Cool remix of Queen's Boehmian Rhapsody using old hardware, found via [H]ardOCP. From Youtube comment:
There are millions of computers sitting idle at home consuming fantom electricity. Let's see where all that power is going. This is dedicated to all fans of Queen and hey let's not forget about Mike Myers and Dana Carvey of Wayne's World.
Please note no effects or sampling was used. What you see is what you hear (does that even make sense?)
Atari 800XL was used for the lead piano/organ sound
Texas Instruments TI-99/4a as lead guitar
8 Inch Floppy Disk as Bass
3.5 inch Harddrive as the gong
HP ScanJet 3C was used for all vocals. Please note I had to record the HP scanner 4 seperate times for each voice. I tried to buy 4 HP scanners but for some reason sellers on E-Bay expect you to pay $80-$100, I got mine for $30.
Keep in mind these are scanners and floppy dirves and not musical instruments.

I think printers/consumer devices . should come with inbult songs and then by doing something random u can play them . ore maby it can print u work whast playing a tune. it would certainly reduce depressoin in the work place

I'll be dirty then. I like it because it evokes nostalgia on multiple levels and I'm impressed with the technical work to make this happen. (even though he may have laid down separate tracks)
