When this gets going, it gets quite nice.

Big Ideas (Don't get any) on Vimeo

Can we embed VIMEO [vimeo] on DT too? That would be most pleasurable. Please pretty please.

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 Guitar
Hard Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX

That's fucking amazing

Dusteh · 06-06-2008, 06:09

that is the best thing I've seen/heard in ages.

Rik · 06-06-2008, 06:17

if that doesn't win there will be riots.

played at doing that sort of geekery myself in the past. can say to do be able to get equipment to do that takes serious skill and dedication.

interesting to know if the chap can leave the equipment to play though one entire take... if so he needs to tour!

thats crazy. Can't believe how that works so well. I'm actually blown away by that.

Yes you're quite right, though the eat piercing cry of nurtured family of felines would have a produced a very different kind of Radiohead cover. Most inferior I would imagine.

That's well skill.

Rik · 06-06-2008, 06:58
