Hi everyone, welcome to a Legomatic post! In this post, I'll be showing the Tree of Musical Life, my entry for the Lego IDEAS contest, Music To Our Ears(enter while you still can!) I'll go through each part individually, to explain it all.
Here is the Tree of Musical Life, which looks a little weird until you notice the trunk is a quarter note, slightly tilted. At the very base is the first flute ever created, which I believe planted the music that came into the world. From there, music sprouted out into different forms that we know today.
In this model, we have(from left to right):
An Australian playing a Didgeridoo
A Native playing an Animal Skin Drum
An American playing a Electric Guitar
An International Pop Star on her Mic
A European on a piano
A Scot playing his Bagpipes
While they are all vastly different, they all came from the same joy, the same desire, to make music, the one thing we can all understand one way or another.
Since I don't own that many Lego musical instruments, I had to build most from scratch. The piano uses white grilled pieces as keys, the bagpipes uses brown telescopes as whatever those tubes are, and the native drummer uses a skeleton handle as his stick.
The build went through multiple revisions, first having a solid trunk, then having the flute being the trunk, and then finally, the music note as the trunk. Good MOC's have to go through multiple ideas and revisions. As well, I decided to add the people in after I built them, to give them personality.
And that's it for now. Thanks if your coming from Lego Ideas, hope I can have your support! Next time, I hope I can show some Steampunk builds, and I'll see you then.
