The Music of the Lands of Dream – Part I

Here’s an update from Chris Christodoulou, the amazingly talented composer of The Sea Will Claim Everything and now Ithaka of the Clouds: Hi, I don’t believe we have met before. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Chris and I’m your travel age— sorry, I mean I’m the composer of Ithaka of the Clouds. Some of [...]

Hymn

Εγώ που κάνω όνειρα κι έχω πολλά ωραία να χάσω κάνω και την αρχή — δε γουστάρω να ησυχάσω. Τι άλλο φοβάσαι, πες μου, και θα γίνω κι ας έχω τόσα πολλά κι ωραία να χάσω. Κι ούτε στιγμή μη ρωτάς τι θα απογίνω, μου φτάνει που δε γουστάρω να ησυχάσω I wish this song’s [...]

Merry Christmas

I don’t worship magical trees myself, but this song is so very beautiful, it’s always worth posting again. So is my other favourite Christmas song: Merry Magic Tree Day, humans!

Nursery Rhyme of Innocence and Experience

I was drawn to this song because of the Blakean title and because I adore Natalie Merchant’s cover of Which Side Are You On. Turns out it’s quite spellbinding.

The Guillotine

This is a new song by The Coup. Verena wrote about death. Did you see the new Oneiropolis Compendium entry? It’s about Chelonian Hill. New posts coming soon: info about big new project, various articles, and a new (short) freeware game. Exciting times ahead.  

So Much To Say

There’s a lot to say – about Greenlight, future projects, privilege in the games industry… all kinds of things, really. And I’ll start writing about all that tomorrow. (There’s also an episode of The Starving Artists’ Kitchen that is ready, but which I realized at the last moment contains a typo. Grrr.) But right now [...]

The Tide Is Turning

And now for something less depressing and irritating than racism – a beautiful, inspiring song by Roger Waters. I don’t know if the tide is turning yet, but I hope it will.

The Music Holds It Together

There’s another lovely review of The Sea Will Claim Everything over at Mash Those Buttons. I was particularly happy about this part: Once the music hits you, I’m not sure how much you’ll care about the game’s setbacks any more. The music is the core of this game, the piece that holds everything together. Chris [...]

Thalassografia

The week since the release of the bundle has been full of disasters of various proportions – the cat has a bladder stone, I had a blocked salivary gland, Verena got hit by a car – but we’re all still here, and doing our best to keep being here. I’ll have proper updates for you [...]

Voices, That’s All

Today was my birthday, but I spent most of it (about 12 hours) working on The Sea Will Claim Everything. Tomorrow I put in some final details, and it’s done. But to be honest at this point I am just exhausted, so here’s a beautiful and soothing song from a CD that was one of [...]
