Absolutely incredible.
Nice. What was with the oscilloscope? It only worked for visual measure. You should have used better microphones than live performance ones, it drastically reduces the sound’s quality. Great job, though.
I think you may have missed a point a little in regard to the live performance microphones. I believe it was a conscious decision to sacrifice such a ‘quality improvement’. Personally I feel it adds to the charm of the video.
If you haven’t already I suggest reading the description for this video.
“It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to.”
Looks like I stopped reading a little too early. Thanks for clearing that up.
Fantastic!
It’s so bad it’s just amazing and hilarious!!
How did he manage to program the HDD heads and the dot matrix to move like that!!
What a Greenwood-like genius!
I watched 100 times and I’m still amazed.
tottally fucking awesome! i almost cry of joy!
this is likeee the best video on youtube
YES!
awesome! amazing! brilliant!
There’s nothing about this video that isn’t perfect. Thank you so much.
I find it strange that at least one, probably more, make comments containing the phrase “too much free time,” as if creating anything interesting or beautiful or important didn’t take time and effort. It’s like saying I go to work or eat or read books because I have too much free time.
i absolutely agree. those people just want to flame, nothing else
its like this wasnt even more important than ordinary work. i find this to be really great and joyful, it makes more sense than sitting behind a desk all day drinking coffee and hating your life.
I think it’s haunting.. I heard it the first time for like one year ago (or something) and it has stayed with me since.
I love this so much, what ingenuity! Listen to the way he simulates inhaling around 3:10….eerie and beautiful
I hope this won first place if it was in a contest
i love this video! Sometimes i like it better than the real song.
this is still the best youtube video i have seen. thank you so much for putting this for us to enjoy & listen.
still i can’t seem to let this go, i watch this everyday several times and the song is really great! AWESOME!
I think i like it way more than the real song
That is probably Thom inhaling on the vocal track
Me too, I keep watching it at least once a week ever since it came out. It’s the best thing ever.
