Lots of great links and videos here! I can't believe no-one has posted the genius Vladijenk II (The corroded mainframe at Tartarus) yet:

The video has been entirely hand-made on a C64 with the graphics characters from the built-in charset aka PETSCII. No other software than a blank C64 screen was involved. Made by the very talented Raquel Meyers.

This is the perfect marriage of music and animation. I absolutely love it.

Here's a video of her creating an animation, the technique is called KYBDslöjd or Live Type In, I think all the key-presses get recorded, then the sequence replayed in time with the music.

The software was developed at demo parties in the Swedish demo scene.

So I ~lied~ erred when I said that there was no software other than a naked C64 involved - thank you for the heads up! I saw a talk by Raquel Meyers at a tech/art conference a few years ago, where she explained a few of her works, including this particular video. I guess I just forgot about the software because I was so impressed by the stuff she made :)
