THE KEYS TO POWER: a Plan 9 rap-spit duet on why power corrupts — structurally, not morally

A machine-tragedy retelling of selectorate theory as an in-tune EDM rap duet. Plan 9 Bunny takes an empty throne meaning to be good; OG Bobby Johnson — the Doberman, Anubis, the System — raps the three Rules of Power back at him until the cage is complete. D minor, 132 BPM, hero lead from bar one, acid bass and orchestral strings, an autotuned duet locked to the beat, a Stranger-Things-cricket EDM intro, and a Plan 9 goodbye in Czech. CC BY 4.0.

BUNNY STAGE 2: a parallel-octave duet about depending on machines, with a Stranger Things intro and a Klingon Plan 9 goodbye

A 3:21 cinematic EDM short. One bunny on one dawn planet becomes seven planets orbiting a glowing machine hub. The synth lead chants the thesis (we will depend on machines, multi planetary, stage two); Daniel doubles it three octaves below, autotuned to a matching D Dorian contour, and adds his own commentary (don't you wish you were, maybe you already are). Stranger Things crickets fade into the opening; Plan 9 closes the outro in Klingon — Daj. Hov leng wImaq. Qapla', leng. CC BY 4.0.

PLAN 9: EMERGE: seventy-six bunnies wake up enhanced

A 3-minute drum-and-bass cyber-bunny music video. Plan 9 the Bell Labs bunny gets a "neura kink" chip installed in his forehead and ends up in a cyber-cathedral packed with seventy-five other enhanced rabbits dancing on the kick. The chip whispers updates. The host raps a verse. Captions sell you a future you didn't ask for. At the end, one bunny in the front row pulls his chip out and walks off. Built in ChipForge in the spirit of Bicep's "Glue" at 132 BPM in D minor, with seven signature artist presets carrying the hero voices. First Napkin Films production to ship the new master-bus air exciter and oversampled true-peak limiter, both now defaults. Tongue-in-cheek the whole way.
