- First I'm amazed to see how many
different objects people
use to make music.
Not long ago I met some guys in Boston
who have full orchestra
using vintage typewriters.
Today I'm obsessed with this video
here are two guys from Los Angeles
who arranged the Harry Potter theme song
using just a washer and
dryer check this out.
(high pitched beeping of
Harry Potter theme song)
(dryer door opening
and closing in harmony)
(playing dryer like
drums with other sounds)
(door slamming)
All right we have friends Jason and Kurt
on the line right now what's up gentleman?
- Hello how's it going?
- I'm just living my best life I love
the well of Harry Potter I do to.
- Yes
- How did you come up with this?
- Oh man you know we've
been playing music together
for so long probably for
about what seven years?
- Yes seven years or so.
- And like during lockdown
we've been just making
music with all sorts of things.
It started with we have
this door lock outside
where you push buttons and
each button like kind of
makes a different pitch
and the coffin dance.
That song for that meme we programed
so that to unlock the
door you have to play
coffin dance on the door lock.
Anyway we definitely haven't
been going crazy at all.
- It's like your Goonies version of
the truffle shuffle what is chunk thing
to get into the house you had to do that.
- The truffle shuffle yeah.
- Throwback.
- Exactly yeah yeah yeah.
- Awesome I love that so how
did you pull this song off?
- Oh man it's just we've been,
first of all we go around
the house just tapping random appliances
the microwave, the blender and then
we came upon the Washer and Dryer.
And it had a really nice sound to it
and then like to use the
dryer opening and shutting
it as percussion combine
them and created this song.
- Once you like figure
out sort of what button
you know is what note it's kind of
like playing a weird piano maybe.
- Oh my god, it's so cool
what a way to spend your time.
You know I mean it's so cool and
all we have is time right now.
So wait, I hear your post attracted
a pretty unexpected fan right?
- Yes we're supper excited
to see JK Rowling noticed
and she tweeted the
video a couple of times.
- That was insane
- That's so cool, oh my
gosh I can only imagine
those books I mean even
before the movie came out
I had already read
everything that was released
before that first movie I love the books.
I think they are so creative what a cool
shout out from the writer that's so cool.
- Of course.
- I know totally unexpected.
- She created that world where
that music finally took place
and so that was special for
us to see she recognized it.
- Yes such an amazing
moment for pop culture
the whole Harry Potter franchise.
So guys thank you so much Kurt
and Jason I love Harry Potter
so obviously I love what you're doing.
- Thank you so much.
- So glad that you liked it, thank you.
