Not a holiday piece, but could be, Linus Åkesson's version of Ravel's Boléro for mostly Commodore 64-derived instruments, with a floppy drive, NES, and Amiga thrown in. As always, an explosive combination of technical and musical skill, and understatedness. #c64 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMGb...

Awesome, congratulations! 🥳

I didn't start it yet. It's seen through the lens of ludomusicology, a field of study in academia. I've read some books and essays from ludomusicology and it's actually quite interesting. I'm finishing Pixel Soundtracks (www.amazon.ca/Pixel-Soundt...), and that's a blast! I highly recommend it.
