Music Video Ed Carlsen - "Grains of Gold"

The concept is based on an atmosphere of relief, melancholia and late-night summer dreaming whilst in a lockdown. Our main character is entrapped in his house, and the only salvation is meditation through the music he creates. Music allows him mentally go out and be anywhere he wants.
As the music video starts we see Ed in the city, whilst we are mainly not revealing his face. He is again in the urban chaos of Berlin as if lockdown never existed. The atmosphere around us is magical, we bounce between fast and slow actions, revealing the natural process of thinking and self-reflection.

Towards the second part of the music video, Ed is performing music in his garden. There are people around who are having a very good time together. Guests are his memories and representation of late-night summer dreaming, but we never reveal that.

By the end of the music video, the audience realises that all of this is his meditation inside his head, as it's still summer lockdown and he can’t leave his house.
