Floppy Drives play the Imperial Death March

Playing music on vintage computer hardware is not a new sport, in fact it is a fairly thriving demo scene at this point.

This particular video was making the rounds this morning, and I couldn't resist the urge to share.

I was brought back to this video, from several years ago. I consider it the pinnacle of achievement in this genre.

It doesn't get much better than this.

From the video description:

Based on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.
It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)

Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums

HP Scanjet 3c - Bass GuitarHard Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX

Thanks to Afrotech and Dr Roland Shregle (ganjatron)"

Enjoy!
