Perfect, you never need better setup for the thing that’s called music widely by the masses.

Hey James, out of curiosity did you get the idea for the HDD speakers from Afrotechmods.com? A good friend of mine runs that site.

The hard drive speakers give a really spooky/ghostly eerie tone to the vocals. Very nicely done! and yes, this does belong in a museum. One question, why so many HD’s as speakers? Does each platter produce a different frequency of the sound or is it for amplitude?

wow this is really amazing, i especially like how he filmed it and didn’t just whip out a dv camera — it makes it look like it was actually from the 80s.

Gotta give credit where it’s due: that was incredible. And I don’t even listen to Radiohead.

Also, microphone placement has everything to do with using that scanner as a bass. We all know how noisy the steppers in those things are, but I had no clue that they resonated on the low end so much: maybe it’s the scanner enclosure itself that helps, kind of like a guitar?
