The million year old blog
28 Aug
I’ve decided to start a new log for this part of the report, since the comments are already showing signs of difficulty while loading, and I think we still have a lot to talk about.
At this point in the show we had a bit of a change of directions. Next demo to go on the big screen was different from so many aspects compared to what we had seen up to that point. O Kyklos Tis Zwis [The Circle of Life] by Dragonil was the show’s only flash demo, which was also the representative of a rather different style of demos. If you’re reading this and you haven’t seen this demo yet…..I have a warning for you. A very serious one that is. Ladies and Gentlemen, this demo successfully broke my heart to a thousand and one pieces, and believe you me, it will do the same to yours. It didn’t just impress me, it actually made me cry. Yes. Honestly. Twice. And hey, I’m not exactly your example of an overly emotional person, and fortunately all the accusations of that sort were recently removed, thanks to the display crowd! They showed that it wasn’t just me; that this demo actually had something different about it. The amazing concept of this demo added to the cute graphics and the great music, makes this demo quite a memorable one, as I was told by the viewers.
Next came WHEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA ASD again! 😀
Dreamchild, another ASD masterpiece. I was told by some of the viewers that this demo was not meant to be watched for simple entertainment purposes. The comment was pretty interesting for me. I think we can all see why that is. => CONCEPT <=. This demo definitely has a lot to offer to apprehensive minds. Besides that, the visuals rule and don't even get me started on the music. Kudos to aMUSiC and Leviathan for doing it again. There's also some super Kudos to go to aMUSiC [again] and Amoivikos for the lyrics: I’m not a product of your dreams,
I’m not either injected into your fantasy
by some conspiracy or diabolic plot.
I was, I am and I will be
a part of your crystalite world.
Omnipresent, spreading my roots
deep into your nightmares.
I cannot be removed.
I am just there.
Because I am, none other..
than you!
You are a dream.
You are the whispering twilight,
shining into my world of illusion.
You are the warmth of my mortality,
A moment in time.
You seek after me.
You are forgetfulness,
but you are forgiveness also.
You are the child I wish I had been,
the innocence I could never recapture.
You wish to embrace me.
You are but the candle’s flicker,
yet you can set my heart ablaze.
You cried for me,
yet not one tear has reached me.
You need not despair.
You’ll be there still for me to long for.
For you to be reflected,
into the stare of my loving eyes.
For you to be dreamt of.
For you..
am I.

:S Apparently there’s something wrong with blogger…the loading problem remains.
circle of life got me there too, don’t worry! 🙂
and I do believe that there’s alot more to dream child than meets the eye.
ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh sooooo cute! The little guy ouch ouch ouch that was so neat. I loved circle of life and I don’t even have to tell you how much I loved the dream child.
Was that “twice” before the show day or including? 😉
But like Eddie said, no worries. It got big scary engie guys, of course it should get you. 🙂
Forgot to mention, count me in for the dream child fan club too.
On a completely off topic, I LOVED THAT BUTTERFLY ON YOUR HAIR! 🙂
Circle of Life made me wanna laugh and cry at the same time. It was the complete conflict of emotions. It was incredible.
Dream Child got me thinking. About a lot of things. The music certainly ruled. Great job aMUSiC and Leviathan.
Hey is the the fan page for aMUSIC and Leviathan?
Yeah pretty much.
“I am You” is INCREDIBLE.
The cutest flash clip of all time is the Dragonil demo. It’s just the best. It does make one fall into tears.

OMFG Dream Child is out of this universe! The gfx kicks bott, that blue wave thingie is crazy. The soundtrack is a total killer! Amsic and Leviathan are Gods.
Circle of life broke my heart too. It left me with tears in my eyes.
BTW I just checked the aMUSiC+Leviathan last.fm page, and from there I found my way to your own page. Seems you have some aMUSiC tracks that I don’t. I want those please? 😀
Also appears that you have a new favorite. What’s with that?
Hey peeps, the problem with the comment thingie is solved now. Sorry if I’ve missed any of your comments, re-post please.
Adam: Who new fave?
Ah! I think I know which he’s talking about. 😉
Anyway, I couldn’t vote for the logo, looks like you have to have a min of 100 tracks for that.
wow for the lyrics! I couldn’t understand them while watching the demo but now that I read them…darn good!
auooohh *tears* *tears* *tears* *and some more tears* oh my god! I really would like to know who this “Dragonil” is. I didn’t get the chance to look at everyone but my whole row was drawning! Circle of life was so beautiful, aahh…
*sniff sniffff* I know what you man! Oh man… both of these demos make you think. Awesome work both.
LOL I love the screen shot!
You are quite right, the circle of life was actually very very different than the other.
And what can I say, ASD demos are all on the top. ASD rules the world!
I DIGG the soundtrack for dreamchild. I’m the biggest “I am you” fan there is. Yes I am.
Ok…perhaps after Aasemoon.
Darn that sound track rocks my world so hard I need hangover pills.
btw I wanted to vote too but the same problem.
hey, I just wanted to second (or third or..) jako’s request for legomania shots. Thank you. ^_^
also I really enjoyed the show, and I loved all the demos including the 2 you are discussing right now.
also, I’m a big fan of yourself!
Peter, sure I’ll post the shots ASAP. 🙂 And thank you, and I’m really glad that your were there and enjoyed the show. 🙂
So basically say what you gotta say about these people, we’re about to move on! 😉
LOOTS OF LOVE for both ASD and Dragonil. You guys are true artists.
No can vote either. I’m not even a member! :S
I’ve never seen a flash clip that I’ve liked this much before. I didn’t even know that they make demos with flash. Anyway, it’s super cool. The ASD demo was also as expected. Kick ass!
Here’s another member of the Leviathan aMUSIC fan club. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
Great music, great lyrics, great animation. Dream child is supre.
Circle of life did give me sniffs too.
I want a doll figure of that circle of life character. Can we do that? Please? 😀
Ahem….if they existed…I would have gotten myself a half a dozen… 😛
Or more.
Yeah, probably more.
Definitely more!
(The little guy kind of looks like your emoticon pendant!)
Dragonil has done a hell of a job putting a concept like that into a 5 min (or so) flash animation. Deserves a whole bunch of kudos.
As for the ASD demo, like everyone has already mentioned, the music is top-notch work of art, and the concept is deep and full.
Everything that Rene said. 🙂
There’s still just 1 vote…
Somebody go vote! I can’t believe that out of all people who visit this place not a single one of them is a pro last.fm user! :S
Dragonil’s name is “Ilias Sounas” and he’s a greek guy as well (even though we’ve never met him in person).
He released this in Pixelshow (the greek party where the third part of the “for the masses” trilogy was released) and we were all flaberghasted. (sp?)
aMUSiC/ASD
aMUSiC thanks a lot for the info. 🙂 This guy is certainly a genius….
Dragonil’s demo is absolutely phenomenal.
