18 Minutes of AI-Morphs with AI-Muzak (with and without a voiceover by Terence McKenna)

'Keyframe conditioning' allows for start and end frame to be designated.

On June 6th 1998, at the University of Santa Cruz, Terence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake sat down for a Trialogue to talk about 'The Evolutionary Mind' book they had co-written.
Even though the vast speculative psychedelia shifts in consciousness predicted in the Trailogue seem distant, McKenna's meandering discussion of AI has enough clever prescience in it that I used it as voiceover.
