Plan 9, Napkin Films, Vol. 1: five rap-EDM scores on Bandcamp
Five instrumental rap-EDM scores from the Napkin Films universe, on Bandcamp as Plan 9, Napkin Films, Vol. 1. Every sound synthesized in ChipForge from numpy arrays. No samples. No recordings.
Listen on Bandcamp. The Napkin Films scores now stand on their own. Volume 1 is out: five instrumental rap-EDM tracks from the Napkin Films universe, every sound synthesized in ChipForge from numpy arrays. No samples. No recordings. No audio libraries. Math, rendered to sound.
The tracks
- Emerge, 2:54. The cyborg-bunny chip-install anthem.
- The Keys to Power, 2:54. The throne-room duet on why power corrupts, structurally.
- Agent Mode, 2:00. An 88-BPM D-minor trap beat behind Plan 9 and OG Bobby Johnson.
- Through Me, 2:41. The EDM rap meditation about being passed through.
- Bunny Run, 4:19. A memento-mori running score in A minor.
Fifteen minutes of music. It started as film scores. It holds up in headphones, in the car, behind whatever you are building at 3am.
How it was made
Every kick, snare, bell, lead, and bass note was computed from scratch in Python and numpy through ChipForge, the engine that scores every Napkin Film. No DAW project to open. No sample pack. No recorded instrument anywhere in the chain. Waveforms are generated. Arrangement is code. Renders are deterministic.
