Game Boy Music Video

Once again the guys over at Botchweed pointed me to a pretty cool video. This guy used percussive sounds (and just a little electric buzz) from his original Game Boy to make a music video in the same spirit as those guys from Stomp that do it live with trash can lids and paper bags etc. Check it out.

  2. yeah I just noticed that last night and then once I noticed it on the video my ears picked it out on the tune. Before I specifically listened for it it just blended in with the rest of the rhythm. Pretty good stuff.

  3. I thought it was pretty nifty too. Feeling inspired to make some music with your Lynx?

  4. Uhm I did give it a try you know, but it seems it's no harmonica. Damn!

  5. I'd comment about this guy having too much time on his hands, but then I would just have to admit I was jealous that I didn't have that kind of time and creative talent.

  6. Time is the critical factor. Wish I had more of it myself. I don't think I would be one of those immortals who was searching for a way to die because living had become tiresome - I'm pretty sure I could find a whole bunch of ways to entertain myself. Well, at least for a few thousand years. After that who knows.

    Did you know I was born in the highlands of Scotland?

  9. Oh, and I did get a harmonica a while back and recently bought an instructional DVD and book. I'll be giving it a shot this weekend!

    Okay, sorry for hijacking the thread....back to games.

  10. OK this just settled my next semi-randomly selected game - the Blues Brothers.

    Since this is a Game Boy (ish) thread I should probably play the GB version but I think I'll roll with the emulated Amiga version instead.
