Polish engineer Pawel Zadrozniak has created a "PC hardware orchestra" that plays tunes through floppy disks and other computer hardware parts.
The Floppotron 3.0 is a PC-generated musical orchestra comprised of 512
floppy disk drives, 16 hard drives and four flatbed scanners. Zadrozniak, the mastermind behind it all, has been working on several versions of the project since 2011.
Zadrozniak's first Floppotron model featured a pair of floppy disk drives playing "The Imperial March" from Star Wars. Then in 2016, he expanded to
64 floppy disk drives, eight hard drives and two flatbed scanners.
Fast forward to 2022, and Zadrozniak now has a full orchestra of computer hardware playing tunes from Michael Jackson, Queen and several other famous artists.
A key aspect of the system is the noise made by the electric motors, followed by the frequency it generates that in turn produces different notes.
