"This is Christmas" - on ELKA X-1000
YouTube via organfairy
"After last christmas a threw out my trusty old plastic christmas tree as it was getting rather dilapidated. But somehow I wanted something different this year. I decided to make a Jean-Michel Jarre inspired window decoration!
I bought some wood and cut out a set of keys to form a circular keyboard. Then I painted them and installed a handfull of red LEDs. A sequencing circuit from my "box of opportunities" was used as a driver. And now I have a red glowing semi-circular wooden keyboard christmas decoration in my kitchen window.
The music is played on the Elka X-1000 organ and a set of sleigh bells. The melody is called "This is Christmas" and was originally play by the Danish duo "Laid Back" in the late 80's."
