Not many people will have heard of him, and perhaps not everyone will agree that he should even be mentioned as a musician, however the effects of his pioneering work on synthesising music on computers are far-reaching, ubiquitous and iconoclastic.

I am trying to remember the name of the guy here who was a technological wizard. He was about 70 when new bands started to turn up at his suburban semi and were given cups of tea by his wife while he got on with transforming basic recordings. Initially, I thought it was early 80s electronica but now I think it might have been two tone. (Sorry - I've been on the rhododendron walk and feel hazily Wordsworthian.)Last edited by Guest; 27-04-11, 21:46.Comment

....Actually, I've just started watching the 30 minute clip and it is very interesting. I will stick with it.
While I was between the orange and the yellow ones, I had a Eureka moment. This is absolutely genuine. I suddenly thought of an absolutely brilliant, unique, idea for computers that could transform them worldwide, be of immense benefit to everyone with a home pc, and certainly make me and anyone else involved into multi-millionaires. It is just that I haven't got the slightest clue how feasible it would be to do technically.
Any suggestions?Last edited by Guest; 28-04-11, 09:28.Comment

Write a business plan, ensure you have the words 'copyright' at the bottom of every page then get some funding.
Set up your business to develop the idea, get rich and, Lo another capitalist entrepreneur is born.

You make it sound easy. I'm not sure that I want to be a capitalist entrepreneur even if I could be.
I watched the clips last night, though very tired. Mr Mathews was an extraordinary guy, wasn't he?Comment

It is, he was.
I have no connection with these people currently, but they are an example of the kind of organisation who will provide funding and advice.
