Robert Oh- Looking Outwards- 11

Caption: “Star Wars- Imperial March on Eight Floppy Drives”

For this week’s looking outwards post, I decided to talk about this interesting YouTube video made by user MrSolidSnake745 (whose YouTube channel contains other technology-based music). I really admire this project because the whole set-up is very unique. Using 8 different floppy drives to alternate between tones and pitches to create a universally famous theme is a cool idea!

I have no idea how the creator actually got to create this music, but if I had to guess, the creator probably set up each individual floppy drive to play a certain tone and timed each floppy drive perfectly to play the “Imperial March” theme perfectly. All in all, I thought this was a very cool project!
