Visigothic Tower of Fa

Fa is a small, sleepy village in the département of the Aude in the Languedoc region of southern France. Overlooking the village is the well-preserved Visigothic tower indicated on the local map as "Le Château Tour", although the tower and part of the west wall are all that remain of the fortress that once stood atop the hill. The tower can be seen from Rennes-le-Château (6 Km to the east). I put this video together in 2006, although the filming was done in Winter 2005. I do eventually intend to re-edit the video in order to get rid of the silly 'landscape geometry' animation at the end, and also to replace the music (which I composed) with something less sonically excruciating.

Don;t change the music, it fits right in with the whole mystery behind the geometry and precise placement of the buildings...whoever the slowed down jazz horn bit might have been a bit over the top, but as far as displaying this amazing wonder of our past and the brilliant guitar piece I think this was wonderfully and tastefully presented!
