James’ Houston’s crack at Radiohead’s Nude Remix contest.
As he put it, “Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that’s played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing.” So he decided to go a different route, drawing inspiration from the lyrics and alternate title, Big Ideas: Don’t Get Any. From that he recreated the song using a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, an Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer, a HP Scanjet 3c, and a Hard Drive array.
The song is some crazy shit, and the video is pretty cool also (especially after the first minute or so). 163,000 views on Vimeo and counting.
