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.

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.
