Merry Electronic Christmas

I know, I know – this isn’t a video game. Hell, it’s not even chip music. But still, I wanted to share. Check out Warner Jepson‘s hauntingly beautiful “Buchla Christmas,” a 28-minute composition that feels like Christmas as experienced through the subconscious of a daydreaming child.  It was made, like its title suggests, on the Buchla 100 Analog Modular Synthesizer and was recorded to an Ampex PR-10 tape recorder in 1969, which somehow makes it even better, right? It’s a name-your-price deal, like the Humble Indie Bundle #2 (hey, there’s the tie-in…), and you’ll be supporting SHINKOYO, a pretty radical avant-guard electronic label.
