(MUSICAL SPOILER ALERT!) The Turret Opera from the end of Portal 2.

As suggested by @DerAssAssinenMetzger.

Based on an arrangement by the talented Sebastian Wolff. Check out his website ( http://sebastianwolff.info/ ) or his YouTube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/germanseabass ) for all sorts of cool video game and movie covers!

The software this creation is based off of is open source and available here: https://github.com/SammyIAm/Moppy

Tutorial video here:

I'd love idea for new songs to perform (or even original pieces if any of you are composing-inclined); if you have any leave 'em in the comments or message me. A word of forewarning though, not everything works well on floppy drives (they're pretty finicky as far as musical instruments go), so while I will consider every one of your suggestions, not all of them end up making good music.

  • Hmm, I think the floppies would handle part of Want You Gone pretty well.

  • @blenderpanzi Check my channel and see if you're right. =)

  • Is it easy to do this?

  • @TheCJiK Yes-ish. =P I've got a tutorial video (link in the doobly-doo), and there's no complicated skills required to get things going. That doesn't mean you won't run into a snag here or there, but at least half a dozen people have got it working without too much trouble.

  • you need a 5,25" or a 8" discdrive for the bas part :)

  • @mikgus I did a quick search, and 8" drives cost like $400 now! I suppose no one really makes them any more, so they've become very rare. (I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a 5.25" though)

see all

  • Shoulda called it 'O Cara Mia, Arduino'

  • you should do the laser vs turret song

  • ...wait...WHAT? what am i watching? oAo this is amazing!

  • SCIENCE

  • this is what the defective turrets would have sounded like... but its still beautiful

  • If my computer starting making this sounds, I wouldn't even be mad when it would start to smoke.

  • I always wondered what happened to floppy drives when they became obsolete once flash drives replaced them. nice to see that they're doing ok.
