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.
