This is a SID tune that I composed for the "Crack Intro Music Competition 2017" at CSDb. The rules called for a looping tune, no longer than 1 minute. I decided to write a fugue. Red notes indicate the subject of the fugue, namely the first few bass notes from David Hanlon's soundtrack for the game "Enlightenment: Druid II". This song is also known colloquially as "Fairlight", since Fairlight used it in many of their C64 crack intros. Blue notes indicate another bit of melody taken from the same song.

Visualised using Lilypond and a bit of scripting magic. Best viewed in full-screen mode at 1080p.
