Music through obsolescence (Radiohead remixed)


Big Ideas (don’t get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.

Radiohead, the popular UK rock band, has been asking fans online to remix (rehash, reconfigure, remake) a track from their (relatively) new album in rainbows, which itself made news for the fact that they offered the two-disc set to fans online for whatever price they saw fit to pay.

The above vid is a pretty brilliant take on the song, using old or obsolete hardware such as hard drives, a scanner and a dot-matrix printer to replace instrument tracks.
