A post-apocalyptic ballad music video about end of the world. Footage from the poetic Sci-Fi film Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth (2017). I wish it will enlighten you. Read the lyrics here.
Check out all the music currently available for listening by Avalkis here.
About Soulweaver film and world of art:
This is one of my most psychedelic songs from 2001. Yet coherent in melody. I used to play around with unconventional various rhythms; I’d like to get back there.
I have called this style of my music from this period as “Renewing Power Experience”.
From the album World Lies in Leaves (2001). This is the first time I publicly release this song on my web page.
This song was on my Narcosis the Cat Meets the Flapsticks comic book album’s (2010) music CD as When It Is Raining from My Paws. The CD companion featured ambient, avantgarde and psychedelic music to be listened to while merging into the comic book fantasy world.
Here’s the classical and symphonic orchestral main theme music from the upcoming post-apocalyptic film Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth.
And here is a new 2016 Dark Ambient Rendition:
There will be over two hours of classical symphonic, ambient, dark ambient, electronic, trance and experimental music for the two Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth Soundtracks. They will be available on CD and as downloadable MP3.
Here’s my newest song – a guitar ballad, called “Scorpion” (2016). Hope you like it!
This is the first released song with my new artist name Avalkis. The track will be in the upcoming album Tree of Love – and Other Ballads from the Darkened Sun. Featuring f.ex. acoustic/electric guitar and piano ballads, celt and medieval inspired songs.
Thanks to Matti, Hanne and Onni for our recent live band sessions and jammings that inspired me to finish this song faster than I would have otherwise! (There might be a rock version with our band at some point when we have time with our busy schedules.)
UPDATE: Due to request from my good friend and artist Joonas here is the whole “Scorpion” song with the ambient intro that originally belonged with it :).
Here are the lyrics:
PS. The original working title for this song was “A Seed of Hope” which referred to “Acid of Hope”. Because it’s interesting to note that the base for this song is originally an acid trance song I composed in 1998. That might explain some of the sounds and melodies appearing in the final build-up :). Also a certain 1980s/1990s nostalgia is present. I will release the trance version too later.
EDIT 6.1.2017:
Lyriikat suomeksi:
Summer Island refers to the islands of Tammisaari (“Oak Island”, Ekenäs in Swedish) that is a very dear city to me here in the south of Finland. I’ve also lived there for over a year. My favorite and most beautiful forests are in Tammisaari. A few years ago I once swam to a near-by island there in the summer. At the half way I realized my energy was very limited and I didn’t have any water with me.
With the energy I had left in me I made it to the rocky shore of the island and had an experience of “an evolutionary flashback” — I felt how a fish came to the solid ground for the first time ever and its fins growing to legs. It felt like seeing and remembering millions of years back in a few seconds.
I studied the island. There is this old symmetrical tree with two big branches in a V-shape. I’ve picked this tree and the island as inspiration for The Blue Forest of Wish to appear in my Springbringer graphic novel. The actual tree is also featured in winter-time on the Soulweaver film, with the moonlight shining in the middle.
In the impromptu summer extreme swim when I left the island I noticed a group of sheep watching me. It felt like a bizarre scene from an art house film because I hadn’t noticed them upon my arrival.
Fortunately I made it back from the isle. And have carried water with me ever since.
