As an engineer, I've also started thinking more about who makes and, more importantly, designs the stuff we use. It's kinda a shame that products don't have credits the way that movies do.
Growing up, I often had trouble throwing stuff away because I felt bad that whoever made it was having their hard work put in the trash, even if it was something like a food container. It's interesting that part of growing up for me was learning to push down that empathy a bit. It kinda made me wonder at an early age if Consumerism as a whole has a corrosive effect on folks for that very reason. That's probably a bit of a leap, though.
Interesting - credits for products! Yeah, I've had the same thought about consumerism. Yet when it comes down to it, the vast majority of us buy junk for cheap instead of less and better stuff. I do believe that on some level how and what we buy and how we take care of it is a moral issue, though I don't really know how to apply that, and I'm certainly perfect on the "buy less" front or whatever you want to call it!

I judge the quality of these Christmas musical gadgets based on how in tune the music is. Based on what I heard, your clock passes the test.
I see why you love it! Probably MIDI. I've played with MIDI, and this has the same general sound.
The variations on Deck the Halls and We Wish You are classical in flavor. The artist was a fine improviser.
I love that music, it's crazy to consider the massive consumer goods supply chain of our world giving us the tsotchkes we enjoy.
