Peter Watkins gone. He was a hugely important filmmaker. Best known for The War Game but his 1964 Culloden film still influences way history TV is made today. It’s not perfect but it’s amazing and on YouTube as a good print. Watch it in his honour! youtu.be/-1TZq6DfKKA?...

Today I learned that the first drum machine was invented in the 12th century by Ismail al-Jazari, the father of robotics, who created a automaton band that played instruments powered by the flow of water. It featured a drummer whose rhythm could be programmed via wooden pegs in slots.
