Big Ideas (Don’t Get Any):

Radiohead held an online contest to remix “Nude” from their album – “In Rainbows” This was quite a difficult task for all the electronic musicians that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that’s played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It’s near impossible to mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.

So what does this guy do? He remixes the song using a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, an Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer, and HP Scanjet 3c, and a Hard Drive array. That’s both awesome and incredibly geeky.
