I listened to it quite a few times picking out different sections or sounds that brought feelings or potential build ideas to mind. Settling on just one concept was definitely no easy task! In the end I simplified things down to three primary sections of the song; and decided to portray those themes in a fantasy forest setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first to me has a slightly eerie, mysterious, industrial feel to it with the hammers, wind, and ticking sound. 0 &#8211; 1:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle the mood shifts to something magical, serene, and peaceful. 1:15 &#8211; 1:45<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the final portion is ominous, foreboding, and has a feeling of unknown, almost other-worldly danger, especially the last few moments. 1:45 &#8211; 3:03<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of ways you could interpret the music, and the same is true of my finished model.<br>It was a very fun and unique way to approach building a scene, and pushed me to think about things in ways I normally wouldn&#8217;t. Throughout the build I tried to use colors, textures, and layout to emphasize the corresponding themes I took from the music. I would love to hear what you thought of while listening to the piece that inspired this build!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size.png\" rel=\"lightbox[16633]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3600\" height=\"1577\" data-id=\"16634\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16634\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size.png 3600w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-420x184.png 420w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-1024x449.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-1536x673.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-2048x897.png 2048w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-250x110.png 250w, http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Final-Full-Size-150x66.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3600px) 100vw, 3600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symphony of Construction 2023 Ian and Lee did an amazing job creating a piece of music that sparks your imagination.
