I was curious what “störd” on the side of the piano means; apparently it’s “disturbed”.

Lovely fishy things!

I love that the music was represented on his sheet music with a very unusual system. Made me think for the first time if there are different ways to represent music via sheet music - different systems. There must be, from a historical aspect before everyone adopted the Western method. If not, at least from an experimental aspect where someone tried to do it a different way for their Thesis or Dissertation or something. And if not that - then someone should.

I thought the tone of Tales was very close to Stalenhag’s art.

Graphic notation (music)

I’ve particularly always like looking at Anthony Braxton’s scores: https://tricentricfoundation.org/scores

I’d also argue that the DAW piano roll is becoming the most dominant form of musical notation, displacing western sheet music.

Looked like a combination of Devonian armored and lobe-finned fish, with the biggun possibly a Dunkleosteus.

Although they snuck in a slightly later amphibian at 2:10. Maybe a Pederpes or Eryops…

“Störd” literally means “disturbed,” yes, but as a slang word in 70’s Sweden its meaning was more base and crude.

“E du störd, eller?” loosely translates as “Are you retarded?”

There is so much going on with this music video that I really dig, heheh! I love anachronistic science fiction design, and this really takes it to the extreme, considering the intelligent musical AI playing for ancient aquatic biological lifeforms. With street art. Yes!
