Sommarfågel

A cover of the song Sommarfågel by Wintergatan, performed on a selection of my homemade 8-bit and 16-bit instruments.

Instruments in order of appearance

• The Paulimba (running on an Amiga 600) named after Paula, the Amiga sound chip, and the kalimba that I sampled.
• The C=TAR, a modified Commodore 64 played as a bass guitar (with sunglasses) and later as a lead instrument (without).
• A custom drumkit program running on an Amiga 500, based on the same code as the Paulimba but loaded with drum samples.
• The Chipophone, an electric organ that I rebuilt into an 8-bit instrument back in 2010.
• Padme (Amiga 500), software for playing chord pads based on Shepard tones.
• A Commodore 64 BASIC program that plays a noise waveform gradually rising in pitch.
• Qwertuoso, my software for playing music live on a Commodore 64 keyboard.
• The Tenor Commodordion with bellows made out of floppy disks.
• A 5.25" floppy disk smacked against my hand.

Here's the original Wintergatan song on YouTube.
