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.

The style + sound design for this game appeal though I've never played it. Lovely trailer.

hyprd.mn/clip/4118128... I die horribly in "Hyper Demon," a great video game. One review I read said that "Hyper Demon" is "the closest anyone has come to making a video game." I'm inclined to agree.

Anyone have some juicy primary sources re: ornamental hermits? Their comings? Goings? Journals? Anything welcome, incl. apocrypha, deceptions, etc.
