Electronic musician Denkitribe (with the help of DS-10 master Keishi Yonao) managed to figure out a way to adjust the analog sound waveforms to sound like the words in Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

There’s always something amazing about the lengths people will go to in order to squeeze the most out of their gadgetry, and it makes even the simplest music ten times better. If you can manage to use every dang gadget in the house, like this guy seems to have done, then it’s almost magical.
