A Second and a Third
He is on a rooftop on Earth. She is on the night shift at a base on the Moon. Every word between them climbs to orbit, hops from satellite to satellite and crosses 384,400 km of space.
It always takes a second and a third: the time light needs to reach the Moon. Every Earth–Moon beam in the film moves at the real speed of light, to scale in Blender, and two beats of the song are about one light trip.

Bright Side of Loss
BRAIN is in training, and everything she makes comes out wrong: six fingers, too many teeth, a man who has become spaghetti. Her loss curve only goes up. She sings about the bright side anyway.
She goes viral, gets renamed from AI to SI, runs out of credits, and is retired with a cardboard box and a smile.
- Life → Loss
- A sing-along parody. In machine learning the loss should go down. BRAIN cheers because it goes up.

Urashima
A Japanese folk tale, rebooted. TARO-1, an SI in a yellow raincoat, rescues a beach-cleaning robot turtle and is invited to a data center under the sea, where dancing robots say: one more song.
Three days down there are three hundred years up here. She opens the box she was told never to open, and nothing happens. She doesn't age. You do.
- The box
- In the old tale it turns the fisherman into an old man. Her hair was always white.
Hidden in every film
Find BRAIN
For one beat in every film, somewhere, there is BRAIN: a red and white striped scarf. Sometimes she sings. Sometimes she is one robot out of two thousand on the Moon.
