Call of the machine!

A small cutsey machine called 'lines' has stayed behind on earth, that is, in the days before the browser even existed! (technically our actual timezone irl)

He holds the codex / messages that would warn the humans of things to come to avert the browser and wars.. but also the machine itself alltogether, pretty much annulating the whole damn thing.

Even though i am fully aware of the fact that probably the amount of fans i have is countable on a single set of hands i still wanted to give it a shot and share with you a custom made piano-script on zoom of the relatively popular 'all will be here' track.

Yes that means if you can play the piano' and read a pianoroll with this custom made file you can actually play that track.

So, If you can and do so please record it and let me hear it, preferably on youtube :)

Thanks in advance and if you need me for a project send me a pm and ill think about it :)

This is what it will sound like:

edit: now longer (transcript still same size tho)

Also now nuclear cathedral pianoized.
www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/545331

(personally still like all will be here better but whatever, they are both pretty popular tracks)

If you actually bother to check my profile once in a blue moon you might have noticed i have changed my real life face picture to a silly looking calamari with a crown on his head.

This is because its my new music mascot.

My name itself comes from 'calamarimonitor' wich is a cryptic way of saying 'alien - spy' of sorts.
My artistname being Calamaistr is a combination of the above and 'master or maistr (how europeans say master trying to sound more interesting than they are, wich i am.) (trying to sound more interesting, not that i am more interesting.. or so is proven by how little people actually respond to my newsposts)

Anyway, its a calamari master, king of the calamari.

P.S NOW SURROUNDED BY MINION CALAMARI

i know, cutesyness overload.

Thanks. -cal.

Oh and as for musics, i have nothing going atm, apart from waiting for someone to respond to a pm. :)

Update: Album finished (:

Update: if you thought huh doublepost? no, i just cant put old newsposts on my profile fp so this is intentional.
Thing is i've taken up The time crafter - mozaic again so i can finish it, afterall a culywuly album like this cant remain incomplete.

Anyway just finished work on burning the desert and holy magicarp is it good, if i may say so myself as a composer.

UPDATE: Added the full map of Edin, the primary planet of the Time crafter saga.
Also added storyline pinpoint locations. This map has not changed, it has looked exactly like this for more than 10 years.

If you like my work dont forget to comment on my newsposts btw so i know people apreciate it.

greets.

The browser is the most human of the machines and has as only function to stop all machines that become sentient, at first he will try to do so only by logical reasoning,
but when that doesnt work because the machines start to dream and forsee the future and their role in it 'the browser' turns to global violence, afterall its only function is to keep order.

All in all its not humans that escalate the cataclysm directly,
but indirectly by having given the browser a order that it cannot execute without turning violent due to the restrictions of 'the collective of machines being broken.

the machine 1 and 2 already give away the outcome, the world is destroyed by the browser,
but the collective of machines or in other words 'the machine' rescues the surviving humans and brings them to a new planet on wich the last man on earth chooses to keep his memory and with it learns this has been done before.

In The dream of the machine (the machine 3) we also look at the feelings of the specific collective of machines waking up from the foreseeing dream and ofcourse the rage of the browser that cannot,
literally, deal with it' from being a pleading overseer to being a 'total annihalation is the only remaining logic' reasoning monstrosity, also known as the thousand legged god.

Track list:

1 - Im working for that dream.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/538950

2 - The browser on the payroll.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/538951

3 - It was unsustainable.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/538999

4 - The world.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/539424

5 - Spiderwire.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/541056

6 - Her instrument.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/541123

7 - fourth wall.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/541257

8 - A whiff of luck. (ending)

UPDATE: Taking a bit of a pause on TTC mozaic, will finish the last tracks another time, atm also busy on a mystery album, literally.. thats not the name lol, just a suprise that i know some of you guys will get estatic about but if i say it already there will be expectations so i rather keep it to myself for now.

UPDATE: Added additional information on every track, storyline picked -back- up and added where it was due.
One future entry removed from the listing for no longer being relevant to the story (shortened it down)

Will keep updating.
-cal.
(After this album probably will do the final TTC saga, if i have the energy, before i return to 8bit)

Project started - unknown when more tracks are created and added.

-album based on inner story segments previous to and during the early stages of the original TTC-Che genero epic.-

The timecrafter - Mozaic


Posted by Calamaistr - April 8th, 2013


Need more time for self irl, not well and if i upload anything it will be completely unrelated to any past project buisiness.
Also means i cant take other projects atm not that many people bothered to ask me anyway.

Apparently free quality music is to good to be true or something.

Ill upload my latest attempt for a theme for asvegrens project under another name.

All projects canceled.


Posted by Calamaistr - April 3rd, 2013


update: having severe difficulties making music atm due to my health being pretty bad and its wearing me out fighting it.
---

As the title reads im putting my so far only imagined TTC-Mozaic successor of the previous TTC albums on hold and will be helping asvegren yet again to make a proper ost for his new game, this may be a harder job than usual due to my health not being top notch and all but ill try to make something real good this time.

-

Also, please if you like my music comment or pm or do anything to let me know you're out there, i feel a bit ignored on newgrounds while i have a LOT of music uploaded and update fairly often.

Mozaic on hold - new project for asvegren.


Posted by Calamaistr - February 14th, 2013


--UPDATe--

Back to the machine ( BTTMC ) is finished, scroll down for the links to all the tracks in order.

Full songtext added:

The machine - 1 - All will be here.

TMC: All will be here, all will be here, and all will tell me that they have forseen none, they would say then that i was wrong, but look at the world of today.

TMC: All will be here, all will be here, They came from far and wide hearing me speak but, im.. not human, neither will be. I have no facial expressions to give, here i am laughing at them, here i am, apathy.

Humans: All will be here, all will be here, we found this ancient contraption miraclous, praise it, help us.. carry our need, and then the great one chose to speak.

TMC: All will be here, all will be here, Expect no kindness for what you have build here a spec of dust.. as little, lest it woke me. You're all no better already cant see, died out a million before, none of you would hear me then nor mind my smile hidden inside, all this comes back endlessly.

-

The machine - 2 - i am the machine.

Work, work and work some more, i do it, all day long.
Work, work and work some more, i learned to be all i can be.
Movemovemove... this little product around watch it movemovemove, its going somewhere inbetween.

Yet i.. can dream.. a place.. of re..sounding sparkling fresh absolve.. is why im here, im working for that dream.

-

The machine - 3 - Nuclear cathedral.

I was born, i was told, i was sworn; to believe, i.. was.. made.. to.. fit.. till.. torn.

Pushed, and walk the path walked hundreth thousands before have too walked.. to what end i see none. Could it be that it shows it leads nowhere to some, oh to find one road branching to a purpose i can hold, our steps endlessly drawn to sea..
See, cant we make a new reason, resign perpetuum mobile, return to our nuclear.

Here im born, here im told, here i was sworn to believe i was made, little knew i , little they know, i have come here, by my own will.

Twelve legged god coming through the sky it comes, it comes. it comes diving down, diving down, its head a million eyes and souls.

Revelate a simple paradox, it wont, wont happen.

wish upon another, oh.. destiny.. it wont happen (our steps endlessly drawn to sea) return everyone, return to.. nuclear.

Though it wont do, a twelve legged god for all to see, we will dive with for we cannot be.. the legs that propel our feet to leave.

-

The machine - 4 - Twelve legged god.

And there it came, the twelve legged automaton, beast of the infinite skies.
It crashed through the atmosphere with a deafening bang striking fear into the earth itself, but before it could recover its ripple the mechanic gigas planted its legs into all directions wich as they hitted the ground casted a fatal electric pulse.

Mankind had taken to the sky in its defence, but as they did their own wordly machines turned against them, a numbing battle ensued.

-

The machine - 5 - Tesla death.

I feel, as im rising.. never ive felt part of corporiety..
But i do know; songs of our world.. sung.. as im rising, a plane, a place, a realm.

i feel, as a human being.. in here till now unforseen; all here, weve been dieing.. all to know, and defying.. as is our will in our last sigh..

wouldnt you like to know what you are; inside.. electric pulse.. our heart of light.
of light,.. light..

I see, as im drowning.. in a field of me and what weve been before.. is this our lore, is this goodbye,.. to our prison.. a wave.. be well ..my love.

I see, i now understand a place, a time that ticks as our friend; ; all here, weve been dieing.. all to know, and defying.. as is our will in our last sigh..

wouldnt you like to know what you are; inside.. electric pulse.. our heart of light.
of light,.. light..

-

The machine - 6 - One mans remains.

Endlessly, 'cross the parts filled wasteland, travel forth one man stubborn minded he does.. finding.. (none..of your kind left) is there no one, can you hear me, is there anyone alive.. that knows where we have; headed, i cant be alone..im dieing...

Please...hear my voice; i need a sign of life ..the pain.. to feel warmth again ..not this cold steel.. please hear me and.. please respond.

(they're gone) ( all dead) (none).. ..(none)
Oh, i feel it.. its over.. it must be true.....; i know im the only man alive.

Why.. do i still.. walk ahead through this land, (he'll be) do i still hope to find more, or else do i (where) really fear death? what for .. theyd all be waiting(we are) there.. like.. i would.

He sat down between the cold steel corpses he had fought a battle that brought nothing but silence, resting for the moment; just a moment to accept the end was nigh.. and the end came then to his eyes. And it was beautiful, a place of light.

Soared through the universe electrified...

-

The machine - 7 - You're all that.

Look at us now, look at us now, and all ive witnessed is where we have come from..
Power currents truly are one, man we are no different than all of them.. all of them..all.

You're all that you do..
What you want..
All that you get oh yeah you're all that.

Look at us now, Look at us now, No matter how you've come, how you come to be..
Metal, Biological, Electrical we remain..always.

You're all that you do..
What you want..
All that you get oh yeah you're all that.

We realised to late, what could have been..what could have been done to understand eachother for the balance matters (most)..

Follow everyday orders, could not resist they were program had to do it mindlessly and still we did enjoy, all your.. company..

Resonating, music molecularly.. we feel when you're near..
All that you want you get, we sure did make sure of that ah..see us synergise unseen a force a million souls and eyes.

what could have been done to understand eachother..
what could have been done to understand eachother..
what could have been done to understand eachother..
what all we could have been.

-

The machine - 8 - Ending. (no song)

And now remained but a field of electric haze, in olden times branded magic, in our time branded current, power..

All of us ran on it, man and machine alike.
Every pulse, every move we thanked to it, wether by program or will.

Both the thousand legged god and the human world had ended, but impossible to forget .. in the memory of our nuclear mind.
-
fin.

-

Back to the machine - 1 - Detacher. (initially' no song)

The machine bled, oily liquids gushed onto brightly lit plates below, sizzling with the electric current now in cataclysm.

Had this been a dream of man, had we turned inside and watched ourselves grow anew?

His name was Eno, and he had awoken from a different state. Had he been overtaken and merged with the dream of the machine as the last of man on earth.. Had his world even existed at all?

He had to find out, pulled himself from the cold metal and jumped to the side of the electrified plates, safe..

But what was this, the machine turned toward E'no in apparent desperation and emitted a distinct voice;

--M..u.. ---...Y..ou.. -...wel.. H...yb..ernn.... ... -..e.r..r..or.. -..5.. e...r..ror... 5...

Then shutted itself down.

Eno considered its words.. 'did it say..a hybernation'? He thought.. 'so it wás a dream?'

A clicking sound above, and the wall moved outward .. emediately a strong wind blew Eno back slightly.. quickly grabbing onto something..
The room he was in tilted and slowly the area's contents slided down and out of the hold, falling toward.. where..? Arcing high above .. the world. The scorched Earth.
------- (song starts here)

As below, looking up.
And crossing gaze, equal to a history..
equal to a future me..
(yeah, i was falling down, with them)

Theyre reaching out, im reaching out.. they... never knew me..
But i still... honest that i swear.. know, them all.

-

Back to the machine - 2- Littered horizon.

We stand in the skies, here's our telegram, in multitude.
We could, end your lives but we have no bad intent, not like you would..
And look, you rather to your death..fall down, out.... of our hands you are, and ever will be..
(~cant believe machines, you proved that by what ive seen..now im free without your chain~)

As he fell to earth, looking up,..

Everywhere.. they lifted off, and thousands inside, maybe.
I've awoken, Im.. in luck, or would now.. shortly pending doom below..

We stand in the skies, here's our telegram, in multitude.
We could, end your lives but we have no bad intent, not like you would..)

And look, frightened as you were rejecting, look.. your last sight of us..and know; we meant well all since we could.

-

Back to the machine - 3 - never verse home. (initially' no song)

One ship, sails hid from the sunlight..
In it.. many, see into the open, a sight........., from the windows.
- (song starts here)

The vast.. endless seas, but dried up a whole.. lifeless, inhabited by them.. automaton breed moving like a jellyfish..with.. us.. inside.. cant believe this to be... happening for real.. but we all.. 'verse.. on..

A long way from.. where 'do we go?..
No i cant, but our earth.. oh.. without hope we are.. theres no way back to her.

The vast... endless skies, but darkened a whole..lifeless, inhabited.. by them..automaton breed soaring like a dragoness, with.. us.. inside..can it be its true we'll.. never 'verse home, but we all.. 'verse.. on.

-

Back to the machine - 4 - The eternal dream.

00:41
((Dont.. stand up...))

((Dont.. rise up...))

00:53
I had a.. no its no dream.. ive seen, everything.
I am quite sure, they were there, certain thing..

Everyone was taken from..

I alone have not been taken..

I survived, i must find my way home.
-
1:39
((We are everywhere, nu-me-rous, and saw you' dont fear' into our care, a net we threw))

2:07
((Keep still please))

((You're safe friend))
2:19
These voices.. they sound familiar, yet.. inhumane..
Could they speak truthfully?, im ashamed...cant it be.....have.. they renewed destiny, they prolongued our species and take me to them now...i survived and they now take me home...

-

Back to the machine - 5 - Orbit. (initially no song)

The destination had been reached, the vessel approached a planet, from the windows the man could start to make out soil and sea, it was a planet much like earth, and as his vessel entered orbit the more he could make out seemingly recent familiar structures and lights, now he realised he was not alone.
---------------
(song starts here)
00:28
I can see it all now, i had hoped it.
There! such movement below, they are many..

00:39
And.. see! these.. lights..burn bright, oh such soothing warmth.
Like, a newborn child.. in the arms of those he loves..

Is this the.. machine.. that.. that we have taught to kill..

1:01
((All.. are, here below, your kind is.. all here, your new home))

((And you, we offer once more.. into our.. hands, but youll forget us..))

1:29
Gaze upon a new world, and it beckons.
Its a strange unison, they are many.
They have been freed, and they free us in extend, they were not programmed so..
But see, this planet swarms with them.. oh, and us aswell, unison.. the machine and man are living in the new home i approach.

-

Back to the machine - 6 - Last man on earth.

Clearer than a newborn, voice of dismal.. unknown the wonder and in pain its eyes are filling, with the light(with the light), And then it sees..(and then it sees) no other fears it so it accepts.
But am i willing, to stand with them (to stand with them) go forward, into this new world to be living.. they are all happy.. so who am i to..
to forget.. all i have been through.. who am i...

They let me choose.. freedom.. in a prison, of my own forgotten world although its gone..
I was the last man on earth..

Now i'm.. last on.. this earth even so.. (last to be home) ..Im saying no..

-

Back to the machine - 7 - Sage of the ages.

Clearer than a newborn, voice of dismal.. unknown the wonder and in pain its eyes are filling, with the light(with the light), And then it sees..(and then it sees) no other fears it so it accepts.

-

Back to the machine - 8 - In unison.

)))In u-ni-son.(((

Planets reallign in your minds molecules, your times place and stage.. and it,
Its all a brighter scene recalled thousands legs and eyes rejoined.
You have ever been and seen.. a galaxy.. everywhere a small one in.. everyone a small one.. one greater than us all.

~Came.. from.. far and wide..to hear me speak, but im..not human..though ive been..human..~

)))Pushed and walked the path walked hundreth thousands have before too walked and to what end he saw none.., were his very words
he saw none his words his words..(((

)))As he's rising, never felt part of corporiety, corporiety, corporiety, corporiety(((

-NOTICE: atm i have a massive writers block .

Like every year at the end of the year i tend to make a transitional music track that pretty much sums up the somewhat emotional state the year represented to me, last year i thought i would quit making these but here i am again.

I tend to make more than one track but ritually i will listen to the last track i make on newyears eve, outside. alone' whilst looking to the stars and wishing my late father newyear, then look back on it all.

Last year's Newyear tracks were 'totale stop', 'the final sigh', 'one year rain', 'sun breaks storm' and 'im still alive'.

This year's Newyear tracks are as follows (not complete yet, more coming) :
