the hard drive ding was a nice touch.

Nice, but it hardly compares to the Radiohead mix done in a simmilar style. It stops sounding musical after a bit, and just sounds like an old, chaotic computer lab.

I love the concept though.

This just makes me smile.

At least they picked something more original to play. Everybody plays Still Alive and the Super Mario World 1-1 theme on their old hardware, not everyone picks Bohemian Rhapsody.

Now to wait for the PC speaker / hard drive / dot-matrix rendition of Gimme All Your Lovin’ by ZZ Top.

definitely a more difficult song to reproduce (I mean Mario was midi based originally) but it’s just not as cleanly done as the other ones, it’s a bit out of sync and out of pitch. I do like that they tried to mix various hardware together though… _A_ for effort

The gong at the end was a brilliant touch!

I’m glad to see that I am not alone.
Not a terrible attempt, but the tone is off and the textures of key portions are missed… making me cry inside.

Considering what’s being used and how, I think a little leeway can be given as far as musical precision.

if not perhaps the point has been missed entirely

Don’t forget about treewave. They had an EP that was pretty excellent. He used an FM synth, dot matrix printer, and an old atari of some sort to do the music while a young gal did spacey vocals. Give them a listen if you want a more full-baked implementation of hardware music.

i think the point here is to create an interesting musical presentation, and if you’re going to cover a really well known song it’s going to stick out if the rhythms are kind of off.
regardless of that the technologic components are well done and the o-scopes are a great touch.

Wow, I really enjoyed that. Kinda inspired me to do something totally random for people to enjoy.

That sounds awful. I wan not able to listen more than half of the video.

Apart from the musical issue, nice approach!
