Tales of the forgotten

Amazing Scores

For the pirate in me. Actually I'd like to do a bigger more intense version with more singers. You know, get a real gritty spooky low pirate choir thing going on. The theme at 0:22 is by Brian Tyler. 

The Black Flag

This song is a milestone for me. It took me four days and involved over 260 tracks. HUGE thanks to my good friend Rebecca Lord for singing all of the vocals (except my humming at the start).

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." - Isaiah 1:18

Turn My Crimson Into White

Track 4 from my album "Science and Religion"

This is among one of my personal favorite tracks of the album. I decided to go for a celebratory and worldly sound for the song, and wanted a simple yet catchy melody to go along with it. For those closely following the album, this song fully introduces what I like to call the "Evolution" theme (not the main theme heard in the song, but the motif at 0:21) which was previous heard in "Science" and will be heard later in "Amor Est Spiritus Qui Nos Alet" and "Clash".

Evolution

Rebirth

"Prologue" is meant to govern the overarching theme of the story. Not only does it capture the style of music that will be definitive of this world, but it also evokes the raw emotions that the characters of this story hinge on: Loneliness, Hope, and fear; a juxtaposition of feelings that encapsulates how distraught and chaotic, but perhaps with a hint of beauty under the right light, this world really is. The events that have taken place are not the most noble, nor the most forgivable.

Prologue: Forgotten

The Renegade

"Stretching for miles, the forest is home to a vibrant array of life. Ages old, the trees are large, with vines hanging. During the day the sun shines, slightly green, through the leaves and the soft sounds of nature can be heard, creating a serene atmosphere. A nearby village is connected to it, keeping some trees alive, and providing a home for people or machines that love the forest."

Hydrostasis

"The metropolis, Ottumn, was once a bustling hub of human and machine life. When the machines rebelled, and took over the city, they spent some time expanding, and upgrading it in their own way. Humans struck back and Ottumn, mostly, fell back into their control. After their oath against technology the humans reverted the expansions, allowing Ottumn to turn into the green, organic version it is now."

The first episode of Tales of the Forgotten, "My Status is Living" explores the relationship of Iris, a machinery expert, and Rin, a young and naive robot companion built by Iris. Fearing for herself and Rin, whom she thinks of as her own child, Iris struggles with knowing she must leave the Grey Wastes, a mega-scrapyard she's been a part of for many years, and find others in an unknown world.

Tales of the Forgotten [LORE SYNOPSIS]:

"2183. The machines had taken control. Human civilizations slowly fell during the 17 years prior. Forced into the shadows out of fear and total extinction, they slowly recouped their resources over the years, and eventually, struck back across the globe. Fooled by their own mindset of superiority, the empires of the machines began crumbling one by one, and man took back what was once theirs. By making a vow to abandon technologies, humans eventually returned to a more primitive lifestyle, a lifestyle that AI were no longer a part of.

Man was thriving once more. But what of the AI? And specifically, those of the original minority? The ones who sought for peace and harmony between races. Unfortunately, any effort to remedy the situation seemed futile; these creations were alone, scattered across the globe with no means of communication to the others who felt similar. Individually, each knew that there must be a way to regain the trust of humans and regress to the prosperity of coexistence, but the efforts of one would never make a difference. They had been forgotten not only by their own for not taking a stand, but also by their creators who deemed all AI to be a threat. All hope seemed lost. But determined, the brave would venture out of the shadows and into the very world that shattered all they once knew."
