(bigger is better...)
My brown-eyed girl
Come walk with me
I'll fill your heart with joy
And we'll dance through our isolation
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
Turning thoughts to the here and everafter
Consuming fears in our fiery halos
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I've heard that innocence
Has led us all astray
But don't let them make you and break you
The world is filled with their broken empty
dreams
Silence is their only virtue
Locked away inside their silent screams
But for now
Let us dance away
This starry night
Filled with the glow of fiery stars
And with the dawn
Our sun will rise
Bringing a symphony of bird cries
Don't bring me down now
Let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short
Let me bathe here in your smile
I'm transcending
The fall from the garden
Goodnight

This is my third MOC.
--------------------------------
Windfall is Saltcrown’s lair. Hidden in the midst of the deep forest, the dark elf warlock’s treehouse is only accessible through a small pond, poisonous to any unannounced visitor but vital to the Tree. The camouflaged outpost is guarded by Saltcrown himself and his elven and animal companions.
The title comes from the Dead Can Dance instrumental, which I listened in loops while building Windfall; in a way, it became its soundtrack in my mind.
--------------------------------
I haven’t posted any creation online during these last few months, but I haven’t been inactive either. Most of my Lego time has been spent getting inspiration from other builders, learning new techniques, and acquiring more pieces for my collection.
Windfall was built during the last month. My wish was to build something as organic as I could, while remaining in the general Castle mood. I soon opted for a treehouse, in part because of foggy memories of Forestmen’s sets from my childhood, but I wanted the whole building to be integrated into the morphology of the tree, not just fixed around it. Which led to some very fun and experimental building techniques.
First came a round structure made with hinges and round 1x1 bricks. While the trunk was getting taller, I had to integrate flat elements in that general curve (windows and balconies), and thus find a way to fix them in pretty convoluted ways (sticking them on turntable plates from the inside of the tree, and using a lot of hinges to reconnect subassemblies to the trunk at random angles). A lot of mixels (joints!) and a few Bricklink orders (leaves!) later, I was able to give to the tree-top the mushroom-dome shape I had imagined in the first place, and close the whole thing with a long (and mostly invisible ;-) ) balcony.
I wanted to get an irregular and lively shape for the trunk, while integrating recognizable castle elements in it, as well as some less obvious pieces. Most of the solutions I found were a mix of improvisation and inspiration from other builders, namely the amazing Derfel Cadarn and his unbelievable castle builds - and tutorials of course - and many others; a great many thanks to him and this amazing builder’s community for sharing their knowledge and talent online; there is an incredible amount of things to be learnt from you.
Hope you enjoy Windfall!

Tribute to Dead Can Dance album's cover 'Within the realm of a dying sun'
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Within_the_Realm_of_a_Dying_Sun
"Le convoi poursuivit en direction d'un champ de tombes où gît quelque part mon mauvais sujet de père. J'avais de la peine à situer l'emplacement, depuis si longtemps que je n'étais pas venu. Nous passions près de tous les morts de notre petite ville pourrie, connus, inconnus, de ceux dont le nom avait été gravé dans le marbre, de ceux dont la cendre était dispersée dans le coin de la fosse commune. Ceux-là, jusqu'à leur nom avait été enlevé, mais ils ne me semblaient pas à moi plus abandonnés que les autres."
>>> Lukas Bärfuss.......in: Les hommes morts (2002)
"The convoy continued on towards a field of graves where my bad father lies somewhere. I could hardly place it, it had been so long since I'd been there. We passed by all the dead of our rotten little town, known and unknown, those whose names had been carved in marble, those whose ashes were scattered in the corner of the mass grave. Even their names had been taken from them, but they didn't seem any more abandoned to me than the others."

"The saltarello was a lively, merry dance first mentioned in Naples during the 14th century."
Extract from Wikipedia
Saltarello by Dead Can Dance | www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQILvRxj7rs
"Mantendo a tendência cinética que vinha então a definir o seu trabalho, o artista configurou nesta escultura uma dinâmica progressão geométrica que assinala a transformação de um cubo num paralelepípedo. Estruturada como uma sequência em arco que se materializa no espaço, a peça é composta por vários elementos com volumes diferenciados, mas que adquirem contudo um sentido de unidade através da pintura vermelha."

All Hallows Church, South-East London
For a period of time in the early 1980s, All Hallows Church was converted into a recording studio and became the home of hits. Blackwing Studios was where Depeche Mode laid down their debut album "Speak & Spell", and it was also here that Yazoo made their early recordings. Blackwing was one of the studios that led the way in producing the synth sound associated with Brit Pop. The studios closed in September 2001. The building has been empty ever since.

The Cementerio General de Santiago, Chile is one of the largest cemeteries in Latin America with an estimated 2 million burials. The cemetery was established in 1821 after Chile's independence when Bernardo O'Higgins inaugurated the Alameda de las Delicias along the old course of the Mapocho River. O'Higgins set aside more than 85 hectares of land for the foundation of what became a magnificent grounds filled with ornate mausoleums surrounded by palm and leaf trees set amidst lush gardens and numerous sculptures, which have been estimated be 237. The cemetery, which is located northwest of Cerro Blanco, serves as a true urban park for Santiago.
4 years ago.
all'epoca ero l'addetta dello sportello
al servizio di riparazione *brecce sui polsi*.
mi occupavo di fili scoperti e mani divelte.
delle unghie cortissime rese incarnite dal continuo scalfire dell'intonaco del muro.
delle conseguenze dell'attesa e dello scampanellio disarmante delle finestre vuote.
quando cadeva la prima neve ero sempre lì a contarla sullo scorrimano del balcone,
come con le righe dell'abbecedario
o con le sfere di legno profumato del pallottoliere.
era una gestione sacrificata della mia prigionia delle ore,
ti chiamavo a tarda notte col telefono senza fili,
utilizzando un bicchiere di carta che sgocciolava e i pochi spiccioli d'occhi rimasti incartati al caldo nel forno,
e la strada per tornare a casa era sempre troppo dilatata,
troppo azzurra.
sarebbe bastato un tuo gesto, uno qualsiasi,
ma non è arrivato, e non c'era né da prevederlo né da aspettarselo. non c'era, punto e basta.
così ho raccolto il bucato sotto la pioggia e mi sono lentigginosamente riconvertita,
da lampione a faro.
in questi tempi di licenziamenti massicci,il mio principale-me non mi lascerà più sotto l'acqua ad annegare.
è una questione di stile,
io preferisco il dorso,
ho sempre bisogno di guardare il cielo mentre mi spingo,
la testa è bella immergerla al contrario, virare,e tornare a galla.
corpo-anima, 1-0
sangue al centro
If you want, if you want, if you want
sono un gigante buono,
sono la terraferma dopo il Patto,
la vigna, le lacrime non nate
sono tutto ciò che non confonderesti mai più col buio, ora

listening to dead can dance - the carnival is over
Dead Can Dance (sometimes referred to as DCD) were an ethereal neoclassical world music duo which formed in Melbourne, Australia, in August 1981. Its mainstays were Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. The band relocated to London in May 1982 and disbanded in 1998, but reunited temporarily for a world tour in 2005. Their 1996 album Spiritchaser reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top World Music Albums Chart. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance as having an ambient style of world music that "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty... with African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chants, Middle Eastern mantras and art-rock"
Unknown Pleasures ° Post-punk aesthetic is my heavily curated group for photographers inspired by Post-punk music or images that visually represent the aesthetic and attitude of the music.
The quality of the work in this group is exceptional and would be of value to anyone interested in contemporary or creative photography.
