Dan Norman's Positive Note has a new film out on 10 November 2023. Dan Norman and Mark Bowler have collaborated on Fragments of Experience. The film brings together Blake's own texts and imagery with original music and cutting edge AI animation by Mark Bowler, 2D animation by Harrison Fleming, and live performance footage featuring soprano Marianna Suri, conducted by Olivia Clarke.
The project is centred around Blake’s poems The Fly, The Sick Rose and The Voice of the Ancient Bard with excerpts from Introduction to Songs of Experience and Earth’s Answer, woven together to create a strong ecological metanarrative — Blake’s warning cry to us across the centuries. The Fly challenges us to question our relationship with nature, The Sick Rose presents themes of decay and corruption, and finally we are called to action in The Voice of the Ancient Bard.
Mark Bowler composed original music for Fragments of Experience for a soprano and a five-piece chamber ensemble, later adding digitally manipulated music coupled with a contemporary delivery of Blake’s poetry by British-Nigerian actor Abayomi Oniyide.
