Anyone who uses a scanner, old hard drives, a dot-matrix printer and other long-lost pieces of hardware, to remix a song, who then films the performance is my unofficial hero:
James Houston, a graphic design student from the Glasgow School of Art, completed this as his final project. The song being performed is Nude by Radiohead, off their most recent album “In Rainbows” as a tribute to the remix contest the band held earlier this year. It sounds a bit quirky at first and, to be honest, a bit weird, but it becomes somewhat endearing and then full appreciation ensues.
If he didn’t get an A+, he was robbed.
I embedded a youtube link, as the original wasn’t quite embedding as it should, so check out his Vimeo profile here:
Big Ideas (don’t get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.
I’ll let him explain the context and why he did it.
