Don’t Get Any Big Ideas
This is either absolutely brilliant, or absolutely insane. Either way it’s great. It’s a video and remix of Radiohead’s Nude featuring some nice shots of vintage machines and seemingly composed mostly of sounds from those machines. Update: here’s a Vimeo link to the video.
Update #2: Radiohead posted about the video on their blog today. Congrats James! (thanks joe for the link)

Wow! I made this!!! I visit ISO-50 daily, and it’s really surreal seeing it on here!! I feel kinda nervous, and excited at the same time.
Also, it’s composed entirely by sounds of those machines, although the Hard Drives are just speakers – so I guess that might be cheating a bit.

Don’t really know why but this video made me cry a bit
Really surreal, nostalgic and poetic at the same time…

Insanely brilliant, I’d say. It’s got shit-loads of rhythm!
Awesome Friday viewing

This is by far the best thing I have seen this year. Completely blown away by it.

Insanely brilliant by a long shot and really inspiring to see someone to put the time and effort into something as technical and imaginative.
10/10

James, do you have a .mp3 of that kicking around? I’d very much like to get hold of one.
June 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
yeah, I am definitely voting for brilliant….. Insanely brilliant sounds about right Jakub. The more I watch this the better it gets, I am somehow getting a Tim & Eric vibe from parts of this, I love the still frames of the product labels and the “Hard Drive Speakers” tape tag.

A boa idéia será um tema bastante recorrente neste blog. Hoje exibo o trabalho de alguém que desde cedo se preocupa com isto.
James Houston é um cara que soube aproveitar seu tempo na faculdade, tomando a oportunidade para fazer trabalhar muito leg…
