The winner here is ianpahute, his artistic take on the bands brief 'descending or ascending feeling, until you are released from this mortal coil' is beautifully illustrated with Ian's free-falling figure. This abstract piece although more a visual maybe than a video, complements the music and is a fitting end for this album project that sees our hero falling through his own private purgatory.
"Is our protagonist: Falling, Swimming, Flying or Dying? Is this a triumphant ascension or simply an end?
I felt an abstraction was an appropriate response to this Royksopp track. The music holds the message and the role of the imagery is to augment - not supersede.
The final result is somewhat painterly. It might not be a 'pop video' in a traditional sense but I believe it works for this track. View it as something that would sit in the background - something you would float with - the imagery influencing unconsciously - rather than providing a narrative explanation."
