Worth mentioning (thanks to my cache of niche trivia) that the music playing is the prelude from Wagner's Rheingold. It is famously a longass E-flat chord meant to symbolize the depths of the river Rhine, as well as the creation of the Earth--a beginning, an epic in embryonic form.
I'm sure I'm person #42594 to have noticed this, but hey.
It hadn't clocked in with me, but you gotta give Rolin Jones all the kudos:
Das Rheingold gives the background to the events that drive the main dramas of the cycle. It recounts Alberich's theft of the Rhine gold after his renunciation of love; his fashioning of the all-powerful ring from the gold and his enslavement of the Nibelungs; Wotan's seizure of the gold and the ring, to pay his debt to the giants who have built his fortress Valhalla; Alberich's curse on the ring and its possessors; Erda's warning to Wotan to forsake the ring; the early manifestation of the curse's power after Wotan yields the ring to the giants; and the gods' uneasy entry into Valhalla, under the shadow of their impending doom.
src. Thank you for pointing it out.
