Originally based upon an Egyptian font style (called dings) this movie for passive displays is now a major vector animation, featuring not only beautiful music, but also a richly woven tapestry of animation, special effects, sounds and colors; including turquoise, amber, Lapis Lazuli and gold. All of these combine to evoke the ambience of ancient times- full of mystery, splendour and romance. This display will take you along the Nile to join Pharaoh in his quest for the North Star, or to darkened tombs to watch him awaken from a long slumber. Or the Princess, as her torch illuminates the palace, searching perhaps for some unrequited desire or quest for Heaven. Travel the Upper and Lower Kingdoms as your desk top comes to life in cascading dreams of ancient journeys. And all this while listening to water flutes and Tibetan bells. This beautifully haunting high quality sound track is from the album, 'All Our Ancestors' by British ambient group Tuu. This is a remarkable desktop display- as rich an experience as Pharaohs would have conquered kingdoms for. |
