Ad Dictum piano

Tämä on luultavasti teknisin kappale, mitä olen säveltänyt (ja onnistuneesti äänittänyt). Videointiakin on tulossa. Alkuperäissuunnitelmissani oli myös tehdä kokonainen sovitus mm. bassojen ja ohjelmoitujen rumpujen kanssa. Kuitenkin, vaikka sain äänitettyä kaiken, huomasin että pianoraita luo kappaleeseen “Periphery-syndroomaa” tehden kokonaisuudesta liian ähkyn. Tapauksessani piano muutenkin jakaa samoja kuvioita muiden instrumenttien kanssa. Joten, täytynee tehdä pianon päämelodioita korvaamaan vaikka jokin elektroninen saundi. Kesän olosuhteet huomioiden tässä voi mennä aikaa. Pianoäänite on joka tapauksessa valmis. (Laitoin sen P-B albumille, varmaan lähempänä klassista kuin jazzia…)


This is probably the most advanced song so far I’ve composed (and succesfully recorded). Videos are incoming as well. My original plans were also to make a complete arrangement with bass, programmed drums etc. As I recorded everything, I noticed that the piano creates “Periphery-syndrome”: the complete arrangement becomes a bit overstuffed. In my case it shares some of the patterns with other instruments. So, I probably have to do some electronic sounds replacing only the main piano melodies. However, this might take some time considering my summer circumstances. All in all, piano recording is ready anyway. (I put it in album P-B, I guess it’s more classical than jazz…)

Modus: Simulations (alpha 0.1)

GMS-aihe suomeksi

This is the first actual game about Modus. It’s still in a very beginning and has a lots of bugs and stuff to do (for example animations to characters). For now Modus: Simulations has only a battle mode which is an experimental RT-strategy action or something like that. You control a single unit and command many units at the same time. You conquer towers, earn money and make more units by pressing green blocks. There are many options in the menu to set a different match. Try different setups and have fun.

WASD move
Mouse aims, wheel changes the attack or command
Left mouse attacks (boomerang or change playable unit, melee, bomb, ranged)
Right mouse commands (empties commands, send unit somewhere, follow player, destroy unit…)
Shift, when pressed you can choose between commands (without pressed it chooses the attack)
R restarts the game and esc ends it at the main menu

DOWNLOAD

EDIT: The game became 3rd at the GMS forum community contest.

Octabitium

Nyt se on ulkona! Ensimmäinen virallinen julkaisu AeroMoonsilta (entinen ExAMone). Se on Parus Aero ja Moons of Jupiter sooloprojektien yhdistelmä. Muitakin kipaleita on jossain, mutta progressiivinen kasibittirock-albumi on varmaan ihan hyvä alku kaiken kaikkiaan. Lisätietoa ja itse albumi löytynee vanhasta kunnon bandcampista.

______________________________

Now it’s out! The first official release of AeroMoons (formerly ExAMone). It’s a combination of solo projects by Parus Aero and Moons of Jupiter. There’s other songs around as well but a progressive chiptune rock album is a good way to start it once and for all. Additional information and the album itself can be found on good olde bandcamp.

Drowned (8-bit)

Tämä sävellys oli tehty jossain 2009 tienoilla. Se oli ensimmäisiä sävellyksiä, joita on tehty pääasiassa pianolla improvisoiden (sitä ennen sävelsin enemmän softilla).

Kokeilin myös soitella uudella 8-bitti rumpusetilläni, jonka tein Hydrogeniin. Se ei ole vielä valmis, mutta julkaisen sen piakkoin. Tämä on myös ensimmäinen äänite uudella Alesis io|2 interfacellani. Kaikki syntetisointi on tehty VA-syna Korg R3:lla. En ole varma, oliko latenssiongelmia rumpuraitaa soittaessa, mutta pitänee ohjelmoida koko homma seuraavan kerran, kun tekee chiptunemusaa.

This composition was made somewhere in 2009. It was one of those first compositions which were composed mostly by improvising with piano (before that I composed mostly with software).

I also tried to play my new 8-bit drum kit that I’ve made for Hydrogen. It’s not ready yet but I’ll publish it soon. This is also the first recording with my new Alesis io|2 interface. All the synthesizing is made with VA-synth Korg R3. I’m not sure was there latency issues at playing drum track but next time I probably should program all the way when making chip-tune music.

Deserted

Eräs ExAMone projektin merkittävimmistä kappaleista on 2011 valmistunut Deserted. Tyyliltään kappale käy läpi monenlaisia sfäärejä ambientista progressiiviseen metalliin. Myös biisin kuvitus on ollut tärkeä etappi digitaalisen maalaamiseni polulla.

A song Deserted what was finished in 2011, is one of the most notable songs of ExAMone project. The song goes through different spheres from ambient to progressive metal. Artwork of the song is also important milestone in my path of digital painting.

Ja itse biisi. | And the song:

11. The Crow

D-Daysin viimeinen. Tämä kappale valmistui hieman myöhemmin, joten se ei päässyt demon julkaisupäivään (8.8.)

Last one of the D-Days. This song completed a bit later so it didn’t make up to the demo’s publish day (8.8.)

Sanat/lyrics:
The all-seeing crow
I see behind the window
Never watches below
Never bows to the crowd
Silent and still
On the top of the tree
Purposive and free
Do I feel?

In the middle of everything
Interaction around
Still can’t hear the sound
Inside nothing
Nowhere to go
No-one will concern
I have to turn
Do I know?

The truth gives wings look for the sun where to fly
Because loneliness stings up in the sky
But stars are brighter, brighter than ever
The meaning gets lighter and the crow(d) disappears

I feel I can’t, I feel
I know, the way is right, I know

Fly to the darkness onwards surrounded by sky of stars
Thousand suns to overreach, thousand ways to burn each
Justification to exist without vanishing in the frost mist

In skyscrapers we seek truths blindly mystifying our roots
They’re like shadows in the night, stars in the daylight
Next floor, slaves obey. When windows crash, breaks the day.

The crow takes steps on the clouds
Aims its dark star-flight
To the nearest light
Head in high, feet on the grounds
At the highest skies
Nothing feels right
Still, the darkest night
Precedes the sunrise

9. W17

W17 on semivanha pianosävellys, joka muuttuikin kokeelliseksi ambientiksi demoalbumi “D-Daysin” äänityksissä.

W17 is semi-old piano composition that turned into a experimental ambient song in recordings of demoalbum “D-Days”.

6. Jellyfish

Hyytelökaloja syvällä meressä, jee. Tämä 11/8 tahtilajin kappale päätyi mölykokeiluksi.

Jellyfishies in deep sea, yeay. This 11/8 -time signature song ended to a noise-experimentation.

5. Daylight

Atmospheric thingie.

Atmosfäärinen juttu.

Sanat/lyrics:

yesterDAY
toDAY light
Moral, show the right
groundFLOOR
topFLOOR same white
Theory, enlighten me

Regret those moments of your life
Secret you still keep inside
Neglect to look in the eyes
Duet of the last line

Won’t you ever find things beyond your mind?
Leave it all behind in these times, kind

yesterDAY
toDAY light
Moral, show the right
groundFLOOR
topFLOOR same white
Theory, enlighten me

Murder

“Murder” on eräs nopeasti kyhäilty doom metal kokeilu. Projekti on myös ensimmäinen Linuxilla valmiiksi saatu kyhäelmä musiikkia ja artworkkia myöten. Growl-lauluakaakan ei ole aiemmin kokeiltu.

“Murder” is a momentarily compiled doom metal experiment. The project (music, artwork etc.) is also the first work made with Linux. Growl singing is neither tried before.

Lyrics/sanat (by Aaro):
Burn out… slowly
Die away… hopefully

No reason to justify life based on a lie
Desire… Deceased
Competition… MURDER

Self-immolation
Lost revolution

End the usury, end our misery!
Desire… Deceased
Competition… MURDER
Murder artwork
