Treatment:
The video treatment for 'IO' starts with a simple shot of a solitary piano on stage, as we hear its opening notes in the song. The camera focuses on the piano, as we notice the intricate details and the way the light reflects off it. The lyrics, "I'm just a part of everything" underscores this opening shot, as we sense that the piano too is just one small part of the vast interconnected universe.
Next, the shaman appears on screen, belting out the lyrics, "I'm just a part of everything", as the AI-generated images of mycelium and mushrooms begin to morph across the screen. The visuals of the mycelium in motion, resembling a network of veins across the screen, emphasize the idea of connection and unity that is at the heart of the song.
As the song moves into the chorus, we see a band of mushroom musicians on stage at a mycelium concert, playing their instruments with gusto. The lyrics "i/o, i/o, coming out, I'm going in, I'm just a part of everything" accentuate the idea of the interconnectedness of all things, driving home the message that music too is just another part of this grand design.
As the video progresses, we see the shaman age over the years, becoming more and more one with the natural world around them. Shots of ancient trees, mountains and plants remind us of the profound beauty of nature, and the lyrics "To the elephant’s trunk and buzzing bee’s sting" serve as a reminder that everything in the natural world is connected, each part playing a vital role in the larger ecosystem.
At a pivotal point in the song, the shaman extends their arms above them in a circular motion, welcoming all spirits in and out, as the lyrics "Stuff coming out, stuff going in, I'm just a part of everything" play in the background. This gesture underscores the idea of unity and interconnectedness between all beings and the natural world, driving home the message that we are all in this together.
The song ends on a shot of the piano on stage by itself, highlighting the sense of finality that comes with the end of life. The lyrics, "Coming out, I'm going in, I'm just a part of everything" provide a sense of closure, reminding us that just as music connects us all, the end of life brings us all back into the larger web of life.
Overall, the video treatment for 'IO' serves as a visual representation of the interconnectedness of all things, highlighted by the imagery of mycelium, mushrooms, and the natural world. The powerful visuals, combined with the stirring lyrics of the song, underscore the message of unity, reminding us that we are all a part of something larger than ourselves. In the end, the video comes full circle, leaving us with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of life itself.

I wouldn't be surprised if Peter himself would turn this into an official Musicvideo. Because this is so fascinating to see how digital life delivers visuals to Peter Gabriel's Music.
