In the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again, an insane Inspector Dreyfus escapes and terrorizes the world before accidentally disintegrating himself with his own death ray. As he slowly disappears, he plays the organ. This is my idea of music appropriate to such a condition; it is in the Octoid[72] scale of [[Ragismic_microtemperaments|octoid temperament]], 72 notes out of [[224edo|224edo]]. To quote from the film, "What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that's been committed here?" | In the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again, an insane Inspector Dreyfus escapes and terrorizes the world before accidentally disintegrating himself with his own death ray.

Pianodactyl is rhythmically complex, with lots of irregular starts and stops, and the name of the piece refers to Rodan. Strangely enough, however, it has nothing whatever to do with math rock. | Pianodactyl is rhythmically complex, with lots of irregular starts and stops, and the name of the piece refers to Rodan.
