Bob Dylan with old printers, scanners and hard drives? [video]

What do you usually do with equipment that becomes hopelessly obsolete? Throw away? Well, maybe the video above will help you reconsider your options. It's a partnership between producer Partizan and the Isthisgood? Team, the result of which is literally a finely tuned orchestra composed solely of junk. The song was a reasonable choice: “The Times They Are A-Changin” by Bob Dylan.

The work originated from an order made by computer equipment manufacturer Brother, and includes dozens of hard disks, printers, scanners, modems, and the like - all reminiscent of the 1990s that had only recycling in the future. The “musicians” are all MIDI controlled - they can even take on live performances.

“The old world of printing is over, ” he told Brother. "This is your 'swan song'." Behind the whole thing, of course, lies the advertising campaign to promote the manufacturer's new line of equipment. Anyway, a nice addition to the current trend of turning random equipment into musical instruments.
