What happens when you take a mad-genius creator of DIY electronic instruments, a vintage synth virtuoso and a music-tech maven, and get them to play together for the first time? Curious to find out, Patreon has assembled the all-star team of Look Mum no Computer, Cuckoo and Hainbach in a brand new supergroup: UNCOMPRESSED. With a debut show at Barcelona’s Sónar Festival fast approaching, Patreon followed the trio to LMNC’s museum of electronic esoterica on the British seaside, to document their first rehearsal against a backdrop of furby organs, antique electronics and enough oscillators to cause an earthquake.
