Creepy Carnival-GabberGhoul

* The swirls on Caliborn's cheeks turn fully green. A coat materializes itself onto the Cherub. They look down at their hands, clenching them into fists.

finally. i had been asleep for so long.

* She looks up at you, giving you a friendly smile.

CALLIOPE: hello! yoUr name is john, right?
CALLIOPE: thank yoU for calling my name. yoU awoke me from a deep slUmber.
CALLIOPE: i gUess yoU coUld say i was sleeping like the dead!
CALLIOPE: and now... i have another chance.
CALLIOPE: and all of this power my brother stole... with this i coUld...
CALLIOPE: i coUld rewrite the narrative. retcon everything he's done to it, set it all to zero.
CALLIOPE: ... yoU seem to not like that idea thoUgh. i'm sorry john, bUt for yoUr sake, yoU mUst let me do this.
CALLIOPE: i know that my class is UsUally the most passive of them, bUt please...

* In a bright flash, Calliope's clothes change. They look similar to Jades, with the symbol of space appearing on her shirt.

CALLIOPE: jUst sit back and let the me do this for everyone.

* The penumbra wanes.
> John: ACT > Check.
* Calliope - Muse of Space ∞ATK ∞DEF
* Phantasm awoken by your call.

Alpha And Beta

Plush Constellation

* You reached out into Calliope's aspect and called out to your friends.
* They're in there somewhere, right?
* ... Within the depths of Calliope's aspect, something is resonating..!

* You FREE them all.
* Kanaya. Meenah. Dave. Jade. Karkat. Equius.
* But there's still someone else to FREE from this acursed narrative.
* You call her name.

CALLIOPE: what? what are yoU doing?!

FREE Her Soul

* Long ago, two kingdoms fought for control over Skaia. A kingdom of Light and a kingdom of Dark.
* These kingdoms, Prospit and Derse, were in for a big surprise. All of a sudden, an egg had arrived on the battlefield, striped in Red and Green. The two kings, thoroughly confused in the midst of their battle, investigated the newfound object.
* The egg suddenly hatched right before them, and out came a baby Cherub. As the serpentine infant consumed the shell of its own egg, the two kings recognized it as the same species as their sleeping royals. They agreed to a ceasefire as they decided on how best to raise this infant.
* And so it would be that the male, named Caliborn, would be raised under the White King, with hopes that he could be taught morals and values. The Black King then would be the one to raise Calliope, the female of the two.
* Raising a Cherub is no easy task, for the infant had to be traded between kingdoms before it was their naptime. Once one child went to sleep, the other would awaken in their shared body. However, the Black King enjoyed Calliope's cheerfulness all the same.
* When the war between Light and Dark continued, the Kings would leave the Cherubs in the care of their Queens. And when they too were busy, it fell upon chosen agents. For Derse, this job was given to one Jack Noir.
* Jack at first seemed to hate his job. Just another ridiculous call from the higher ups. However, Calliope's radiant joy seemed to shine past even his dark carapace and into his heart.
* When the cherubs grew, and Caliborn tasked Jack with the job of slaying his sister's dreamself... He found himself unable to complete the task.
* Jack Noir... Archagent of Derse, notoriously known for his "stab first, ask questions later" mindset... unable to kill? It was preposterous to him. But he just couldn't find it in his heart to do so. Instead, he called upon the abilities of one of the many trolls in the session to put her into a deep, endless sleep.
* Jack eventually reported the news to Caliborn, lying about his sister's death. Caliborn, seeing no further use to Jack, slew him.
* And thus, the Princess of Prospit... the Muse of Space... Calliope... slept and dreamed... A dream she is now remembering.

CALLIOPE: what... did yoU do?

* In her dream, she saw a planet. A planet of green and blue. And on that planet, she saw a boy.

CALLIOPE: what are these memories..?

* The boy grew in care of a man. His father. The father was very proud of his son.

CALLIOPE: i don't Understand? why are yoU showing me this?

* The boy eventually grew into a young man. Before his thirteenth birthday, his father looked him in the eyes and told him something very important.

CALLIOPE: stop it! john, jUst let me do this for everyone! for yoU!

* "John. You have grown into such a fine young man. You don't let what anyone says keep you down."

CALLIOPE: can't yoU Understand why i'm doing this? why i keep fighting to rewrite the narrative?

* "You stand up for what you believe in, the right thing, no matter what."

CALLIOPE: i'm doing this becaUse i have to. this is my one chance to make sUre that i get my way after years of losing to my brother.

* "So keep on fighting, stay true to yourself."

CALLIOPE: i don't want ANYONE to sUffer any longer! Under my control, everyone's lives will be fUll of cheer and glee!

* "But most importantly, John..."

CALLIOPE: everyone will just go aboUt their day to day lives! free from any hatred or despair!

* "... don't let ANYONE have free reign over who you are."

CALLIOPE: so please... stop doing this... and just let me win!!!

* Calliope fires off her most powerful attack. You hang on tight and take the full brunt head on.
* You are weakened... but you are still hanging on. A memory is shared between the two of you.
* The man puts his hand on his son's shoulder, and the boy smiles back. The two embrace.

CALLIOPE: ... jack...

Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! (cover)

Live Recording 26/05/2025 @ Finistère

b2b hybrid live ( mixing tracks & dawless hardware : grooveboxes/sequencers, synths, fx...)

Work in progress. Part of the "HardKorrigans" liveset.

For this project I wanted to create something using the "calliope" instrument (and that's a really weird and, let's face it, shitty instrument) and the famous theme associated with the "circus atmosphere" : "Entry of the Gladiator"... and actually it had nothing to do with clowns originally.. 

Well. I have learned.. a lot.. about calliopes and that theme stuff.. in fact I'd say now that I learned way more than what should be considered  as "classic research" when starting a musical project..) and let me tell you a protip : when you have heard dozens of hours of calliope "music", I think your brain start to melt a bit..
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy the weird and dark carnival atmosphere in a bouncy tribe track :D

"A Taste for Killing" by Calliope remixed with "Yule Town" by Marcus Hedges (from the Ary and the Secret of Seasons soundtrack).

I hate to ask this, but I can't leave the food unattended. Would you mind? It really isn't far to the fisherman's hut. He lives just by the waterfall under the tower.

A Taste for Fish

Big up @tektheism! Check out the original track here:
https://tektheism.bandcamp.com/album/unreleased-unfinished

Made the mashup as a DJ tool to mix with another track featuring the colliope.

Yoko Kanno x Tektheist - Tekchikoma Swanpo (リジ mashup)

"You don't need to do anything. Be who you've become, and who I didn't. Consume the fruits of an existence I could never understand. Live."

I decided to make a short little theme for the scene where Calliope speaks to an alternate version of herself. I always loved that scene, and I always wished there was music to go with it.

It was my birthday yesterday. Bit late, but I'll call this my birthday upload anyway.

This is a dump for my original compositions.  Most of it will be unfinished.

Hello all. I am a musician, composer, and Thomas fan. This is the soundcloud page for my instrumental arrangements and scores.
Creators feel free to use my music in your videos, as long as credit is given.

GabberGirl began her DJ career in the mid-90's, out of Minneapolis.  She has always focused on gabber & hardcore, but enjoys mixing it up with an occasional track of a different genre, especially hip hop, dubstep, drum & bass, & hard techno.

She stumbled upon her first rave in 1994, put on by DJ ESP Woody McBride (Communique Records), DJ Jedidiah, & JethroX (Kurt Eckes) of Drop Bass Network.  The promoters showed her the magic happening in the DJ booth, and she declared at that moment she would be a DJ. 

GabberGirl played raves, clubs, radio shows, festivals, and even malls all around the Midwest and Canada from 1995 to 1997.  She also promoted parties as Warrior Princess Productions, including Heavy Mental in March 1997, with DJ Tron & Doormouse headlining.

She was honored to play in the main tent at the legendary Even Furthur '96 festival, a few hours before Daft Punk's US debut.

In 1997, after playing a Trust campout in the Sierra Nevada mountains, she decided to "bring the hardcore" to northern California & moved to the San Francisco bay area.

Late 1997, after finding her hardcore crew, GabberGirl & her partner DJ Squircle (previously known as Dr. Nog) began and ran Technostate internet radio station out of an artist loft warehouse in San Fran, and continued throwing parties as Warrior Productions. 

Summer of 1998, GabberGirl & the Technostate hardcore DJs hit the road for a 2-month coast to coast cross country tour.

In 1999, XLR8R Magazine published an article about GabberGirl, introducing her as the hardcore record reviewer of their new hardcore column, which only lasted a few months.

Technostate resident DJ Forest Green was featured on the film Groove, & Technostate hosted the movie premier in 2000, with GabberGirl DJing and broadcasting in the theater lobby.

In her early years, GabberGirl played parties with many other notable DJs, including Henry Vengeance, Bobby Tense (FUHD), Dan Efex, Ron D Core, Demigod, Bombardier, Fishead, DJ Tron, R-Type, The Tyrant (FUHD), William Rabies, and Doormouse.  In recent years, she has played events alongside The Demix, Flynx, Brenda, & Neil Landstrumm.

In 2002, GabberGirl took a long break to raise her son.  In 2018, after moving back to the Midwest as an empty nester, GabberGirl began DJing again. 

Lately, GabberGirl has been contributing monthly to New York City based internet radio station, Respect The Dance Floor Rave Radio. She has also been featured several times on Doomcore Records Pod Cast out of Hamburg, Germany.

Wowee, look at that rolling ghost glide!
