Before my grandfather became so ridiculously obsessed with making his movies, he had a major jones for computer programming. He learned it so as to get a little job security at the art school where he teaches, what with artists being a dime a dozen and all.  

Using object oriented languages, he figured out how to write his own custom classes and then implement animation objects that he invented. He used a lot of math, especially trigonometry to make these things move around in cool ways.

He also made a program that  would randomly get sections of music tracks and overlap them. We are listening to a bit of random Thelonius Monk in this movie.

So why don't you sit back, and enjoy a little neurotic creativity!
