The musical piece most of us recognize as the Ringing Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus theme is actually a classical piece written by Czech composer Julius Fucik, titled [Entrance Of The Gladiators](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0):
*”Entrance of the Gladiators” op. 68 or “Entry of the Gladiators” (Czech: Vjezd gladiátorů) is a military march composed in 1897[1] by the Czech composer Julius Fučík. He originally titled it “Grande Marche Chromatique”, reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire.”*
Wow
Do Bigfoots produce a nice deep sound? I need two more platters from them for my masterpiece.
Holy hell, the sound coming off the wall of floppy drives is incredible!
Play Free Bird!!!
Truly a work of passion
Such a great analog sound.
This is now a MIDI player so he can compose music using off the shelf software, and play other songs lol
I appreciate the FDDs being arranged to look like piano keyboards.
Fucking amazing
This is the computer that will start the machine uprising.
Thank you for your service sir. Your hobby is great.
Here’s a writeup about it: http://silent.org.pl/home/2022/06/13/the-floppotron-3-0/
I love that this project still lives. Time for another [E1M1?](https://youtu.be/GNTtR6ZpUOo)
That was glorious. “Should have sent a poet.”
What people think an electrical engineer does: (design the next iphone, repair conputer hardware)
What an electrical engineer actually does: (Floppotron)

Are the emergency buttons there in case it becomes self-aware?
HE’S BACK!
This is an amazing video, but I bet it’s way better in person.

That’s a hell of an upgrade. Fully MIDI compatible is amazing.
Would kinda like to see if it can do Rush E. The composer offers the MIDI file for it so it would be pretty easy to see if it can play it.

All respect this is amazing my friend. You are a technological music wizard.
Since it played running in the 90 before, probably deja vu next.
I would love to see “Look mum no computer” play with this
Wow! Great work, Paweł!
Not sure what that absurd GUI he’s using is. He should try out [Cinco’s Midi Organiser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puVYtkh-LO4). It’s intuitive, and fun to use.
