The Floppotron is a musical instrument created by Polish engineer Paweł Zadrożniak.
It is made of a synchronized array of obsolete computer hardware programmed to play tunes. The current Floppotron 2.0 build sports 64 floppy drives, 8 hard drives, and a pair of flatbed scanners. The net effect is of a robot orchestra.

"Gloomy Sunday," also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song", is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933. The original lyrics were titled Vége a világnak (The world is ending) and were about despair caused by war, and ending in a quiet prayer about the people's sins.

"Gloomy Sunday," also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song", is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933. The original lyrics were titled Vége a világnak (The world is ending) and were about despair caused by war, and ending in a quiet prayer about the people's sins.
Stories about people committed suicide after listening to this song is said to be an urban legend. But, the story behind this song is really sad. During WW2 the Nazis forced the composer, and his mother into a concentration camp. Rezső survived it but his mother died in it. After that he worked in Hungary at some theaters and restaurants but lived. Later he was having trouble writing more songs and his fame began to decline, so he fell into depression. Seress complained that the success of "Gloomy Sunday" increased his unhappiness, because he knew he would never be able to write a second hit. He commited suicide in 1968 by jumping out of a window, survived that but later strangeled himself in the hospital.

How is life for a 10 year old talented pianist cum composer.
Given just the first two middle notes, the audience instinctively and almost unanimously figured out the others and expanded the scale along the pentatonic line. Amazing!
