Calamaistr's News

Posted by Calamaistr - June 18th, 2011


A magnifiscent skyship, docked at the southeast peninsula, orobas had been right..
A shame he did not come along, something about it not being 'his fate.

"Welcome aboard, you must be the 'ivory' survivor, your name preceeds you and so does your history." the captain welcomed evrae on the ship.

Kseres sighed.. "Just.. call me Orrin.."

"will do" the captain laughed.. "Let me introduce myself to you anyway, my name is Uume and i am what you could call blessed with being a denimus hunter"

Orrin looked suprised, "So there are more planets out there who have been impeded by those things?"

"Heh" .. the captain nervously coughed.. "they are everywhere" "you could consider them a plague these days"
"Anyway, i was directed to ..your planet because of an anomaly"

"Wich is?" Orrin hastily responded.. fearing he could have meant lone..

"there is a certain individual on your planet literally functioning as a beacon for these Denimus flocks guiding them to find planets to..populate and devour"
Uume explained with a grim look on his face..
"and i think i know where this individual is located"

"But" Orrin interrupted "why exactly do you need 'me"

Uume firmly grabbed Orrin's shoulder and pulled him along a corridor.. "I captured a robotic kind of creature, highly advanced..part denimus as far as i can tell" "it keeps mentioning a certain 'white hair'"
"You fit that description, perhaps you can talk to it" "Ah, here it is.. in this room" Uume stopped and administrated a keypad opening the door..
Inside sat as described.. a highly advanced robotic creature, made of a combination of black and oddly colored orbs, screws, plates and tubes.. Its head seemed more like a series of sectional parts and artificial material never seen before..

"Is this the white haired one you talked about?" Uume asked, directed at the robot..

But it stayed silent staring into nothingness.

"Odd, normally it wouldnt know how to stop rephrasing the same message and now that you're here he wont speak" Uume sighed.

"Know what never mind it, perhaps his battery is dead" "lets go to my cabin and talk about what 'i know"

-

At Uume's cabin:

"Ok, lets cut to the chase" Uume sat down and emediately started talking..

"This ship has a scanning module concentrating on certain characteristics of the denimus, its how we found the robot but it also peaks out on a closeby location wich is why we are docked here"

Orrin looked out of the window, nothing but fields of green and in the distance the mountains.. "I dont.."
"The mountains" Uume interrupted him.. "Hes there"

"Who is?" Orrin replied.. "you still havent told me"

"Ive been doing my research" Uume continued.. "It seems like there once was a man within this very constellation who have combined the fates of several planets in range"
"I am abselutely convinced that this man is he who now has somehow integrated himself as part of the Denimus program"

Orrin staggered.. "You cannot mean the man i am thinking of" "it CANT be .."

"Lone" "Kauregal" both uttered in differ..

"W..WHAT?" Orrin hacked.. "a..actually im glad but.. kauregal has been dead for centuries!"

Uume frowned.. "glad?.. i dont see what you mean"

"I.. i thought you meant someone else when you spoke of all the things you did.. but how can kauregal still be around"

"I believe he isnt" Uume proceeded "I think this isnt kauregal at all but what he became, according to the recordings of your constellation"

"Could you explain?" Orrin asked walking around in the cabin in unrest..

Uume stood up from his captains chair, walked to the window and gazed.. "Wasnt he killed by a group of sages doing research on a powerful denimus uncovered on Hura?"
"But only after he had already threaded in the dimensional portal of that very Denimus"

"According to scientists of my own planet who have researched Hura, it is very likely that the sages did not even realise kauregal had already be drained of his very soul"

"So you mean, kauregal's soul is aiding the Denimus as their personal envoy?!" Orrin carefully putted forward..

"That" "Is another theory" ..Uume responded "I personally am of opinion that the Denimus consist of such a combination of energies that if there is nothing left of kauregal's soul anylonger..no"
"He has become whole with the Denimus, thoughts of his individual soul may exist within them.."

"Aiding the denimus" Orrin concluded..

"Have you been listening?" Uume sighed slightly irritated.. "Not aiding the denimus, hes now fighting them"

Orrin could not believe his ears.. "What?!"

Uume struck a powerful pose and spouted "I think Kauregal is trying to be in control, the robot.. it proves it.. he has found a way to actually capture part of a denimus!" "Like i have captured that shell!"

'no..he must be wrong' Orrin thought to himself.. why else had the Denimus been on a killing spree ever since that incident on hura..

"I will.. tame the robot, ill get through to it.. ill uncover what kauregal left covered!" Uume now laughed.. "That, is my intention"

Orrin shook his head.. "I cant help you with that" "You may have your ideals here, you may think of history.." "But have you really studied our history?"
Walking back toward the door Orrin ended the conversation.. "There has been nothing but destruction because of what kauregal uncovered, it all leads to him"

"Fine!" Uume yelled after him.. "Then go to the mountains and see for yourself!" "This is a war being won!"

And so Orrin did, leaving the ship he turned to the mountain path..leaving Uume's skyship behind him..
A Denimus hunter.. maybe.. but his scientific aproach clouded his vision.. If Uume was right and Kauregal truly was on those mountains, it was as a Denimus beacon and not an infiltrant, the robot proved nothing.. lone's death proved everything.

UPDATE: Continuing with the TTC - hybrid album.
Just uploaded track 8 'the hybrid'
Track 10 is already done but ofcourse still need to create 9 before i can upload it. :)

UPDATE: interrupting to upload some 8bit stuff, will continue after.

UPDATE: had some hard time irl personal stuff concerning a family member but im proud to say the storyboard of this album has finished and reads as followed:

'Kseres/ivory visits the battleship hovering over eden after Orobas (one of his remaining followers) tells him that it piloted by someone hunting denimus has appeared since after the catastrophical encounter with several denimus.
He meets with Uume sol who has been after a dimensional criminal by the name of Kaurl (hes alive and kicking) who now leads a whole army of machines infused with the program of denimus, Uume sol captured their prototype called Nyi seisgis.
Kaurl now goes by the name of Sensuï and is quickly closing in on a dimensional hub used by denimus as a beacon that is supposed to be somewhere in the area of eden.
Eventually they spot Sensuï and proceed to do battle, before this happens however Nyi seisgis breaks loose and destroys Uume sol's battleships from the inside.
Ivory is left alone to decide if he wants to join Kaurl and reign supreme, or risk it all and fight him.'

This will function as the lead on the coming tracks. Greets -cal.

But also grass! and the bone breaking spring breeze.

-The deep ocean beddings land! and Glassman cant even breathe underwater like every other human being!!!!!!!!!
Here he will try to stay alive dodging thousands of really really small shrimp and coral reef that still remains from tourism, its not much.

-Atomic warfare land!! Glassman will have to get through a giant minefield while nukes are being dropped by highly advanced militairy helicopters while everything is already on fire!

Will Glassman survive?!?!?!?!!!

Currently composing a new album called 'A captured god'

In short its about a boy and an invisible skyline sized giant friend. By lack of reality.. in his fantasies the boy thought he had captured the giant into servitude after a great adventure he had lived in his playtime, little did he know the giant was his unintended apparition of the world, a world that for his imagination would see this kid as a god. But none saw him, none but the giant.
And the giant comforted him regardless.

Existant or not.

In essence the boy is the 'captured god' seeing as his giant doesnt exist.
The boy is captured by his imagined replacement for the world.

Then again, i still dont really know where this story is going myself, like all my fairy tales they make themselves as i continue working on it.

I will probably not make anything else but this album until its done.

Currently:

-a captured god 1: Intro. (finished and uploaded)
-a captured god 2:the german. (finished and uploaded)
-a captured god 3:taking a stroll. (finished and uploaded)
-a captured god 4:air raid on the giant. (finished and uploaded)
-yet to come.
-yet to come.
-yet to come.
-yet to come.

note: will most likely redo 'the german' eventually, im just not happy with the result.
-

Im still undecided on how exactly i want to write this story, the raw deal is there and i have started to write it a bit before but disagreed with where it was going, i want it to be in another time i think, i was writing in the present and i dont think it should be around just after world war 1, before ww2 or so. The story taking place in early holland. What can i say.. its the scenery. (not because i live there, cause theres nothing left of how it used to look anyway)

edit: yep definately going to be just past ww1.

Posted by Calamaistr - January 18th, 2011


mailed fulp requesting unblock of my music, im in need of clients and there are just no other ways of sharing/showcasing my music than ng used to be for me.

but ill stay on low profile this time if he accepts the request, dont feel like attracting all the negative attention. And frankly.. im starting to care less about if people zerovote, or music stays without reviews. Atleast little exposure is better than no exposure at all.


Posted by Calamaistr - December 5th, 2010


Fuck everyone on the audio portal.

Have a nice day and go ahead saying nothing of value was lost, thats how i think about you guys.

p.s. yes i actually am a better composer than most of you bags of air.

--------

Contact information:
Calamaistr on yt. Pm me there for msn or mail i dont hand those out in public.
My current work is continued on my hyves (dutch profile site) and my Yt for now.

There is a slim chance ill be back to newgrounds someday when the audio portal works to the benefit of the uploader.

-------------------PROJ3

-Nightmare of lighter darker-
Status: COMPLETED.

-------------PROJ2
-Hammernaut (worktitle)-
status: until further notice COMPLETED.

------------------------PROJ1
-TTC chgenero-
status: COMPLETED.

---------------------------PROJ0
I still have a few titles on my pc that i need to do a remake or a remix of, and in the future i might put more music from my memory cards to my pc if i can find the time (seeing as it will take one or two whole days with all the cables laying around)

among the tracks i will definately do a remake or remix of are:

-Swirl (oh YEA! definately will be doing this with all the awesome surround effects, perhaps even sooner than the other ones this really is still one of my best works, even though its lowfi.. or actually compared to what i now use; dreadful instrumentation.)
-only you. (a track i once made for a girl, hmmm oh.)
-Lift up away. (kindof a depressing track perhaps but a good one)
-Blue forest. (not what you would expect from such a title)
-Pink forest. (possibly one of my weirdest tracks ever)
-Nice weather. (inspired by as the title suggests)
-I will miss you. (a track i wrote for my father not very long after he passed, made with soley melodical bells)
-Remember persona. ((completed and uploaded))
-Hybernacoelum (god knows how im going to pull that off but ill try)
-Dia (one of my best ambient tracks from 07 with lowfi)
-Brave and a friend (up there) (is going to be a hard thing to reproduce but i just have to do it sometime.)
-Call me. (the only dance track i ever made and enjoyed for it, is going to be the last thing i want to do though haha)

and

-Music box melancholy. (a bit like 'i will miss you' but more in general)

To start this list ive done a remix on a very old track (the predecessor of 'Katlean prime') -Capital Katlean'.

Also here is the workfile for what im going to make after being done with the above.
It covers the TTC CHGenero novel as a soundtrack. If i had to do music for every scene it would be around 50 tracks at least so i let some of the music cover multiple scenes or skip certain scenes alltogether. Ofcourse anyone just reading this wont get much of it but its an estimation really.
--------------

-

>NOTES
Small change of plans, ive already started on the TTC CHG album.
'The honor of hura' has been composed and is currently rendering.

Ill just do these two projects when the inspiration comes, or it just doesnt work. :)

another important note, the versions im uploading are the raw versions, the workfiles that may still need some work here and there. In no way the absolute product for the OST.

1
-TTC CHG gets priority.

2
-Dont worry about hearing something nice in my music and suddenly it changes to another scene, some themes will return in other pieces of the TTC CHG album, ofcourse not in the same shape and color but youll definately recognice them when you listen to the whole album much like what ive done with the Strangled album. I make what you could call an interim or demo entry of these themes in certain prologue event tracks so thats the gist of it.

3
- yea ive done it! i finally found the bell effect flute type kind of sound in fruity loops, i wrote it down:

Lm square + cut -

Thats pretty much the formula for beautifuls.

Never thought it would be that simple.

Greets, and if you like my music feel free to comment.

4
-Increased the album size by an extra track 'in a nutshell' because a rather important part of the story has not been told yet. Being sanake and ega's secret mission. There was no place to add this in the previous tracks so im just going to have to make a individual theme for them.
It will most likely be a loop with a reocurring melody for later.

6
-Added 'abouts' on every tracks listing for TTC CHG.

7
-Carry around fate has been redone, an earlier version did not satisfy (myself).
However it came to my 'wierd man' attention that i put the climax of 'rainroad' at the end by mistake thinking i was writing the background of the TC4 (just worktitle) piano theme.
It turned out a perfect fit and i couldnt find any way to change it, it was just to perfect.
All in all Carry around fate is really an 'intermission' track rather than a scene track, its to tell a bit of 'what has been going on' since the story is so vast and i cant fit it all in 4K character posts all the time.

8
-All information about roamers and their originals, including indepth. Will be posted in a large TTC indepth post when the album is done, here.. on my profile. So if youve been starting to get interested in the whole story keep checking back, i wont post the whole script though, just a special indepth just for NG and my (cough) fans. ;)

9
-Decided to do some extra work in the form of a 3rd project for 2ndself's Jetpack paladin.
If youve payed attention on my uploads, you should have noticed it concerns bonus lvl tracks. :)

10
-Did she die a hero and in the early days of dam have swapped places to fit the story, in the original writing i made sure events werent in relevant order to make certain plots more exciting, i wouldnt want to spoil it for the music either hence.

11
-Sadly due to the extremely low charactercount of 4.000 its very hard for me to explain the TTC CHG story as much as i want to, apoligies for this for those that actually read the.. quite relevant actually.. notations to the tracks.

12
-Vicis e Gis, translated the moment (or event) of kings is added to the album list because i could not cover the subject of Evrae/Orrin's speech wich would explain a whole bunch of things later on.
This is absolutely crucial to understanding the story for as much as that is possible with the above point 11. The name has been chosen from my old TTC related work from console, ill have to look into that track for some reference, but that will take time.

I first wanted to do this after i was done with the rest of the album as some kind of bonus track but it would make people oblivious to the structure of the plot.

-

13
- Battle of owls and Reunion with confusion do not have their txt in the musicbox itself due to the character limit being way to small and i couldnt affort to cut anything without ruining the storyline.

Instead the txt is now on newsposts and the musicbox contains a link to it.

Depending on the last 3 tracks story contents this may happen for those too.

Hope its not to inconvenient. Ill be bumping this newpost soon anyway.

14
- This newspost is reposted/bumped.


Posted by Calamaistr - May 13th, 2010


----DUE TO CHARACTER LIMIT THE TXT CONCERNING REUNION WITH CONFUSION HAS BEEN PLACED HERE----

00.0-0.18|

Owls desert temple, in front a man sat on the stairs..
"you look familiar.. is this the way out of the desert?" said lone who had fled in its direction..

The man looked up to lone.. "hmpf.. go in if you want"

Lone seemed confused.. "wich way do i go to leave the desert? its important.."

The armored man seemed annoyed.. "Then dont go in"

"What is.. "in" anyway?" sighed lone..

"the truth" replied the man, stood up and walked to the door opening it.
"well?"

Lone jumped off his horse, he was already far enough from the battle.. though he didnt want to just trust about anyone he had the feeling he should now.

In the corridor of the interior bloodstains decorated the walls..
"Is this even safe?" lone said..

The armored man closed the door.

0.18-0.43|
lone sighed and walked deeper down the hall untill he found some stairs..
Down the stairs another man sat in the shadows before an even bigger door..

"You actually made it.." Said the shaded man.

Lone could not make out his face still standing in the stairway.

"I know everything now.." the man continued. "i was a fool, thats for sure"

"I lost everything, heh.. wasnt even strong enough to beat that thing behind those doors you know?"
The man pointed to the large doors beside him..

"Right now shes fighting it, again.. its a lost cause though.. its all a lost cause.. wouldnt you.." "wouldnt YOU agree?"
The man stood up.. walking out of the shade..

Lone fell from the stairs in shock..

Before him stood Eken ihuren in person.

"WHY ... are YOU here??!" lone yelled completely overwhelmed.. "where have you BEEN?!... d..do you know what ive been trough.. our family.. YOUR family.."

Eken unsheated his sword and rammed it beside lones head into the wall.. "HOW DARE YOU.. talk about my family.."

Lone turned white.. "w..what?"

Eken grabbed his own face almost trying to hide shame "why didnt i recognice you..."

"what are you talking about..." lone uttered shivering..

0.43-1.04|
"She told me everything.." Eken continued.. "It was you all along.."
Eken stood up again and pulled his sword out of the wall then held it against lones throat.
"YOU.. are the roamer sent after me"

1.04-1.44|
Lone could not believe what he heard.. he a roamer? was this why everyone suddenly acted so strange.. evrae's speech.. but no it couldnt be.. werent roamers evil beings?
Why couldnt he remember where he came from... sure he was the prince of eden.. but only because he had been adopted by emperor istus.. yes.. thats right.. nobody knew where he came from..
But wasnt he an ancient.. was he eken's roamer?.. it didnt make sense..

Eken seemed in doubt aswell, he still held the blade against lones throat but would not move..

Lone slowly began to speak.. "if.. i am really.. a roamer.. i have never had any intention of harming our family"

why would he, he had always been generosity itself, he had always been liked by the people and liked the people in turn.
Who would judge him...

Eken took down his sword.. "At the time... when i entered denimus.. as i had to escape my civilisation's destruction..."...
"i was in anger, in feelings for revenge, i could think of nothing else than sadness and rage.."

"Maybe my mother was wrong about you, maybe you arent a threat"

Lone looked down.. "Your mother.. but.. why have you left us to begin with and what proof did she give?"

Eken sat unto the stairway and explained.

"She was mortally wounded by herui marm, a monsterous tentacle of the god buhishin on whoms.. new doorstep we are now standing.
When you fell down the battlefield and i pulled you into the bushes when we first met, looking into your eyes i recogniced the eyes of an ancient, but only because i was looking into.. my own."

"I was sure back then to find and defeat the roamer that denimus, the contraption i used to get here.. had sent after me, but it turned out that many roamers had arrived for reasons yet unknown to me at that time"
"My uncle.. Bakuran, well.. the guy at the entrance you cant have missed..has told me that multiple people had escaped my time and plane therefore creating more and more roamers, but the main rule of denimus is that all roamers are bound to certain rules themselves."

Lone nodded.. "Kiga told me that aswell"

Eken ihuren sighed and continued. "Not only that when an ancient uses it, anomalies happen but also that it mirrors the traits of the user"

"So you thought because you were on the side of good your roamer wouldve been evil?" replied lone slightly coming near, sitting down on the floor.

Eken nodded. "thing is with all the feelings of hate i had at the time, i now understand my mother couldve been wrong about that and i have created a roamer that is .. like you.. good"

Lone scratched his head.. "Its still hard for me... to realise i would be a roamer, what does it make me.."

"It doesnt make you, 'you make what you are lone, if i didnt believe in that myself i wouldve killed you a moment ago" Eken answered.

It fell silent for a moment but Eken continued again.

"Eventually my mother found a way to escape my age, and turned up here aswell.. she emediatly recogniced you but could not get close to you so she played out a plot that was sure to kill both the other roamers and force you out of your protection"
"But i, i was still under the impression then that you really were an ancient and entrusted my family to you"...
"And myself? heh, i was arrogant and thought i could take revenge on buhishin personally.. so i headed here and have tryed to destroy it ever since untill my mother arrived here aswell and told me everything about you.."

"......, at first i didnt believe her but when bakuran explained me how roamers are formed it all made sense..

Lone understood, traveling with denimus had been comfortable.. it did make sense...it really did..
And the puppet in Kiga's mountain maze.. had it been talking about him.. was he responsible for the death of the championcast?!.. his family..

Kiga che.. had he thrown lone in there because he saw trough him being a roamer, something he didnt even know himself?
Apparently with lone surviving the predicament it had made kiga che even more carefull, wich explained why lone was kept under guard constantly, especially at katlean..

Lone seemed deep in thought for a moment then asked..
"you said it was a lost cause when i entered the room.. but.. is it still?"

Eken stood up from the stairs "Not to you it is, know what lone, you actually are allright."
"Just now ive been thinking too, i think i 'will entrust my family to you afterall, so do promise me to complete my family's objective."

Lone nodded. "Your order? master?"

Eken gave lone a short hug.. then gazed into his eyes deeply and said.. "Live" then turned around kicked in the large door andwalked trough, dissapearing into the darkness behind it..
