Here is a late musical seasonal greeting to Linux Audio.
(I wrote and recorded this track already on Christmas Day and intended
to improve the mix before publishing, but since I have to work this week
and it would probably not get finished until next year, I decided to put
it out as is.)
**The theme to a soppy Christmas television mini-series from the
eighties that never was**

Synopsis: A young woman from western Europe spends a year in communist
era Bohemia (then Czechoslovakia), where she has family ties, as a farm
hand. She lives on the premises of a small castle, which belongs to an
impoverished family of aristocratic roots. When she meets the young son
of the family, their initial mutual attraction is cut short by
misunderstandings caused by prejudice and differences in upbringing.
Over time though, he wins her heart by showing her the beauty of the
Bohemian country side and the joys of a simple rural life while she
enchants him with her classical flute playing and brings him to overcome
his introvert nature by introducing him to Italo disco dancing.

Composed and produced by Christopher Arndt on Christmas Day 2021.
Recorded in Ardour 6 DAW on Linux with a Yamaha Reface DX FM synthesizer
into a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 audio interface.
No samples, no filters, just one synth.
