Throne of Tragedy

By: John Henrik Svaren "Tragediens Trone"

Hear! From this day forth,
Are the heights of Ho'reb broken,
And the sea of sulphur - ice.

And Blasphemy!
In Heaven's chambers,
Souls have fled their halls,
And closed was the Book of Life.

And behold!!
The great, white Throne,
Black with sacred blood...

Alone

By Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —

This poem by Poe, was introduced to me by the song of the same name by the Black/Avantgarde metal band Arcturus. The lyrics intrigued me, as they were beautiful and expressed clearly how I felt at the moment. I can still relate to the feeling to this day, and i think I always will...

Now, for the musical side of the poem, I tried to search for a video by Arcturus, and while it's not what I tried to find, this live act was all I could find. I prefer the 'studio' song but this will do, specially for all of you Hellhammer fans around the world.

Father's Day

Yesterday I was offered a project. I always wanted the opportunity, so now I got it. The opportunity for a real jump, I will not let him down!! Now the ball is on my side, I cannot falter or I'll fail. I cannot fail....

I love you dad!!!

From Render to Reality

I received this past Monday a picture, taken by Hugo Gutierrez, of a group of houses that were built from a project I was involved in since its very beginning. The project was full of changes, adaptations and tweaks. I even made a couple of renders, one of which I'll be posting here besides the one with the actual houses.

It's rewarding to know that such a project, specially one you worked in very hard gets materialized.

...The Real Deal...

...The Renders...
I want to thank Hugo for the opportunity he gave me in working with him. I gathered a lot of experience in project development. ThNX!!

PD.- By the way, I added a link to Molko's Blog in the Sharp Minded Link Center, my (and GVS) new doggie!

His Name is Molko...

A new best friend came into the family this Sunday the 10th (the day the Halo beta multiplayer went away) and, damn!! he's cute. He's a 4 weeks-old boxer and named after Placebo's singer, Brian Molko. I'll take frequent pictures of him so I have a record of him growing. I'm sure time will pass on by really really quickly, so I'll try to get the most of this puppy stage. I shot a couple of videos but danmed youtube is having problems uploading 3gp videos, as soon as I manage to upload them I'll post'em.

Welcome Molko!!

A bird sings at dawn,
The echoes answer its song.
A bird flies* alone...

1/10,000 of a second

This made me think of what I'm doing with my time:

"If we scaled the age of the Universe (13 billion years (that's 13,000,000,000 for americans) into a single 24hour day, the average human lifespace would last 1/10,000 of a second. What will you do with your 1/10,000 of a second?"

To All Guitar Hero Enthusiasts!!!

Heed this!! To all Guitar Hero enthusiasts, x360 and ps2 fanboys alike!! You think you really rock? You think of yourself as rockstars? Just because you play a guitar with six (yes, only five "fret" keys and the stroke), then yes, you ARE* a rockstar...



*This is, of course, sarcasm my dear fanboy...



Think again
