If you had told me in 1993 that the Doom music was composed on this thing I may have believed you. I think the Bletchley Park museum needs one of these!

This guy Paweł Zadrożniak is a genius. I'm copying these to MiniDisc tonight. So happy

Been quite down recently about the state of the UK's democracy and our UK MPs in particular. They are overpaid hissy fitting school children with little ability or comprehension of basic negotiation or indeed serving their nation. I needed cheering up.

In summary; 'Modern Life is Rubbish' but retro computing equipment rocks!

This is very cool. The sound is amazing and this wall of floppys - well for a kid from the 80ies... You know what I mean.

Still from the sound and video art work my favorite is this Gotye cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkaUsBwe0fo


But the floppytron has definitely more nerd appeal - chapeau!

I also liked his hipster phone dial thingie, actually thinking about building such a thing.

And I thought it was going to be a flop.

In the words of James Brown in some cover version. This is a hit!
