Beautiful musical fountain at Lotte Department Store in Busan

March 4, 2012 by Yein Jee

Video of a beautiful musical fountain at the Lotte Department Store in Busan, South Korea. Background music (for most part) is Abracadabra by pop group B.E.G.

The “graphic water fall” is a creation of Aquatique Show International, a French company specialises in modern water features. Guinness has recorded this as the world’s tallest indoor music fountain.

Going to visit this if I ever go to Busan. The city is not a high priority in my travel list though.

The Dubai Fountain – Baba Yetu by Christopher Tin

November 3, 2009 by Yein Jee

Awesome video of The Dubai Fountain – the world’s largest water feature – with Christopher Tin’s Baba Yetu as background music. It’s a beautiful show.

The Dubai Fountain – the world’s largest choreographed fountain system – is set on the man-made Burj Khalifa Lake at the centre of Downtown Dubai. Bet it’s going to become a popular tourist attraction.

The designer is a Californian company also responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. The Bellagio fountains were the largest of its kind until the completion of the Dubai Fountain.

Meanwhile, Christopher Tin is an Asian American composer. He released the Calling All Dawns album last month, and Baba Yetu is one of the 12 contemporary pieces. An old version of Baba Yetu is also a theme song for the Civilization video game back in 2005.

Baba Yetu means Our Father in Swahili, a language from East Africa. The lyrics are direct translations of the Lord’s Prayer, a famous Christian prayer. Not sure if the host (of the Dubai Fountain) realised about the fact; or perhaps the Muslim country is actually pretty liberal about religious stuff.

Cool fountain clock at Kanazawa Station

May 5, 2007 by Yein Jee

A cool fountain-clock at the main railway station in Kanazawa, Japan. Contrary to most electronic or mechanical clocks in public areas, the fountain uses (computer programs and) little water jets to display its contexts instead. The words at the beginning of the video means Kanazawa Station.

Kanazawa is a city in north-western Ishikawa Prefecture. It’s famous for its traditional handicrafts, and it’s also a major tourist attraction among Japanese. The region is relatively unknown to foreigners though.
