  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.

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

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.

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.

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].

Ha! I almost posted this here but I thought maybe I was posting too many music videos on HN.

As part of the LOAD "*", 8, 1 generation, this is really freaking cool.

One of the funniest things in the video is the variety of neck tie configurations, one for each part.
