National FLOW Collective commission: Cosmic Lotus by Nick Bignall

Подробнее о видео

‘Cosmic Lotus’ is an audio visual piece that was produced in collaboration with artist Dean Tamango for the National FLOW Collective commission by Bristol Beacon.

Nick Bignall, AKA Prynox, is a Bristol based musician who is part of the National FLOW Collective program. Nick received a nomination for best producer at the 2019 Youth Music Awards, and has gone on to work as a composer and sound designer with We the Curious and Arnolfini, as well as further developing his own body of work as Prynox.

In Nick’s own words, the piece is about change, transformation, and triumph over adversity. “First stop, the muddy and murky swamp world from where the lotus grows that offers no hope. Some might call it hell. Secondly, we reach the middle ground, where she’s still not quite out of the woods, but the lotus begins to shed her chains and does start to bloom. Finally, bliss at last – we’ve reached the high world, or heaven. The darkness was worth it. Look, the lotus shows herself in full force and begins to dance. Remember the teachings of trauma as chaos turns to order. Stay strong!”
