Daft Punk - Aerodynamic on eight floppy drives

Support me on Patreon! - / mrsolidsnake745
I tried adding in a simple effect in this one around 2:33 so check it out. Another of my favorite Daft Punk songs. Enjoy!
New set of videos that I've entirely devoted to Daft Punk! I did the songs that I think sounded best on floppy drives so that leaves out some of the songs I really wanted to do. This is the third of four videos. You can still access the last one early by visiting my FB page or spot on Abyssal Forums. Both links below.

I'd love to see an orchestra made up entirely of office equipment, floppy drives, printers, fax machines, all being played directly by musicians with electronic instruments, with a conductor... That would be epic, maybe one day...

Thanks you! MrDrezil!

[@horseradish843]

That would be real art

[@lvl10cooking]

Call it weird, but I love the crunchy over-drive sound that floppies make.

[@rupturefarmz2678]

That would only have been weird if it didn't sound so damn great. I wonder who will be the first to use floppy drives on stage?

[@TheRealSiman]

lvl10cooking I love the sound of them so much. It gives it sorta a grimy industrial-techno sorta vibe if you feel me and it works so damn well.

[@dannydevito9514]

Father: I remember floppy disks very fondly Son: I know them already! They're used to awesomely recreate music!

This comment proves that kids these days will never know what floppy drives are for.

[@zanytobbs]

Morgan Luther bin Hitler yep kind of what I intended

[@lei9483]

MisterPringle My PC still has a floppy drive. 2 years ago, my son asked me why the PC has 2 "Disk Slot thing" and why the CD can't fit to the floppy drive. I told him the riveting history of floppy drives.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

This one, thankfully, doesn't go on Too Long (I fear the floppy drives may end up crashin' and Burnin' otherwise). It's a shame there are no Teachers for this art, you sorta Get Lucky on stumbling upon musical programming knowledge like this. Oh Yeah, of course I would like to know how to replicate Da Funk of these floppy drives, but even if I was taught programming like this by teachers from Around The World, I probably still wouldn't be able to create a Robot Rock such as this. And this can only Touch the surface of what we can do if we put our minds to it. We may find more instances of us Doin' It Right and well within the Fragments Of Time

[@armorhide406]

yeah I think this is more fitting, funnily enough

[@martintroy910]

Im not sure if it's better but it's definitely just as good. I wonder if Daft Punk have seen this. I think they'd be pleasantly surprised and a little pissed off that they went to all the trouble of learning to play instruments when they could have been playing floppies lol.

[@armorhide406]

Martin Troy well they made the original song, which was then converted into a MIDI, so they still had to compose if they went into floppies. I'd love to see them use floppy drives in their future work though

[@katsunekyoki]

[@eriksimca9409]

daft punks secret has been revealed, he uses floppy disks with autotune

[@atn_holdings]

I love when the youtube algo is trying out some Old KZbin content. like this is the content that would kill back then before several deep redesigns

[@AnthanKrufix]

I adore the original too but it's really strange but I think this is actually an improvement. The buzz of the floppy drives creates the most spinechilling baseline.

[@RealDealHolyfield2099]

This is the absolute best song to showcase this musical technique. Very very cool!

[@TimmyWims]

this is honestly the best video on the internet its soo good i listen multiple times a day

[@PatrickvonMassow]

This kind of music suits the floppy sound very well. I love those low bass notes in particular. How do you get them so boomy? Is using the table as a resonating body part of the recipe? And how do you cover it so well with the microphone? I would have expected it to sound very thin in a recording.

[@m.c.greene6807]

My bet is on a mic inside the table/box.

[@ClanOKeefe]

You never cease to amaze me. Excellent work!

[@TheParadoxG]

I have come to the conclusion that floppy drives are cheap cellos that require no instrumental skill to play, but require a large amount of programming knowledge to enjoy thoroughly.

[@CaptainPrincess]

The lower ones really do have this bassy vibration going on that I WISH I had to skill to replicate in a snythesizer. It's a really pleasant sound to me to hear a low-note floppy drive churn out that grumble. I reckon if I could hear it, isolated without any accoustics and a strong bass pumping straight into my head, I'd eargasm so fast.

[@iunmartell2178]

Captain Princess I have a synth that sounds super similar

[@CaptainPrincess]

Iun Martell gibe

[@thelamesh]

Impressive, Snake.

[@SamythTheDragon]

Wow well done! The little addition of that effect at around 2:33 turned out really nicely, it really added to the rest of the song. Good work again :)

[@Discostew2]

the filter effect sounded great, keep them coming! your doing great!!

[@simca7456]

whoever invented the floppy disks, i bet the person wouldnt believe that they would become musicinstruments in the future

[@razzamatazzama124]

Can someone please explain to me how this works? I am absolutely baffled how those things can make different pitched sounds and turn into a song.

[@MiguelAbd]

The faster it moves, the higher the pitch. But I can't tell about HOW to do it, that's his magic hahaha

[@TCWordz]

Alec Goldstein Floppy drives used a stepper motor to move the read head (that thing that goes back and forth). And it makes noise. If this is pulsed rapidly (hundreds of times per second), musical notes are made depending on the frequency of the pulses (more = higher pitch). This is possible because floppy drives don't have a controller, everything is handled by the computer they're connected to. For these videos, the drives are connected to an Arduino, which is basically a tiny little computer on a single circuit board, plus some extra cool things. There is a piece of software running on it to control the drives. To make the music, MrSolidSnake makes a MIDI file for each drive (kind of like digital sheet music). The Arduino then does fancy things to change that information into pulses to control the drives.

[@amyshaw893]

TCVidz pretty much, but I'd also like to chip in that heloads the midi on his computer and uses a free java program to send it to the arduino. can remember the name of it right now though

[@Nick3889]

The only use for Floppy disc drives & discs any more. Damn good Snake Very awesome. The sound fits Daft Punk pretty well to.

[@ChaosPootato]

[@xxxjake999xxx]

How are just 2 playing the riff from 1:14 onwards?

[@jwweatherford]

Each floppy drive can play one note at a time, but there's no limit on how fast it can change pitch -- the faster the head moves, the higher the pitch it makes. That riff only has two notes playing at a time, so two drives.

[@iAlphafox12]

Can you do catgroove?
