In the second half of the 00s, the game “Rise Of Antares” was released for mobile phones on the Java platform in the genre of a turn-based space strategy like a copy of “Master Of Orion”, where the user founded colonies on the stars, fought with enemies and developed technologies. I made a cover version of the soundtrack from this game, adding a guitar and changing the drum pattern a little.

Rise Of Antares

The track "Map checking" is the main key in the album "Origins Of Fantasium". It is the musical embodiment of the largest and most mysterious location in Fantasium, in the depths of which portals to the far corners of the Universe are concentrated. We are talking about a legendary place called the “Singular Abyss” – a central point for communicating with distant galaxies through black holes spread throughout space.

As ancient legends say, in this abyss the creators of the world deployed a compressed version of an exact copy of the entire Universe, updated in real time. The island, using sound waves, navigates and controls this epic space. And he is helped in this by a sound card, on which every smallest speck of dust in the Universe is recorded.

The track depicts one of the moments when Fantasium conducts a routine check of the sound map of the Singular Abyss, making sure that each segment is relevant and accurate. In addition, during its verification, every movement and change in this stellar labyrinth is monitored.

Thus, after each check, the entire Universe lies in the palm of Fantasium’s hands, like an ancient and memorized manuscript in the strong hands of a great wizard who performs the same sacred ritual over and over again.

“Map checking” is a mystery track that is difficult to penetrate due to the depth of its significance and mystery. And this was done quite consciously, so that only a worthy mind could touch the universal network and be imbued with its life-giving harmony.

The musical composition is reminiscent of elements from the magical rites of ancient civilizations – after all, they knew much more about the island of Fantasium than the modern inhabitants of this planet, who literally have amazing magical metamorphoses of galactic proportions taking place unnoticed under their noses.

Vibrations from the sound frequencies of the composition carry access codes to the far corners of space. It is these vibrations that form a complex sound map, with the help of which Fantasium controls not just the physical elements of his Singular Abyss, but also time loops, which makes him a true guardian of time and space.

The composition is saturated with echoic vibrations, which scatter with invisible streams of energy throughout the entire space at the speed of magic, creating an aural background reflecting the depth of the Singular Abyss. Harmonious inclusions of mystical sounds in this space are transformed into mesmerizing cascades that seem to be the voices of distant stars.
The island needs all this to “ring” its abyss, as a result of which the ultra-precise sound map is updated.
As the track progresses, listeners can hear subtle yet clear droplets of sounds that are crystalline markers in this cosmic symphony. They are like markers on a map indicating important points in the structure of the Singular Abyss when collecting data.
In the final part of the track, the sound waves gradually fade away, leaving behind the echo of a successful sound card check. It confirms that the island is a reliable keeper of cosmic secrets, which is ready for new challenges in managing the cosmic order. This work is the key to understanding how Fantasium, through sound vibrations, maintains communication between all elements of the Universe.
Each sound in this track symbolizes the complex and sophisticated system of magical sound signals through which the island communicates through black holes with other galaxies.
Thus, the task of this composition is to tell listeners about the scale and grandeur of the work of the island, which tirelessly maintains order in the multidimensional world, using sound as the main means of control and navigation in the space-time continuum.
What else do you think is hidden in these sounds? What secrets can they reveal?
This is not just a track, this is your invitation to become part of something truly great. And who knows, maybe you will be the one to hear and feel what has escaped the attention of others.

Fantasy Island, possessing its own mind and cosmic wisdom, begins to study the new inhabitants of this planet, who were settled here, by its standards, quite recently – people. With the help of sound vibrations that permeate this world, he listens and studies the actions and sensations of each person.
In its unique soundscapes and musical motifs, the island reflects this process, which can be compared to “tapping” for strength and “ringing” for integrity and reliability.

Each sound in its melodic vibrations can symbolize different aspects of this interaction: from cautious initial contact to attempts to imitate human speech or emotions, like a Predator analyzing and adapting to its victims. However, in the case of Fantasium, the goal is not hunting, but deep learning and perhaps creating a bridge between humanity and the ancient magical essence of the island.

In the track "Human Probe", the music includes elements that imitate human speech and components of the musical culture of these creatures, turning it into a rhythmic, enticing composition. With this, Fantasium demonstrates tentative attempts to “speak” the language of its future guests, taking the first step into an exciting and exciting sound journey into the dark depths of the human subconscious.

Thus, the track becomes not just a musical composition, but a historical moment in the life of humanity, when Fantasium first makes contact with people in order to assess their true development potential, deliberately blocked and limited by external forces.

What are these external forces and how to remove the limitations, unlocking our superpowers hidden within us – this is the most important and intriguing question that is raised in the track "Human Probe".
Who are the lucky people that Fantasium will choose as its first contactees?
How will he interact with these individuals and what abilities will he give them to explore the transcendental potential of human beings?
Are they ready to become part of his world, discover their secret abilities and enter into deep contact with the entity that rules the stars?

The answers to these and other questions will soon become available to us – the island of Fantasium opens the door on its side and invites the lucky ones to set foot on its land, having learned the universal wisdom and feeling the almighty galactic forces with every cell of their body.

Use the composition "Human Probe" to attract the attention of Fantasium and become the chosen one!
Listen carefully to the vibrations and try to feel the call of the island – it will tell you the right path to the cherished Gate, upon entering which you will receive what people were settled on this planet for.
But are you ready to touch these secrets and use the power given to you for the benefit of all humanity?

Human Probe

01-6 Human Probe

Fantasium, a mystical island, hides in its depths the deep secrets of powerful civilizations that once chose the path of Darkness and were destroyed by its mighty forces. These ancient peoples were imbued with dark magic, and their uncontrollable desire to manipulate the laws of nature led to catastrophic consequences, threatening the very existence of the Galaxies where they lived. Fantasium, acting as an impartial judge, absorbed the destructive forces of these civilizations, turning their defeat into its own strengthening.

With each dark essence absorbed, the island strengthened, sealing in its depths powerful artifacts and knowledge collected from different parts of the Universe.

Surprisingly, the Fantasium has become a concentrate of the forces of Evil, storing in its depths its most powerful tools: ancient spells, manipulation of reality, and possibilities unattainable for ordinary mortals. Having formed from them a concentrate of pure Darkness, it is not only a repository of magical secrets and forbidden abilities, but also a potential threat to the entire world.

This gives rise to logical questions: is Fantasium itself capable of taking the side of Evil, using the transcendental power that is hidden in the dark matter of its Singular Abyss? What is the purpose of storing such power? And can the island, which once became a shield from destruction, itself become an instrument of the apocalypse?

These questions leave in the air an uneasy premonition of an inevitable conversation with the Darkness, which could change the fate of the entire Universe.


However, the truth always lies on the surface and the answers to troubling questions are obvious to cold-blooded observers.

Fantasium maintains balance and does not give in to the temptation to choose the side of Light or Darkness. The island understands that any extreme inevitably leads to destruction. Therefore, he controls the pulsations of the energies of dark and light forces, which allows him to maintain stability on a global scale and ensure infinitely long life and prosperity for all living things.

He has collected powerful dark energies from all over the Universe in his depths and uses his enormous potential of dark forces as a defense mechanism. The island quickly identifies and neutralizes threats, maintaining balance in the universe and preventing chaos.

Why is it so important for listeners to hear and comprehend the composition "D(ark)EVIL" from the album "Origins Of Fantasium"?

Firstly, Fantasy gives the opportunity to strong individuals who know how to recognize and understand the influence of dark forces on themselves, to use this power to achieve their goals. This allows them to effectively and quickly find solutions, using opportunities hidden from most people. The island does not interfere with such chosen ones in their actions and serves as a strict but wise mentor for them.

Secondly, the island once again demonstrates its ability to maintain order and justice on its territory. This is especially important, as it shows that even with the enormous destructive power of “black” matter, you can remain a reliable and safe guardian.

Thirdly, Fantasium provides a long-awaited chance for those who have unwittingly found themselves on the dark side and are looking for redemption. The island does not just test people, but helps them adjust their balance towards the Light, showing that it is possible to rewrite and control their destiny at any moment.

He teaches that it is never too late to start a new life, and that every step towards the manifestation of the Light is important, regardless of previous mistakes.
This opportunity is especially important for each of us: to learn to transform our fears and weaknesses into strength and wisdom.

I made this track a bit heavier by replacing the keys and synths with distorted guitars. I sang it as it turned out, in one take, without preparation (I am not a professional vocalist).
For the 20th anniversary of the original. I really like that song and it's really cool.

Welcome to the forge of Fantasium, traveler!

The world around you is crumbling like old metal that has been bent, pulled, and tried to adapt to life on this masterfully designed planet for too long.
Everything that once seemed stable is now cracking, one after another.
But what if I told you that this is just the beginning? The beginning of your great journey?

Welcome to my forge of choice!

Nothing is accidental on this island, and your arrival here is no coincidence. Fantasium is watching you. I see your potential. Metal that is waiting to be cleansed of the layers of the past and forged into a meaningful and effective tool of the Creator.

Here, everyone who is ready for change acquires the tools to forge their new life. This is not a place for illusions or magic - here are the sound frequencies that shape the true you and your iron will.

There is already an understanding within you: in order to move forward, you need to free yourself from what no longer works. You are here to make a new choice.

A special process is taking place in my forge - transformation. Do not be afraid of this word. This process is clear and completely under your control. It is a natural continuation of your life's path.

* * * * *

New metal, new core, new life. Choose Again.

The composition "Choose Again" is not music for entertainment. These are your frequencies of transformation. They will sequentially launch 4 stages.

If you make the right choice, you will become aware of your fears, doubts and pains that deprive you of strength and joy in life. Like a jewelry cutter, the sound frequencies that you will carry within you will cut off what has long become an unbearable burden for you.
After which they will set the foundation for your new "I". This is not a mythical update, but a setting of your state carried out by intelligent forces, which is required for the effective performance of tasks in the new world.

Imagine that you are metal. Worn out, with cracks and corrosion, with an exhausted tensile strength, having lost its plasticity and former shine.
But if it is melted down, impurities are removed and tempered, in competent hands it will become a powerful and durable tool, ready for any tests.
The blacksmith of Fantasium is waiting for your decision.
The frequencies of the composition will prepare you for a new path, where you will no longer be a prisoner of a heavy burden and old mistakes.

* * * * *

The music of the track "Choose Again" is a sonic hammer, blacksmith's bellows and a sharp tool of a professional craftsman, which work in four stages to help you shed the old scales and forge a new core.

The first stage is the identification of shackles.
Just as the fire of a blacksmith cleans metal from impurities, the music of this part of the track reveals everything that hinders your new life. You will hear sharp sounds that shake you like hot metal ready to be processed. This stage allows you to see your chains that prevent you from breathing: these can be bad habits, difficult relationships, fears, or things that no longer give the desired result. You will see what exactly is pulling you back.

The second stage is preparation.
The music becomes softer, like a warm stream of air blowing over metal before hardening.
It prepares the material of your inner world for the next process. Just as metal is heated to make it pliable, so these sounds help to loosen old shackles, instill hope and confidence.
This is a moment of awareness: you will feel how the rhythm helps you focus on the main thing, gathering together the forces for transformation. The second stage is not destruction, but fine-tuning before the decisive step.
Like a snake preparing to shed its skin, you begin to feel that you no longer belong to the past.
