THE GRAND TOUR: a two-voice film where the picture is the physics

A two-voice music film where the picture is the physics. A small AI crew raps the lecture, Pythagoras and the pure ratios and the golden mean, and then the maker's own voice takes the bloom. The visuals are the math, rendered as light, every pulse read straight from the track.

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.

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.
