I've seen the same thing, back in Inkopolis, they were in the tunnels and everything, made me wonder what it actually meant.

They don't show up anywhere, I've seen them on my own time, and boy it gets dark, because there is often an Octoling Corpse nearby, so they're killing their own kind to write that stuff.

I didn't need to .... I do like a bit of classical music ...
My Particular favorite is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
and at one time I could play Jesu Joy of Mans' Desiring on a piano :~)

I may be grasping at straws here but right smack on the middle of the meme is an eyeball on a little pedestal...... Maybe that (and the rest) is related to the botched eye surgery that killed him..? Like he was butchered and still trying to compose music..??? idk

According to Wikipedia "Becoming blind, Bach underwent eye surgery, in March 1750 and again in April, by the British eye surgeon John Taylor, a man widely understood today as a charlatan and believed to have blinded hundreds of people. Bach died on 28 July 1750 from complications due to the unsuccessful treatment.."

Thank you for a well researched explanation !
Eighteenth century surgery was unnecessarily violent ! :~)
