I graduated from the Glasgow School of Art's graphic design course. This was my final project.
Radiohead held an online contest to remix "Nude" from their album - "In Rainbows" This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's pretty difficult to seamlessly mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.
This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from "Nude" thrown in so that they qualified for the contest.
Thom Yorke joked at the ridiculousness of it in an interview for NPR radio, hinting that they set the competition to find out how people would approach such a challenging task.
I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.
Based on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.
It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to.
I missed the contest deadline, so I'm offering it here for you to enjoy.

Jam Jar demo + jam! from The Amazing Rolo on Vimeo. You might remember the jar from this Light and Sound Devices post. "The Jam Jar is a small light-responsive digital synthesizer made out of a couple of dollars worth of parts and housed in a jam jar. In this video I show it off and make some music with it using Ableton Live and a guitar.

Chicken Box Synth Demo from The Amazing Rolo on Vimeo. "Playing around with a new synth I've just made as part of the research for my "Don't Talk Back" project. The three knobs do things to change the sound in ways I don't really understand. The button generates the sound. The jar contains a homemade 1W amplifier."
