"You Can Ignore The Music"
But basically, you've got it.
Clues:
1. The backward audio says, "you can ignore the music."
2. The code must be deciphered.
3. You can figure it out from the still image alone.

and to do it in the most fun way, imported and textured map to meshes in blender to operate the code wheels
Wow!

Don't know if the clock hands have any importance, but added a couple meshes just to track them or line up the wheels
When your current method inevitably stumps you, feel free to ask questions! 🤣
Well. "reset the clock or seal your fate" a warning to move the clock to the 12 position i guess.
This is actually a lot of fun for me. Ty for letting me see your process.
or i'm just a masochist, since there's no reward other than solving it now haha.
