Antiquated Hardware Used to Masterfully Remix Radiohead's Nude

by Darren Murph on June 7, 2008 at 12:16 PM


It takes some serious game to rise above the legions of mediocre DIYers out there and stand tall as a true legend. Judging by the video posted up after the cut, James Houston can now consider himself one of the elite.

Somehow, this cat managed to tackle the nearly impossible task of remixing Radiohead's Nude without defacing it entirely (read: merging bits and pieces of the tune into a 4/4 arrangement and calling it a day). Instead, he utilized a host of aging hardware (Sinclar ZX Spectrum, Epson LX-81 dot matrix printer, HP Scanjet 3c, etc.) to create a rendition that even Yorke could admire.

For fans of In Rainbows and mesmerizing music videos alike, there's a must-see waiting just below.
