, and unlike most music we here is being done live on the fly with no pre-tuned reference ranges. that's one of the reasons he was asking for chords and step counts.
Mozart was a prodigy that stands as one of the most well known musicians of all time, and probably always will. This guy is not going to compare to Mozart, but neither is whoever your favourite modern artist is. Cut him some slack, either enjoy what he's able to create or just listen to someone else.
Mozart didn't build any of the instruments he used/wrote for. This guy is an electrician, musician, vocalist, songwriter, editor, producer the list goes on.

You are watching a song performed completely live on a machine that the artist built themselves with zero rehearsal that they've never performed before. I wouldn't have a clue where to start with that instrument.

@@JoachimKesselLoL
Yeah he is a true freak. He is brilliant, and is so full of potential.
I feel he is really going somewhere with his adventure
So glad he's dealing with synthesizer s not with nuclear weapons...😂
He just seem to be a natural entertainer
I know right? The 3 minutes before we get any music are pretty entertaining as welll
Genuinely nice bloke too I met him in Ramsgate, UK at This Museum Is Not Obsolete and he was talking to me while soldering something or other. Museum is crazy too if you've not been you definitely should.
Talking to Sam while he's busy soldering something should be considered an additional honor.
Ah you found this wild creature in its natural habitat, very nice hahahah
His abilities in both music and tech always amaze.

Hahahaha, why are there so many haters in here? 🤣🤣🤣
You d!©|{#€∆d$ know he built those synths and totally figured that track out on the spot, right? 😁 Make music, and then do it infront of a crowd and come back to this comment section when you're done. See if your perspective has changed. Music is art, its value subjective. If you don't like it, don't sit through it. 😅 But i digress.
I, I can’t believe this guy has any haters. He’s just doing his thing and sharing with people that enjoy it. It would be like hating a puppy or a kitten.
I agree he's extremely talented and a great entertainer.
I disagree that you can't critique something unless you can do better.
@@blueninety Yeah, but you either have interesting points and original perspectives, or you're just another drunk bloke in a bar
oh crap i didnt even know he was in cologne wouldve gotten tickets otherwise
I had Tickets but got Stuck in Traffic on A44. Stupid burning Lorry...
"Look Mum No Computer" has another 20 min techno music on his channel.
He is true artist. 👍
Its crazy because his singing started SUPER off key and peogressively got so much better.
I keep thinking
He's too good to not know it
But he's keeping crowd engagement by asking for help
Maybe he’s related to Les Dawson! His off key piano was incredible and took real talent ????
I love it. I'd love to see one of his shows. He's very interactive and the audience becomes part of the show.
He didn`t try he made it better !
Come on...
🤦♂️
You’re like a gta 6 bot that escaped the test server
Sam has an amazing talent and skillset ❤
what a gem
Not quite sure whats going on but oh man its very intriguing.
Daft Punk/Two French Robots < Look Mum No Computer/One Limey Brit
Brilliant!
The fact he can actually sing whilst fiddling all those knobs is fantastic.
Love it!
If he made a set where he remade a set of classics with his set up, I'd watch it.
Thank you so much for sharing!
A million times better than anything I’m capable of.
He should be a superstar..
it’s ok. His time will come when he’s a household name for being a MADD GENUIS! 👏🏽🙌🏽
Wow, what a find,I’m definitely going to the next gig!
it’s like hanging out with your buddy that just got a new rig and want to show it off
Love this gent. A genuine and unique talent.
key word: "tries" LOL this guy is madness
Thanks for the upload. Hope to see Sam live some day.
thank you so much. I moved country before I could see him live.
What a great job filming this.
He is full of talent! ❤
i´ve been there. That was so funny! Thanks a lot for uploading!
Genius - no need for artificial intelligence for this bloke
Such a legend 😂❤
This must have been so great to see live!
Dude needs to tour Australia!

This comment has "leave Brittany alone" vibes all over it.
Chillax, homie.
@@James_Bee It's a video about a guy manually making electronic music in front of people. You're the outlier here bud
Sam's a great mind and creator engineer artist.
That was fun! Thanks for sharing that vid
What a sick show!
Thats awsome! Sam is so different!
3:04 no one could clap because of phone
That seems like such a chill and fun concert.
Love this
This guy is awesome haha
Oh damn he was in Köln? Totally missed it … u_u
Das war so cool, mach das Video doch public!

@@GoatMen Sorry, I only recorded this part of the show.
Marc Almond would be proud
That was more of a last 8 than a middle 8. I liked the Moroder Jazz Odyssey right before that. Fun!
What was the song name? Can’t find „the longest“ from middle 8
He also builds all his hardware!
Put him in a good studio and he'd produce the best versions of classic songs from the 80's and 90's
He did a cover of Alice DJ - Better off alone a few years back with his old band, it's amazing.
SO FREAKING COOL
What's the name of the second song he starts? Can't tell what he's sating
Sam is the legend.
Improvised Impromptu Pop amazing.
Tries? I say he nailed it.
what is that last melody he started to play i KNOW ive heard it somewhere but i dont know where
i like this more than the soft cell version
6:09 My Name Is Skrillex vibes 🔥
Flyne at the mighty wurlitzer
analogue livecoding :)
Tries is the key word here...Tries...and fails!
That’s the problem in a nutshell, pattern 97.

Sam is Genius pro
entertaining .😎
How does one meet one of these synth twiddlers? Asking for a friend. 👀
😂
Where does the artist name end?
Damn why all the hate at the bottom of the comment section?
Most people in the world are plain idiots
I counted 8 steps. lol
I got Coil vibes :D
Put the phones away and dance people! 😢
I love Sam ❤
one, two, three, techno... 😀😂
The cone head version is best.
What’s his @ ?
This was wonderful, but his tempo changes mid song were a bit off-putting and then it went into some kind of eclectic Tron-solo. :-)
When he's asking if it's 16 or 32, is he talking about timing steps? If so, why is it 32 and not 16? (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,14)?
I have to admit, I want it to be 16 *and* to have the guy he was lecturing about confidence turn out to be David Ball.
(though, if you wanted to play all of the pats, I think it's 48, as the song seems to me to be in 6/8 time.)
No it’s 32 steps. Tap your foot at about 140 bpm (a fast walk). Now hum the riff over it and you’ll find it’s 8 taps of your foot. Each tap is a quarter note (or 4/16ths) so therefore the total is 32 steps, a step being 1/16th.
sure, but why does each quarter note need 4 timing steps? I don't hear any 16th notes in the riff. It seems to go: 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/8, dotted 1/4. So 16 1/8th-note steps should be sufficient.
Length in bars
If this is correct then I'm *really* confused, as bars = measures. As I hear it, the riff is 4 measures long at most.
😮
And sorry that it was my wish … he just asked for a song not for a good song ;)
👍
Who is this?
Define 'this'.

It has more DAWs and AUv3 plugins than your phone 😊

"tries"
wrong key totally but hey!
when he started singing and tried 5 different keys at once
that was bad
and then the bass kicks in in a whole different key again
its like hanging around in studio having fun playing around with some loops and stuff and then going home without anything real being produced but paying for it and gathering a crowd for it its kinda weird innit
i mean i know him he is very talented but this kind of live performances i dont get
Yes, but it's a small part only
Plus sometimes he completely nails it
People paid money to see this?
Yup, but prepared part of performance was better than that 'cover'
A crowd gathers for some mundane electonics....what have people become ?
Lazy spellrs.
They became entertained for a night, had fun together and weren't a sad sack like some.

Bet Mozart (or you probably) couldn’t build his own VCOs and the like and operate them live. Could you even get a note out of that system.
I had to stop the video when he started singing, all the cats in the neighbourhood started howling. Do people actually pay to go and see this shite?
Obviously they do, and what they find value in is up to them as it's their time and money, not mine or yours, get it?
