Conductor?
But only because of the imperious wave he used to give the orchestra the
tempo.

Yes - "The Typewriter" - 1050, rather unimaginative title.

is it me, or did the early news quiz use an early BBC recording of Mr
Anderson's opus? and have they dropped the actual trypewriter part in

one with a cat-inna-box, right?
Just zis Guy, you know?

therefore a percussionist, innit?
b) Too hard.

The answer to this question, at least, is found here (same performance)

Which tells us "Viennese Percussionist Martin Breinschmid with his
version of the "Typewriter" Live at the BASF concert hall

given was to vote for one or other of the politicians.
