FOR THOSE WHO ROSE: a Plan 9 salute to every human who ever rode a controlled explosion past the edge of the sky

A 3-minute Plan 9 salute to every human who ever rode a rocket. No names — only missions, technology, and the families who waited. Composed in D minor at 124 BPM in the structural spirit of deadmau5 Strobe, with Holst Mars gravity, Elgar Nimrod crescendo, and Barber Adagio tonality. ChipForge from scratch — string ensemble, brass, crystalline lead, tom build → 808 drop. Narrator_deep speaks the programs (Sputnik, Vostok, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Salyut, Soyuz, Voyager, Shuttle, Mir, Hubble, ISS, Mars Rovers, JWST, Artemis) and the families who waited. CC BY 4.0.

BUNNY MANDALA: a six-voice canon of Aum mani padme hum sits over Satie and Pachelbel, while Plan 9 raps a Sanskrit space poem

BUNNY MANDALA: a six-voice canon of Aum mani padme hum sits over Satie and Pachelbel, while Plan 9 raps a Sanskrit space poem

A 3:29 Plan 9 meditation. Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 and Pachelbel's Canon in D fused into peaceful trance, while a six-voice canon chants the sacred Tibetan mantra Aum mani padme hum, entering one by one like Row Row Row Your Boat until all six lock in unison. Plan 9 raps an original Sanskrit space poem over the top. Geometric lotus mandala in eight chakra palettes, lattice of tiny bunnies orbiting the center, the Plan 9 bunny holding the breakdown with eye contact and a periodic blink. Five-limit just intonation in D so every pure 3:2 fifth and 5:4 third locks against the drone. Nine ChipForge channels, six ElevenLabs voices plus OpenAI Coral, all autotuned to a D-major mantra melody, cathedral-reverb mixed. CC BY 4.0.

CANTUS RAVE: an 800-year-old canon walks into a rave

A 3:48 napkin films demoscene cracktro. Pärt's mensuration canon as the rhythmic skeleton, Beethoven's Für Elise as the lead, recast at 140 BPM as festival DnB. Eight sections, sample-accurate sync between every kick / snare / bell / lead / chromatic / brass-fanfare event in the score and the visuals on screen. Plasma, copper bars, vector tunnel, kaleidoscope, mode-7 grid floor, mandala explosion. Key change up a perfect fourth at the climax with a 360° camera rotation. Plan 9 bunny crew dances through. Eight production passes.
