<br />
We have created a new landing page for the World of Fyra. How do you like it?<br />

<br />
I have no choice but to begin with sad news. Today one of the main non-musical influences of Fyra passed away: Terry Pratchett. So shortly after Leonard Nimoy whose role as Mr. Spock is also a very important influence.<br />
<br />
This is a good opportunity to listen to Steeleye Span's album <i>The Wintersmith</i> which they made in collaboration with Terry Pratchett:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="240" scrolling="no" src="http://www.deezer.com/plugins/player?autoplay=false&playlist=true&width=700&height=240&cover=true&type=album&id=8923213&title=&app_id=undefined" width="700"></iframe><br />
<br />
Now for some information about the status of Fyra. Those who have contributed to our campaign two years ago surely want to know what has happened to the project.<br />
I have to admit that it took me so long to write about what happened during and after the campaign because I wanted to avoid being too negative. But this was and is almost impossible with what was going on. However, you who supported and will continue to support us have nothing to do with that negative things – you are awesome and you will always remain awesome!<br />
So if any supporter really wants to know what happened, you can contact us privately and we will tell you everything you like.<br />
<br />
It took so long for two main reasons:<br />
1. Obviously we hadn't got even close to enough money with the campaign to pay for all the expenses we got making it. So the campaign was a loss for us.<br />
2. I have started a relationship with my Lady Asphyx and had to move to Lorraine, France to live with her (there were good reasons for me to do that). The distance to Aachen, where the other musicians lived and probably still live is too far to continue playing with them. I can tell you that this made it a very very hard decision for me. I loved playing with those guys.<br />
So, I had to start everything over again here without knowing anyone around here. And there were many other problems to solve first.<br />
<br />
And now finally for the good news:<br />
Fyra will continue! And I have already found one musician who is very passionate about what he does. That is great, I'm very excited about it (and he is too, I can tell). In spring we will get going and push the project forwards.<br />
I will introduce you to the new musician soon. We have to work on some new PR material. Until then you can have a guess which instrument he plays.<br />
<br />
Oh, and I promise I will write more frequently in the Fyranian Herald from now on.<br />

No matter if this is right or not, in Fyra things are a bit different and in Fyra we know how time works. Time in Fyra is multidimensional and doesn't behave linear to time on earth. Although Fyra is a new world, Fyra is also many millions of years old and we can be in any Fyranian age we like at any time on earth. The creatures in Fyra experience the same sense of time as on earth. To them time also seems to be linear. Few of them have an idea of the many songs that enable their existence and give them present, past and future. On earth people know the songs (and we play them), they are the bridge between both worlds and through them all earthlings can travel to Fyra at any time. <br />
<br />
To conclude one could say that Fyra has been created as well as Fyra is a product of evolution because Fyra has always been there even though it has been created only a few years ago. Fyra was waiting ever since to become a world and therefore Fyra never waited and was always full of life. If you understand this paradox than it is not so hard anymore to understand how new worlds arise from a void.<br />

As we are talking of time, don’t you think it is time to contribute to our <a href="http://igg.me/at/world-of-fyra/x/2682777" target="_blank">Indiegogo campaign</a>?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Time to start something special! <br />
<br />
We want to engage you in promoting the campaign, so we prepared a promotion competition where you can get some really cool stuff in reward for your help. <br />
<br />
We decided to create a system where you can earn some points for different actions and can trade these points for perks. This makes sure that every successful action is valued. <br />
<br />
We need to get as many people as possible on our campaign and we need them to contribute. Pretty obvious, right? So you should first <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/account/login?return_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiegogo.com%2F" target="_blank">register on Indiegogo</a> (you can do that very easily using your Facebook account if you got one). When you are logged in and visit our campaign, you get a special link which you should share. When you use this link, we can see how many people you have brought to the campaign and how much money they spent. <br />
<br />
This is what you get for your actions: <br />
<br />
Every 10 visitors on our campaign = 1 point <br />
Every Euro one of your visitors spent = 1 point <br />
Getting the campaign in any smaller media (up to 9.999 visitors) = 20 points <br />
Getting the campaign in any larger media (10.000 to 99.999 visitors) = 200 points <br />
Getting the campaign in any very large media (100.000 and more visitors) = 2.000 points <br />
<br />
Trading points with perks is easy, just divide the amount of points by 10 and you see what you can get. For example with 250 points you can get a deluxe edition, with 1.500 points you can get a gold edition (please keep in mind that some perks are only available in limited amounts).<br />
<div>
You think the project is awesome but it is not exactly you musical taste? No problem! You can trade your points divided by 10 in a gift coupon which you can use in many online shops. Of course this offer is also for anybody else.</div>
<div>
<br />
The person with the most points will get a special meet and greet with the band. You can spend one day with us and you decide the activity (as long as it is reasonable). <br />
<br />
Also the 5 people with the most points will get a special certificate for being a Fyranian honorary citizen and will be mentioned in the album booklet on a special place. <br />
<br />
If you got any questions, ask us.<br />
<br />
So what are you still waiting for? Let's go!</div>

<div>
Noch zwei Wochen haben wir mit der <a href="http://igg.me/at/world-of-fyra/x/2682777" target="_blank">Kampagne</a> vor uns. Es ist an der Zeit, etwas ganz besonderes zu starten!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wir wollen euch bei der Verbreitung der Kampagne beteiligen und haben deshalb einen Promotion-Wettbewerb vorbereitet, bei dem ihr tolle Sachen als Belohnung für euren Einsatz bekommen könnt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wir haben beschlossen, ein System zu entwerfen, in dem ihr Punkte für verschiedene Aktionen bekommen könnt und diese anschließend gegen Perks eintauschen könnt. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass jede erfolgreiche Aktion auch wertgeschätzt wird.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wir müssen so viele Leute wie möglich auf die Kampagne bekommen und die sollten auch etwas beitragen. So weit so offensichtlich. Ihr solltet euch zunächst <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/account/login?return_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiegogo.com%2F" target="_blank">auf Indiegogo registrieren</a> (das könnt ihr ganz einfach mit eurem Facebook-Account, sofern ihr einen habt). Wenn ihr eingeloggt seid und unsere Kampagne besucht, dann bekommt ihr einen besonderen Link, den ihr teilen solltet. Wenn ihr diesen Link verwendet, können wir sehen, wie viele Leute ihr auf die Kampagne gebracht habt und wie viel sie beigetragen haben.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Das hier könnt ihr für eure Aktionen bekommen:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10 Besucher auf die Kampagne gebracht = 1 Punkt</div>
<div>
Jeder Euro, der von einem eurer Besucher kommt = 1 Punkt</div>
<div>
Ein Bericht über die Kampagne in einem kleineren Medium (bis zu 9.999 Besucher) = 20 Punkte</div>
<div>
Ein Bericht über die Kampagne in einem größeren Medium (10.000 bis 99.999 Besucher) = 200 Punkte</div>
<div>
Ein Bericht über die Kampagne in einem großen Medium (100.000 und mehr Besucher) = 2.000 Punkte</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Punkte gegen Perks einzutauschen ist ganz einfach, teilt die Punktzahl einfach durch 10 und guckt, was ihr dafür kriegen könnt. Für 250 Punkte könnt ihr zum Beispiel die Deluxe-Edition bekommen, für 1.500 Punkte könnt ihr die Gold-Edition erhalten (beachtet bitte, dass einige Perks limitiert sind).</div>
<div>
Ihr findet das Projekt großartig, die Musik entspricht aber nicht ganz eurem Geschmack? Kein Problem! In dem Fall könnt ihr alternativ eure Punkte geteilt durch 10 in einen Einkaufsgutschein eintauschen, den ihr dann bei einem von vielen Online-Händlern gegen Ware eintauschen könnt. Das gilt natürlich auch für alle anderen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Die Person mit den meisten Punkten bekommt ein Meet-and-Greet mit der Band. Ihr habt die Möglichkeit einen ganzen Tag mit der Band zu verbringen und die Aktivität zu wählen (sofern die zumutbar ist).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Auch bekommen die 5 Leute mit den meisten Punkten ein spezielles Zertifikat für eine Fyranische Ehrenbürgerschaft. Auch werdet ihr an einer besonderen Stelle im Booklet des Albums erwähnt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wenn ihr noch Fragen habt, fragt uns.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also worauf wartet ihr noch? Lasst uns loslegen!<br />

But tomorrow we will start something that has to do with our ongoing <a href="http://igg.me/at/world-of-fyra/x/2682777" target="_blank">campaign</a>, so you should definitely check out the Fyranian Herald tomorrow.<br />
<br />
And we have some new pledges. Thank you again, Rafael Lorenz, for another pledge and thank you, Lorenz Becker for pledging for an autograph.<br />

Even if you already have a good idea for a project, there are still a lot of things to plan and to do. Not all of the perks were self-evident parts of the project Fyra. We had to sit together and gather a lot of special ideas. Also we had to think a lot about the presentation of Fyra. What are the main facts you probably want to know about Fyra? How can we make clear what we need and what we can offer you?<br />
Today I took a picture of some papers from our conferences where we gathered all the ideas:<br />

<br />
you may have noticed that we stopped posting for a few days and spent our time on promoting our special offer. It is now over and we have got a few new pledges and some are still to come from people who don't have PayPal accounts. We didn't make it on page 1 yet but we were able to keep out good position.<br />
That's awesome.<br />
<br />
We'd especially like to thank Michael Maier, Marc Le Cousin and Béatrice Journaux for their contributions and to Fabienne Kirsch for her great support sharing our campaign and last blog posts on Facebook that much. Yes, this is also something you can still do to support us.<br />
<br />
In the next time we will have to rehearse without Henrik. He will be doing a work placement. We see it as an opportunity to work intensively on the rhythm section and get a real good timing until he is back in town.

So you can make it an event for you and your friends or you can decide that we should play at a certain location because you'd love to see us playing there. You should keep in mind that it doesn't contain traveling costs which, shouldn't be a problem as long as it is in reasonable distance. If you want us to play far away from where we are, you will certainly have to pay the travel expenses.<br />

The next two perks let you be a part of the album. For the song <i><a href="http://worldoffyra.blogspot.de/2013/04/a-song-day-week-day-3-outcast-society.html" target="_blank">Outcast Society</a></i> we want to make a picture where you can see many people who form this outcast society. You can be one of these people with a pledge of 300 €.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9n2YXr_B9k/UXLMciwVqYI/AAAAAAAAALU/bQoghgH-Odc/s1600/perk-6-all.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9n2YXr_B9k/UXLMciwVqYI/AAAAAAAAALU/bQoghgH-Odc/s1600/perk-6-all.png" /></a></div>
<br />
If you want even more, you can even sing with us on the album. You will be a part of the choir of <i>Outcast Society</i> and of course will not only be heard on the album but also featured in the credits. And you get a gold edition of the album. This is your chance to perform on a record.<br />

We won't make more than 250 pieces, so when they're gone, they're gone. The box contains the CD deluxe edition as well as the picture LP Edition but it also contains an extra illustrated booklet with the prose story of <i>Go! to Fyra</i> and when you open the box, you find some other stuff that you only get in this edition. So this box is even far beyond being awesome!<br />

The first one is our album on a custom USB flash drive with the writing ‘the world of Fyra’ on it. Maybe this perk is a great idea if our music isn't exactly what you'd like to listen to but still want to support a great idea – you still have that flash drive you can use. This perk is limited to 200 pieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And the other one is also great, because you get an autograph card with a personal message just for you from the band members.<br />
<br />

This makes a total of <b>six </b>pictures on vinyl. So the best thing you can do is to order it three times so you can hang every picture on your wall and have another edition you can listen to. What can be more awesome? Well, maybe something we show you in the next perk checks.<br />

You will get a digipack in DVD size with an illustrated booklet with all song lyrics and a picture for each song. On the two CDs you will find our first album which will be a combination of <i>Go! to Fyra</i> and another mini album. There will be two versions of the album, one completely in English and one mixed German and English.<br />

<br />
The Fyranian Hall of Fame will be a special site on our homepage where everyone who has contributed to the creation of Fyra will be mentioned and hailed to <b>for eternity</b>. Or for at least as long as the homepage exists. But that will be a very long time I guess. Fyra is not some short-time project, it is a <b>work of a lifetime</b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B3bNuALaNfg/UWwRMCVwWQI/AAAAAAAAAJw/uKWlhjQ4NNw/s1600/perk-1-all.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B3bNuALaNfg/UWwRMCVwWQI/AAAAAAAAAJw/uKWlhjQ4NNw/s1600/perk-1-all.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the other perk is the concert ticket that also lasts<b> for as long as Fyra exists</b>. Imagine that you get one now and keep it for some years – Fyra is now famous and their concert tickets cost 100 € or something like that, but you can still use your ticket because you were <b>awesome</b> back then when Fyra needed your support. That's<b> pretty cool</b>, right? <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-creation-of-a-new-world-the-world-of-fyra/pledges/new?perk_amt=15&perk_id=904188" target="_blank">So, get your ticket <b>NOW!</b></a><br />

We are recently uploading some stuff from the making of the Go! to Fyra artwork. For example we have this nice plant which is one of the many plants on the Fyranian coast:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/103/c/d/plant_1_by_world_of_fyra-d61k1zu.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/103/c/d/plant_1_by_world_of_fyra-d61k1zu.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
But much more important is the fact that you can contribute your own ideas for Fyranian artwork. We have several tasks there. So pick one and go for it! You can post it in our group which you find <a href="http://create-fyra.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
There are no restrictions for the style of the pictures. You don't have to make that typical fantasy artwork style. It can even be totally abstract.<br />
<br />
Also we'd like to thank some people for their pledges. The name of the author Raol Imling will be rendered homage to in the Fyranian Hall of Fame and Herbert Kolß wants to meet us live in concert. We're really looking forward to it.The Fyranian Embassyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16787317808481576869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036731246084144718.post-68763557911977498232013-04-13T15:37:00.002+02:002013-04-13T15:37:52.590+02:00A-song-a-day week, day 6: This is Fyra<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><i>Welcome to a place<br />Where you’ve never been before<br />We take you on a trip<br />We’ll just go through an imagined door<br /> <br />Can you see the plane?<br />Can you feel your heart?<br />Did you lose your pain?<br />Then we gonna start<br /><br />This is the world of our fantasy<br />This is just what we wanna see<br />This is the sense of my life<br />This is what I’m really like<br /> <br />Open your eyes and follow me<br />It’s not just insanity<br />Breathe with me the freshest air<br />You can do it everywhere<br /><br />Ref.:<br />Hey ho, this is Fyra<br />And you can be where we are<br />Hey ho, Fyra’s here<br />And we would love to have you near<br /><br />Can this world be reality?<br />Can this be what we really see?<br />Can we transfer our lives?<br />Can we do what we really like?<br /> <br />Ref.<br /> <br />You wanna be a hero<br />Or start again by zero<br />Let your dreams come true<br />It’s all inside of you<br /> <br />Let all your dreams come true<br />Fyra is inside of you<br /><br />Ref. x2<br /> <br />Hey ho, this is Fyra<br />And we can be where you are<br />Hey ho, Fyra’s here<br />And you will love to have us near</i><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this is the last song on Go! to Fyra and also the last part of the a-song-a-day week.</div>
<div>
This song is even harder to play than preamble even though it is not that fast, especially the solo after the first chorus. But this was exactly my intention when I composed this song, to make something where we can prove our skills.</div>

First it was a ‘Fyranian National Anthem’ and sounded completely different (but it already got the melody from Outcast Society which became the Fyranian Anthem). But the term ‘national’ doesn't make any sense when it comes to Fyra. So we made a World Anthem.The Fyranian Embassyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16787317808481576869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036731246084144718.post-4246793798003214012013-04-11T14:49:00.000+02:002013-04-12T15:45:59.130+02:00A-song-a-day week, day 4: A-Patter-a-Clop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
This is another one of Tief-Taucher's awesome lyrics. Of course it is a song about a world that gets life through the playing of music. It's just amazing how well Tief-Taucher got the idea behind Fyra and put it into these words.</div>
<div>
Composing the music was rather easy with these inspiring lyrics. Of course it had to be something epic, something bombastic, something that sounds like the creation of a new world. It is the slowest Fyra song until now with just 100 BPM (for comparison: the <i>Preamble</i> has 210 BPM).</div>

This is the oldest song from Go! to Fyra. It's from november 2006. It began with the bass line of the chorus. I liked the chord progression and wanted to make an 80s pop song of it. But then I had the idea to give it a Fyranian touch and thought it would be great for meeting the outcast society. The first version had a continuous 4/4 time signature. Later we changed the bridge to 3/4 to make it more interesting and a little bit more progressive (it's still some kinda pop song, I know …).<br />
<br />
We'd like to thank some more people. <i>trash5</i> pledged for a Gold Edition. That's awesome! Thank you! Also thanks to the anonymous people who pledged. Maybe we should create some Fyranian hidden-ID-cards for people who want to hide their identity? The Fyranian Embassy would be the first one to officially support hidden identities.</div>
