No, not that machine music, I mean music produced by machines. Recently Radiohead hosted a remix contest for their single “Nude,” which got some great responses, but none as awesome as James Houston’s cheeky take on the song.
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.
Similarly great (but relentlessly nerdier) is this video of a floppy drive. Your inner geek is freaking loving this.
