From April 16th to May 7th, 10 writers, 29 visual artists, and 56 musicians put their heads together to create FORM's most collaborative multimedia event yet. Writers wrote stories, visual artists used them to create cover art, and musicians gave a soundtrack to the narrative and visuals they were given. Together, they formed 10 tracks-- each one with unique cover art and a brilliant backstory.

STORYBOOK is truly the essence of FORM; while multimedia collaboration is no easy feat, the results are always absolutely phenomenal. Every artist is a storyteller in their own right.

All profits from STORYBOOK will be donated to Educando, a nonprofit dedicated to making education in Latin America more accessible.

SEASON I FINALE

LYRICS:

swallowed by the sea
trapped beneath the waves she lies

holding up her heart
inbetween the terrors of the night

trapped in ecstasy
where all colors look alive

the golden towers shine
and the dreamer dreams a dream of light

Khazuqo,
A demon whose arrogance as high as a peak of a mountain
Hungry for power, and status.
He is willing to do everything to achieve it, as long as he gets what he wants.

How much effort are you willing to satisfy your anger?

Yahallo it is me again notCodly!
Wow it has been 11 months since i uploaded a solo release huh? haha i hope all you've been fine when im working on this song for the past couple of months
this track is very difficult to finish, i think it's way harder than Aquos & Lucy theme song combined. it took me 8 months!!
most of the problem were running out of ideas, nightamares, and self-doubt. 

The idea of the song is something that you will ask  yourself "how much effort are you willing to put for something that you hated the most?" "was it worth it to satisfy your anger?" 
and also "a song that makes you hate someone".

i will briefly explain the story of this song

The "captain" (aka the main character), their homeland was attacked in the last few months by khazuqo. but his army failed to conquer it. 
so they and the whole kingdom want to take revenge and defend their home. while the other fought khazuqo's underlings, the "captain" was given the task to defeat him in the throne room.

The castle full of demons and they can listen from every corner of the castle, you can hear them by it's whispers to tell khazuqo that someone in the castle.
when they found the room, khazuqo was waiting for them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i remember the nightmares when i made this song. The most memorable nightmares were "Lucy" came to me again with a very dreadful appearance, and the other nightmares was when i accidentally posted the work in progress
version of the "Vainglorious Demon" and then someone commented on it with disappointed tone. both of the nightamares felt real! it was very scary! but i was very happy that everyone like the song told me it's the best thing they ever
heard in a while! and seeing all of you commented your reaction was fun! (i love reading all of your comments haha)

thank you so much for staying here even though i only make one song per year, i really appreciate all of your support <3

See ya next year!! hehe

Sincerely,
NotCodly.

Rite Of Ascendancy - ΔH, Gardens, glasse, Musature, Myntian & Sad Keyboard Guy

The Celestial calls upon the world to seal the Divine Plane...

Bandcamp (free dl/pay what you want): aspectt.bandcamp.com/track/the-celestials-call 
===========================================================
Within the Shattered Coast, the boundaries between realms have begun to dissolve. For centuries, the inner planes have been accessible through rare arcane anomalies. However, an excessive amount of magical energy has been released recently. The Divine Plane, the home of Gods, has been exposed to the mortal realm. Vain mortals seeking ascendency will travel to the divine gateway, oblivious to the impending devastation contact with this plane will cause to their world. A being known only as The Celestial has called upon powerful adventurers to forgo ascension and close the gateway to prevent a catastrophe.

aspect's notes
heyo! it's been a long time since ive released a solo track, the last ones being with the release of Light Spirit (wow it's rly been a while). ive learned so much since then, and even then it still feels like idk what im doing. ive been trying to write this song since around 2019, when it was part of a now scrapped album i was going to write after Light Spirit. i wanted to put it in Fragments but it ended up evolving into Celestial Bloom which is an entirely different thing in-universe (maybe it'll all be explained one day lol). this version of the song was written over the course of the last 2 months for a class i was doing in college. my goal with it was to prove to myself i still remember how to make music, and with this ive been thinking about the direction i want my music to go in. for now, i dont have any plans for a big album release and i dont want to have any other big promises to work towards for a while. for now i'll be releasing stuff pretty spontaneously as singles. there will definitely still be an interconnected story, if it'll be told in order idk. maybe i'll make it into a little ep or something by the end of the year. but for now ima just keep having fun telling my stories through music. 

thank you all for sticking with me over the years. im always blown away by how much support i get from you all. i have no idea how long it'll be until the next song, but see you then!

Divine Plane EP | 1/5

The Celestial's Call

some strings layers from @phritzmusic

Lyrics:
And at the end
I will know
Why I’ve been sinking
From all you stole
You’ll be nothing
When I am through
And I would do just
What you’d want me to
And at the end
This wound will show
Time will run out
But you won’t be close
You will not know
How long it took
I've tried to reach you
But I never could

And at the end
This wound will heal
I will sink down, into an open field
So won't you lay down, as I appeared
Just to wait for, the end that's near

Falling out
I gave in
And all that's loved
Is taken from us

Thief!

LYRICS:

O, Brother of the Tombstones, I come to humbly plead my faith,
seek refuge for these fragile bones inside your cold, indifferent embrace
See, there's nowhere left for me to shelter in, as this blizzard rages away
And, I know, to you, I'm lesser than a snowflake, but I'm not ready to melt today

I'm trying to see a mirror in your metamorphic face, (metamorphic, metamorphic, metamorphic face)
escape the sea of broken skulls, their screaming jaws agape, agape (screaming jaws a-screaming jaws agape)
Will I return to your loving arms, as my body crumbles and decays?
Or is it destiny to drown beneath your deathly ashblack lakes?

And as your shape looms in the night
Countless snowflakes flutter and die
Monolith, you're but a child, 
with a fatal outstretched tongue

In your suffocating white,
the precipice drifts out of sight,
O, there was only me,
falling endlessly,
into your arms,
into your arms,
into your arms.

Into your arms,
your arms.

Monolith

13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

[Verse 1: lillybug]
You want to be the savior of the damned
To heal the wounds deep within this broken land
Can you see past all your faults through your vengeful lens
There’s a reason that you fail over and over again

[Chorus 1: Evangeline and Oncill]
Hover in the centre of a hole
Holder of the new age sword, inner shifting form
Ever-changing
Haldur waning
Ever-changing
Heart awaiting

[Verse 2: Evangeline and Oncill]
You act like you’ve got the weight of the world on your hands
But it’s not that hard, not that hard, no
The sword you speak to and the fight on broken land
Can you attest to all that you said?
Marionette with tangled strings
Will you wrap back around into me
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)

[Bridge: nshvll]
For the lie I take with me
All I’ve done was be there for you
Now it's done

[Chorus 2: lillybug, Evangeline, Oncill]
(In the centre of a hole
Of the new age sword, inner shifting form)
(Drop your hands and Take my hands and
Take your marks and Pierce the land in)
(when you find yourself back here
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting)

i wanna tell everyone a message of how they can't find any purpose in whatever they're doing. this song serves as a reminder that it takes time to find your reason and that you should keep moving forward and never stop what you're doing.

whatever things that bring you down are just signs that do not determine who you are as an individual because you still have that last bit of passion and determination that wants to keep pushing you through hardships you face, although it sucks, but knowing your worth is important.

in short, it takes time to know what you wanna do and what you wanna pursue in, keep pushing forward and never let any obstacles bring you down


"can you tell me who am i?"

-verse 1-
I am lost in my tortuous mind
Every voice in my presence keeps pushing me around 

Still searching for what made me blind
But the disarray of walls made it nowhere to be found

How far am i from the distant you?
Knowing time will stand still, do i dive towards painful truth?

"Face against all odds" was said and it's true
I can't find my answer as the road i walk on doesn't lead me to you


-chorus-
I watch me fall with my thoughts 
To go left or right, i don't know where to find you
My vision's blurred and fate will forever be unsought
The day that i find my real self won't ever be true

I deny what i see right in front of me
Is there light? Or is there hope?
Can you bring me home and can you set me free?

-verse 2-
I am lost in my tortuous mind
Every noise coming from all directions is driving me insane

And all my life i've been swimming through a sea of uncertainty
(I think i'm running out of breath)
The end keeps running away, pulling me closer to death

-chorus-
I found myself staring at the sky
Hoping to god that a star can appear somewhere up high
Blinding eyes as it flies at the speed of light
I might be pushing too much till i can't catch it right

-buildup-
Keep going, stop breaking till sundown
Finish the puzzle and fear shall be ran down
Keep going, stop breaking till sundown
Finish the puzzle and save yourself from burnout

Keep going, stop breaking till sundown
Finish the puzzle and fear shall be ran down
Keep going, stop breaking till sundown
Finish the puzzle and save yourself

-verse 3-
There's nowhere else to run (Don't burn away)
I might be dragging you across the ground
(Your cries echoed out loud)

There's nowhere else to run (Heed my call)
Will you stand up after hearing this sound?
(Save yourself)

-bridge-
I can't escape my tortuous mind
I'm forever locked in a cage
Too weak to climb the mountains, too frail to turn the pages
Should this star be left unseen?

Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Can you bring me back to reality?
Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Reach out to me....
Reach out... to... me...

"You are.... your utopia"

-predrop-
Surrounded by the truth, let's dance till it ends
I found you standing still by my side till the end.


-chorus-
I watch me fall with my thoughts 
To go left or right, i found you
My vision's blurred and fate has shown me the road
To find my real self and it's true

I keep what i see right in front of me
There is light, and there is hope.
I am home and i am set free

Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Can you bring me back to reality?
Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Reach out to me
Reach out to me

Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Can you bring me back to reality?
Reach out to me, the missing puzzle piece
Reach out to me
You reached out to me
