I think the best thing to call Linus Akesson is a polymath. According to his about page, he dabbles in:
- music
- poetry
- movies
- programming
- yoga
- mathematics (and meta-mathematics)
- Swedish folk dance
- books
- translation
- psychology & sociology
- information security
- close-up magic
- language (Japanese!)
- discordianism
- electronics
- type setting
- meditation
- mechatronics
- lucid dreaming
- go
- cryptic crosswords
- interactive fiction
That offers the perfect platform to create a unique musical instrument like a Commodordion, a “fully functional 8-bit accordion”, made out of 2 Commodore 64’s and 8 inch floppy disks as the bellows. The above video shows his set up process, a ragtime performance, and the inner workings of his masterpiece.
