'The Sound of Silence' and other hits played on an array of floppy disk drives

Music is sometimes an unusual art where anything that makes a noise can become 'music' - but this next musical act is definitely unique. Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence' and other hits performed by an array of floppy disk drives.

If you're a fan of YouTube - one thing is very clear, some people have way too much time on their hands.

YouTube user Arganalth is just one of those people and like many others he's a bit of a musician.

Arganalth has covered everyone from Daft Punk to Simon and Garfunkel plus he's also performed the usual array of movie themes.

But unlike many other musicians - Arganalth's instrument of choice is an array of floppy disk drives and old hard drives which he has programmed to play music. The drives are programmed using a small Raspberry Pi computer and fit together in a portable suitcase powered by batteries.

It's unconventional. It's unusual. But it's actually pretty damn cool and I could spend a lot of time listening to the sweet tunes created by these floppy drives.

So without further ado it's time to check out out some of Arganalth's best covers:

"The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel

"Get Lucky" by Daft Punk

"Back to the future" theme song

"Friend like me" from Aladdin
