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.

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.

LFG ORBIT: a doberman MC and a bunny philosopher drive a Tesla to Mars

A 102 second napkinfilms music video. OG Bobby Johnson the doberman raps the engineering. Plan 9 the bunny raps the cosmos. A Tesla rolls onto a personal fiber platform, climbs out of the atmosphere, docks with an interplanetary shuttle, streaks past Saturn and Jupiter, and lands on Mars. Six iteration passes from a 90 second French house single to a 102 second bookended film with a Carl Sagan tribute outro and a soft Tagalog goodbye.
