Every tick is a beat

A driver has left his turn signal on, on a long empty road at night. Pi turns every tick into a beat and plays a tune on top of it. A bulb burns out and the ticking doubles, so Pi plays twice as fast. The driver finally sees the arrow and clicks the stalk off. Pi doesn't notice, jumps for his highest note, and the arrow lights up anyway. Now it was following Pi.

Music: Grieg, In the Hall of the Mountain King (1875, public domain), own arrangement.
