Key quotes
· 5 pulledI perform Maurice Ravel's Boléro on a variety of homemade 8-bit instruments.
This project took me a bit over half a year to finish.
It was fun to put my tools and methods to the test with this huge undertaking.
When I started out I had no idea if my mixing and video-editing process would work at this scale, but it turned out to only need a few tweaks here and there.
I hope you'll enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it!
