Nude

Remember a while back when Radiohead hosted a remix contest for Nude? Yes? Yes. We can easily recall the overwhelming number of submissions they received. While some submissions completely ignored the original time signature and aimed to bring Radiohead to dancefloors, others...well, really took into consideration who Radiohead fans really are. Some understood that a Radiohead song cannot just be simply put into a generic formula because in the end Radiohead fans really just yearn for something completely fucking different. 

Here is where James Houston comes in. For his final graphic design project (at Glasgow School of Art) took a bunch of computer gear to recreate Nude in it's own truly unique way.

The list of gear is as follows:

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (Rhythm & Lead)

Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums

HP Scanjet 3c - Bass Guitar

Hard Drive array - Vocals & FX

Also for any of you who is strongly inspired by this effort, Radiohead has started a new remix contest for one of my favorite In Rainbows songs, Reckoner. Go out and create something different.

I know most, if not all, of you already have this already but for comparison's sake here is the original.
