Floppy music & MIDI madness
Floppy music & MIDI madness
Music with hardware that was not meant to make music. Usually done with modified floppy drives, hard disks or other devices containing motors modulated for different sounds. Non floppy drive music involving the same concept is welcome too

Often done with floppy drives, hard disks and similar devices by modulating their motors and mechanical parts to produce certain notes.
You can also post and discuss other projects involving the same concept (modulating motors and mechanical components to make music).
Historically people have been creating programs to step floppy drives in specific speeds to make sounds for over 40 years so i would consider this the most influential way to demonstrate this concept.
Nowadays we have more capable hardware making this even simpler and more powerful and it can be a fun weekend project as well.
