A few notes Tips

The Story of SagraDAC

That year, I went to Barcelona for the first time.

Spain, once a powerful country dominant globally, now has only a small piece of land left. The most desirable places in Spain are not the capital Madrid, but Barcelona and Granada. Speaking of Barcelona, one must mention Gaudi, the master architect. Barcelona is practically Gaudi's architectural museum, and the ultimate expression of Gaudi's work is the Sagrada Família, which began construction in 1882 and remains unfinished to this day. This is also the longest-running church construction in the world.

The correct pronunciation of Sagrada is "sa-gra-da," with a rolled 'r' and a clear sound, not "sa-gua-da."

On my first day in Barcelona, I couldn't wait to rent a bicycle and go find the Sagrada Família.

First, I rode north along the coast, and after seeing Plaza Leonardo da Vinci, I turned left onto Diagonal Avenue. After 4 kilometers, I briefly visited the flea market, then turned right off Diagonal Avenue, which was roughly not far from the Sagrada Família.

The nearby streets were narrow and tree-lined. Although most buildings were about 5 or 6 stories high, the view still didn't extend far.

When I turned a corner, the Sagrada Família suddenly appeared before my eyes, and the shock was indescribable.

Although I had seen countless photos of the Sagrada Família online, I still didn't expect it to be so massive.

The six or seven-story buildings at the foot of the Sagrada Família looked like shoeboxes.

It was so huge, ornate, and intricate. It was so massive, yet so soft, so soft that there was hardly a straight line. The closer you got, the more details you could see.

Man-made creations, the beauty of architecture, could be like this.

Music is also like this.

Music should have a huge presence

Music should be ornate and rich

Music should stand firm like a mountain, yet be as delicate as tender shoots.

If I make an amazing DAC, I will use this name: SagraDAC.
