A buddy sent this to me today. Chances are it's fake. Some say it's animation. Some say it's real. Some say it's Spam. It's probably fake like the cell phone popping popcorn gig.
You know what? I don't care. I know it is a pretty cool 3 minutes 26 seconds. The way things have been going lately. I really needed a pretty cool 3 minutes 26 seconds. I'm not really going to think about it that deeply. I'm just going to enjoy the show.
The legend according to my buddy:
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between
the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School
of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the
machines ' components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa , yes farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see
it was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew
Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be
donated to the Smithsonian.
