What do you do with all your old computers?

April 21, 2009 · Posted in video

You might remember the awesome video James Houston created for a Radiohead competition last year? He missed the deadline, but it’s a must see all the same.
skip to about 1 minute to see whats going on

On what i feel is the back of that video comes this video, of ancient computer equipment playing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Here’s what you hear, and see.

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.
