What does the title need to say to convey the sheer awesomeness of this??? I've watched it ten times and it is pure brilliance. Even the video quality are beyond gorgeous. Radiohead should use this as a video extra on their b-sides.

You're v. welcome.

While walking home from work today I saw someone had put an old external telephone modem and a dot matrix printer on the curb for garbage collection / recycling.

The thought occurred to me to take the gear with me to make some beautiful music. Then I remembered that I decided NOT to go into *engineering so I wouldn't end up knowing how to do much good with 20 year old electronics using my precious IT audit skillz.

This, I note, is a definite contender for top 15-age.

Such awesome videos get unfortunately overlooked, but I think people are sitting up and taking notice of the incredible work someone did here.

Yeah I tought about taking all the hard drives I have stacked around and trying my hand at the array speaker. I haven't really looked into it, but already love grabbing the rare earth magnets out of them so another use would be nice. This guy sure put some great work in not only on the setup, but the filming too. Love it.

Wow, I too was taken back by the Spectrum loading sounds/screen... happy days. (sort of, certainly don't want to go back to 2 minutes of loading only to find out there was an error some time during that and the game doesn't work, so you have to blow on the heads, realign them and try again... )
