He has come a long way since Craft. What a total rock star. In that time I have done nothing as awesome with my life (other than enjoying his productions). Heres to 17 more years of awesomeness!
That's such a good idea with this old equipment. And you can see that the guy tried hard not to laugh. And surprisingly, the arrangement sounds great. Hilarious.
According to a possibly apocryphal story from the premiere performance, a woman was heard shouting that Ravel was mad. When told about this, Ravel is said to have remarked that she had understood the piece.
For anyone wanting to know, the keyboard layout is that of a chromatic button accordian [0] [1].
I guess there's a C64 "executable" that he's made available but no source so I don't know what the exact keymapping is. I did find a few different resources that show the layout in action [2] [3].
This guy's other video where he covers Clowncore's 'Computers' on computers is one of the most impressive, incredibly niche things I've ever seen on YouTube. He's a serious talent.

Several mentions of "the automaton" but no idea what that is. It's a bit vague.
The photo of "the automaton" appears to be a melamine white particleboard panel.

Linus never fails to impress. A true virtuoso

This is way more pleasant than the kazoo version by famous children's author Sandra Boynton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U14IBek-wNU
Ha! I almost posted this here but I thought maybe I was posting too many music videos on HN.
I am part of the LOAD "*", 8, 1 generation, and this is really freaking cool.
One of the funniest things in the video is the variety of neck tie configurations, one for each part.
That Commodore C64 accordion made me laugh.
Ah it's called The Commodordion https://linusakesson.net/commodordion/index.php
It's kind of incredible!

It’s probably not a coincidence that the climax starts at 13:37.

That's the most important number in stores like this one.
Listened to this exact video this morning when it was among the newest videos in my YouTube subscriptions. I've had it stuck in my head since then.
If I recall correctly, Boléro (the music piece) has a special meaning in the very early Swedish hacker scene, often used as a sort-of in-joke.
Beautifully done! What more can I say?
Those disc drive sounds are so cool
I am so happy that people make things like this <3
I love projects like this. finally someone found a new use for those dot matrix printers.
:´)
