Is this really only "inspired" by 2001. It feels like a cover. Beautiful & well done but hardly 'genius' in my opinion. I love and respect SL's work but this hardly feels as inventive or meaningful as most of his projects.
SOOO good. I was already loving your music, reminds me of a mix between Braids / Blue Hawaii and Soley. But these videos are so creative and well done. Can't wait to see more.
I was studying some things earlier, I turned this song on in the car (subconsciously I guess) and then I remembered this incredible video & I realized that I get it. So I rewatched and indeed, I believe I get it.
I love piecing together out-of-order plots, to let's have a go We have to clear timeframes: "before the machine-gun attack" and "after the machine-gun attack", which can be easily separated by the fact that the monolith creates an out-of-place snowstorm (even at sea level in San Francisco, as seen at the end). Everything with snow is after this event; everything without snow is before this event. We also have a couple side plots which are never connected - we only ever see two of the five monoliths doing anything, but five arrive, at least one to California, and at least one to Iceland. We also have a "cult of the monolith" - seemingly wealthy businessmen who seem to be speaking to it telepathically. It's unclear whether their plastic-lined room is in the mansion or not, what their motives are, or how the monoliths perceive them. It never displays hostile behavior to them, however. Back to the beginning. At the park, the monolith - "seeing" the crowd around it in LIDAR - spontaneously forces it into a symbolic "dance" (one could envision that a being which sees the world through LIDAR would communicate by physical motion). The main character is the only one who's not frozen in place after this. It's not clear who he is, how he knows the others, or whatnot, but he responds by attacking the monolith - which responds by freezing him in place, summoning a telekinetic snowstorm, and glowing brightly. Later: snowstorm raging around the mansion. We can divide this into two parts as well: before and after main character goes mad. So first the monolith arrives and floats over him while he sleeps. He knows its come for him and expects to die. His girlfriend "comforts" him. He faces up to it - scanned in LIDAR as he approaches. As he reaches out, it telekinetically sucks him up against it, and in its interactions with him, scrambles his brain. He stumbles around the mansion madly. The obelisk randomly levitates furniture and the girlfriend, for unknown purposes and to unknown effects. The monoliths leave in the end - unclear to where, or what their motives ever were.

This is gorgeous, the video is mezmerizing and hypnotic and beautiful, though I liked the live version of the song recorded by KEXP crew at Iceland Airwaves a couple of years ago

Precisely!

Wow! That’s truly amazing, thank you for this work!
Well, that's a mood! Stunning & hypnotic.
Absolutely stunning ❤️
