Portable Hard Drive Symphony Plays the Back to the Future Theme

I’m really glad no one has tried to remake Back to the Future with new technology yet, but I’ll definitely take the music of Back to the Future remade on not-so-new technology. Running on substantially less than 1.21 gigawatts with just a raspberry pi computer and a few batteries, YouTuber Arganalth has created a portable disk drive symphony.

Although, I’m not sure exactly how portable it is. Sounds pretty heavy, Doc. (OK, I’m done now.)
