Chiptune
Here is another great project from Linus Åkesson. This time it is some really cool 80's type "chiptunes" based on another AVR micro-controller.

Having designed and programmed computer music systems from scratch Back In The Day, this is a seriously impressive little project. I tip my hat to Mr. Åkesson.
Jeri Ellsworth, creator of the C64 in a joystick, is speaking at Notacon this year on making demos with FPGAs. I really hope next year's Notacon/Blockparty includes an FPGA category...
