UGS : E5 Category:

A French composer with an international reputation, Sylvain Guinet creates pared-down, cinematic music that he defines as “unconscious meditation”. Inspired by his travels and encounters, he regularly collaborates with artists from around the world.

“Lotus” is a work for solo piano at the crossroads of cultures. It stands out for its Eurasian style, a subtle fusion of Western classical harmonies and Eastern melodic inflections. This piece, dedicated to his wife, evokes the purity of the lotus, a sacred flower in Asia, a symbol of rebirth, inner peace and serenity.

The score of Lotus is relatively short (3 pages) but rich in expression. It is accessible to intermediate to advanced pianists.
