EFFECT: To help raise funds to http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ and their noble cause to bring happiness and joy to kids who due to their health has to live in a hospital


The story behind it:
Surely you will ask me "Tei, this is one of your first world problems, now isn't it? There are kids in 3rd world countries that need the money as much as we do." for that I will say, yes there is but hear me out and why do I think that this album is worth doing, even if I need to do everything by myself and send them only my two cents. Because in the end it will be worth it.


A couple of nights ago I recieved a text message that I wasn't expecting, nor wanting. A good friend of mine sent me a message from all the way from England. I known the lad for 7 years now. He is currently 27 years old. He used to live in the same neighborhood as me, but recently, due to his family in the U.K. he moved there. He was always the joker in our bunch, and he was loved deeply, even my mother asks me on monthly basis "How's Jukka doing?" To which I just generally shrug and say "I think he is still alive."

We do talk on regular basis, but due to his family and his job as a lawyer, but when we do, boy do we have a blast, even the games we play together tend to drag on to 10 hour sessions. Yes he is as a big gamer as I am or even bigger.

But two days ago he sent me a message which basically went. "Little Johan didn't make it." Those few words caught me by surprise and I was in a state of shock. I knew Johan had cancer since he was a lot younger. Johan who was now 7, had passed away in Sheffield U.K. Childrens Hospital. Johan was a bright kid and I remember seeing him visit Finland, while Jukka was on vacation and wanted to visit Finland few years back. That summer was really hot and Johan had so much fun swimming in the beautiful lakes of Saimaa, but on 24th of June his travel ended, in a fight against cancer, leaving all his family and friends behind.

I called Jukka and we spent the whole night talking about it, I could hear that he was in tears and the loss was heavy, he mentioned the fact that Johan the very day before was playing games that the hospital provided him, to pass up the time, games such as Ratchet and Clank and so on and he had a blast. Johan was almost too eager to go bed since he wanted so bad to beat the level he was on, guess the gamer genes of his nerdy dad do inherit.

That's when it hit me. Sheffield was one of those Child's Play hospitals, to which the charity has brought games and joy to the kids who have to stay there. We agreed with Jukka, that it was a blessing from us the gamer's and the game industry to remember the sick kids who are trapped in a 10x10 room with nothing better to do.

Jukka was relieved that Johan's pain was finally over but still the loss has taken a lot from him.

I could hear from his words that he was happy that Johan was happy till the end and didn't know sorrow.

That was when it hit me. As a token of gratitude I wanted to thank the people at http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ even though I didn't have any power to do anything at the start, I've been boiling this idea down, and this is the way I want to do it.

A charity album, to a greater cause, to which I ask your people's help. If you want to help / contribute to the album, you are free to do so. 100% of the money will go straight to the charity itself.

I'm sorry I'm a really bad spokes person and I'm still trying to come up with ways to handle all this.


If you want to participate what you need to do:
1. Be interested in the project and submit your work to the album
2. When you have done a demo / teaser, send me a message over the forums, or via my personal skype which is by the handle "tundrasaurus" (for now)
3. When you want to release a track, release the teaser but not the actual song, Songs can be released on the 1st of January of 2013, when the album is released.
4. When you have the final version send a private message to me a message over the forums, or via my personal skype which is by the handle "tundrasaurus" (for now)
5. Provide me a link to your Youtube/soundcloud/whatever for the artist linking.


Those who participate, I sincerely thank you. You are making my journey much more easier, more you are, bigger and better album we have.

For those who are interested in participating and want to have some logo's I will provide them to you:

Big version of the Logo
Logo as a PNG

Some Sample renders for the songs:

Sorry for the late responses or lack of not answering your questions. Currently I am working alone on this matter and still setting up all the organisational things about this album, and trying to round up some help on the matter.

Q & A:

This could be relevant to my interests, is there any specific theme to it?
Nope not really any specific, just that you keep on within good tastes, not killing or anything as if we are trying to make lives better.

Could you explain the logo to me? I'm interested as to why you chose what you did. ^.^
Sure! The original idea came from the Childs play Logo which is the controller you can see in the picture also I took the calm color scene from it. Now then I needed to make it ponified and Rarity was the first one to come to my mind cause she stands for element of generosity, so the whole idea blends well together.


There will be quality control so do your best!

Oh man, this is great. Child's Play is one of my favorite charities. I've even done some volunteer work for them (mostly just transporting games to hospitals and whatnot). The deadline appears to be a ways away so I'll definitely have time to make something. Definitely something happy-sounding. Not like the sad stuff I normally do.

This is my signature. It was supposed to be an awesome text-art thing but it doesn't like multiple spaces in a row. This made me sad.
