The following is a description/instructions on how the "score" relates to the final video:

In the Music:

. The image is read top-to-bottom, using a scanning line. In a sense, you could take the image and rotate it 90 degrees, and then read left-to-right.
. Blocks of shading or highlights denote notes or tones away from the root note (wider block=lower tone for black, higher tone for white), while the intensity of shading denotes the use of distortion or other effect on the instrument (more shading=more effect).
. To keep with more western scales, the blocks are measured in millimeters. Then, that measurement is doubled, and rounded to the nearest half (3.2 -> 3). That final number denotes the whole tones away from the root note (high or low).
. Single, horizontal lines (vertical when rotated) can be seen as “hits”, slamming all notes simultaneously or using a sound effect in place of that.
. When a block morphs over time, the note must similarly morph. For example, as a dark block gets wider, the note must get lower. This is restricted in part from the rounding rule.
. Any singular vertical lines (horizontal when rotated) are "drones", such as a sine tone. The length of the line denotes the frequency and tone of the clicking noise (shorter=higher frequency/tone).

(See images in link above for a more visual representation of these rules)


In the Video:

. Read top-to-bottom, like the music.
. video is composed of 1 overarching theme (brown color) and 2 filming styles(for white and black shading). Each is overlayed onto the others.
. “Brown” subject matter is humanity-related, and as implied by its presence on the page incorporated into each shot to some degree.
. “Black” film style is stable, motionless, or calm
. “White” subject matter is melancholic and unstable. It uses fast movements or changes in scenery while filming, and is sped up in post.
. "Hits" show as an overlayed image of the creator's choosing, generally bright, which fades out with the hit.
. "Drones" are shown by an underlaying video, usually a clip of the "Black" film style that is tonally dark.
. The more a tone is present, the more present it is in the overlay.

. NOTE: the video does not need an overarching message per-say. The viewer should draw their own conclusions as to meanings, regardless of if there was a larger intent or message with the instruments and video clips used. The overarching theme given by the paper is merely a given base to draw inspiration or meanings from.
