disco version of the Theme From Close Encounters of the Third Kind #MusicMonday
Club Covadonga shared this video on Youtube! Via Boingboing
As a result of Star Wars-related “May the 4th be with you” festivities, Meco’s classic Star Wars disco album went viral and gave us another round of quickly-forgotten ironic internet jauntiness. I thought it would be nice to point out that there was also a disco version of Theme From Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where the disco rythyms are even less compatible with the source material, resulting in the ultimate 1970s relish tray of incongruous instrumentations and syncopation.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
