Of all the music genres to cover using the physical sounds made from of his old computer floppy drives, the futuristic sound of Daft Punk seems most appropriate. And that’s exactly who MrSolidSnake745 covered in his latest video.
Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic may actually sound better with the choppy sound of 90′s technology than its original digital rendering.
Making music with multiple floppy drives is nothing new. What else is the now archaic technology good for anyways?
But jamoore60 took things to the next level with his floppy drive ‘symphony’ playing the classic James Bond 007 theme song.
Floppy drive musician MrSolidSnake745 has an entire series of pop songs played using old 90′s computer technology that are all fairly popular. But his cover of the 90′s cult classic What Is Love which is three weeks old just erupted online after being featured on FailBlog. The song took 8 floppy drives to create, and now stands with over 675,000 views.
These days most kids don’t even know what a floppy disk is. You know, the little icon on almost every save button in the world of computers. With so many obsolete floppy disk drives, real uber-nerds have the luxury of having some fun for cheap. MrSolidSnake745, a floppy drive musician, took eight extra floppy drives, and with a little computer know-how, played a beautiful cover of the Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song.

Thanks Nick!
Some of you may remember the floppy drives that played Phantom of the Opera a while back. This floppy drive music isn’t as complex, but it’s a nerd classic. Enjoy the Imperial March from Star Wars entirely created from the mechanical sounds of two floppy drives.
