Timescapes: Death is the Road to Awe

Posted by Greg at 22:01, 20 Apr 2010

A wonderful short time-lapse video to make you feel that sense of wonder and awe at time beyond time, and space beyond space. Tom Lowe's Timescape: Death is the Road to Awe:

The name of the piece takes its name from the evocative music heard in the clip, from Clint Mansell's excellent soundtrack to the movie The Fountain. (Add to that his recent work on Moon, and the stunning Requiem for a Dream soundtrack - check out 'Lux Aeterna' for instance - and Mansell is one of the most interesting musical artists in the world today in my opinion.)

This is just a great moving work of art. It made me so happy that I cried and I don't even know why. It is like a new day dawning or building a new world from the old or something like that. It is hard to see through the muck we are in and break out of the mold when so many for so long just keep trying to pull us back down into the established order. Just for a moment there is light, clear light. There is hope a better world will emerge through the conflict and find peaceful co-existance.
