Remember floppy drives? I’m still weirded out by the fact that computers don’t come with them anymore.
Anyway, TheCanadianGamer11 posted a video of a bunch of disk drives playing Pollyanna:
Oh, humans, what WON’T you make music out of?

This is a really cool achievement! But the sound these drives make really hurt my ears. I definitely do not miss 3.5-in floppy drives!

I think it’s just me, but I can’t recognize the tune. It’s probably just because I’m a dork 😛

Wow, it’s amazing what some people are capable of doing with their old crap. I wonder how long it took to orchestrate this :O

Recently, on Radio PSI, a DJ played a recording of the Saturn Valley theme in MOTHER 2 was played on floppy drives.

Honest to God, when I see this stuff, I don’t think
“Wow how did they do that?” or
“That’s incredible”
I think to myself
“How the hell did someone even THINK to do that?!”

People have made music out of rubber bands. People have made music out of Tesla coils. I’m not surprised (well I am a little!).
This actually gives me an idea… I like the scratchy sound. I could see this working well as a sort of bass line.

“… He taught me to sing a song, Dave. Would you like me to sing it for you?”
“Yes, HAL, sing the song!”
“I believe the morning sun…”

O_o Woah! I only just heard that you posted it here, so I made an account. Firstly, I was the one who made the video. Secondly, I have all the info on how to do this inside the video description. Thirdly, Didn’t anybody notice that I used the “Wisdom of the World” font from the EB font pack?

You will also be happy to know this isn’t the last time I’ll make an EB themed video!

It’s beautiful… in a scratchy way.
