Atari 8-bit - Ballsong Nr. 2 by Douglas Crockford & Valerie Atkinson

This was an early graphics/music Demo for Atari 8-bit. It's an experiment in algorithmic music where it had several random parts that it could put together in various ways. This meant that while you'd hear the same phrases, they'd be put together and harmonized differently each time you ran it. This is the second of the two demos.

"Never twice the same, Never once very different!"

Douglas Crockford was noteworthy for going on to work for Lucasfilm (later Lucasarts) and working on some other famous games like Rescue on Fractalus, Koronis Rift, and The Eidolon.
