Antoni Gaudí

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (Catalan pronunciation: [ənˈtɔni ɣəwˈði]; 25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was a Spanish Catalan architect from Reus/Riudoms and the best known practitioner of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works reflect an individualized and distinctive style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his magnum opus, the Sagrada Família.

Gaudí's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. Gaudí considered every detail of his creations and integrated into his architecture such crafts as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. He also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís which used waste ceramic pieces.

Under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudí became part of the Modernista movement which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream Modernisme, culminating in an organic style inspired by natural forms. Gaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models and molding the details as he conceived them.

Gaudi (The Alan Parsons Project album)

Gaudi is the tenth album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1987. Gaudi refers to Antoni Gaudí, the Catalan architect, and the opening track references what is probably his best known building, La Sagrada Familia.

"Closer to Heaven" and "Money Talks" were used in an episode of the third season of the TV series Miami Vice, with "Paseo de Gracia" appearing in an episode in the show's fifth season.

A musical with the same name based on the songs of this album was released in 1993 in Germany with the songs sung in English.

This was the final Alan Parsons Project studio album. During the writing of what would have been the followup, Eric Woolfson turned the album into the rock opera eventually released as Freudiana in 1990. Alan Parsons continued as a solo artist in 1993 with Try Anything Once, an album which completes the musical evolution that started with this album.

Gaudi

by: James

God's dead, this state is torture.
Find me shade and bring me water.
Holding on.
I'm thirsty for your sage.
Back at the ranch I just got slaughtered.
Too many shoulds, too many orders.
Better come out, holding onto faith.
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life.
Work kills! It's killing me slowly
And what is the point in being so lonely?
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
If you want to live some life gets slaughtered
But they'd sell their sons and daughters
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
How can we fail less we really want to
Under the drum of some local voodoo curse
We can change our fate
Let the sun begin to shine through you night
