Origin (Dayseeker album)

Origin is the second full-length album by American post-hardcore band Dayseeker. The album was released on April 21, 2015 via inVogue Records.

Production history

Alex Polk announced in mid-December 2014 that the band would fly to Ohio to record the new album with record producer Nick Ingram who worked with bands like Before Their Eyes and Hotel Books in the past.

The band recorded a cover song of Jealous originally released by Nick Jonas which fans were able to download when they pre-ordered the record at MerchNow.

The album's tracklist was leaked on April 2, 2015.

Releases and promotion

The first song the band released on March 26, 2015 was the same-titled song Origin. Another song was released by InVogue Records on YouTube on April 3, 2015. It is called A Cancer Uncontained. The latest single, The Earth Will Turn was released on April 15, 2015 just one week before the album's official release.

On April 18, 2015 the band headed out for a short US run with Silent Planet to promote their new record. The tour ended on May 4, 2015 in Indianapolis, Indiana after eleven shows.

Origin (mathematics)

In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space.

Cartesian coordinates

In a Cartesian coordinate system, the origin is the point where the axes of the system intersect. The origin divides each of these axes into two halves, a positive and a negative semiaxis. Points can then be located with reference to the origin by giving their numerical coordinates—that is, the positions of their projections along each axis, either in the positive or negative direction. The coordinates of the origin are always all zero, for example (0,0) in two dimensions and (0,0,0) in three.

Other coordinate systems

In a polar coordinate system, the origin may also be called the pole. It does not itself have well-defined polar coordinates, because the polar coordinates of a point include the angle made by the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point, and this ray is not well-defined for the origin itself.

Origin: Spirits of the Past

Origin: Spirits of the Past (Japanese: 銀色の髪のアギト, romaji: Gin-iro no kami no Agito, lit. Silver-Haired Agito) is a 2006 Japanese animated science fiction film directed by Keiichi Sugiyama and produced by Gonzo. It premiered in Japan on January 7, 2006, and premiered in the United States on September 24, 2006 at the Fantastic Fest film festival in Austin, Texas.

Plot

Genetic engineering on trees was conducted at a research facility on the Moon to produce trees capable of growing in harsh, arid conditions. The trees gain consciousness, obliterating Earth's civilizations and destroying the Moon. Three hundred years later, Japan is a dystopia covered by the Forest, a huge expanse of sapient trees, and ruled by the tree-like Druids, which inhabit the planet and control the water supply of both trees and humans. Agito, a young boy, and his father Agashi, as well as his friends Cain and Minka, live in Neutral City, a city carved out of the ruined skyscrapers which acts as both a buffer and a bridge between the Forest and the militaristic nation of Ragna. While the people of Neutral City co-exist peacefully with the trees of the forest, the nation of Ragna aims to destroy the Forest to restore the Earth.

Swarm!

Swarm! is the second album by the Finnish death metal band Torture Killer, released on February 24, 2006. The only album to feature vocalist Chris Barnes.

Personnel

Galaxian

Galaxian (ギャラクシアン, Gyarakushian) is an arcade game that was developed by Namco and released in October 1979. It was published by Namco in Japan and imported to North America by Midway that December. A fixed shooter game in which the player controls a spaceship at the bottom of the screen, and shoots enemies descending in various directions, it was designed to compete with Taito Corporation's successful earlier game Space Invaders (which was released in the previous year, and also imported to the US by Midway Games).

The game was highly popular for Namco upon its release, and has been a focus of competitive gaming ever since. It spawned a successful sequel, Galaga, in 1981, and the lesser known Gaplus and Galaga '88 in 1984 and 1987 respectively, as well as many later ports and adaptations. Along with its immediate sequel, it was one of the most popular games during the golden age of arcade video games.

Description

Galaxian expanded on the formula pioneered by Space Invaders. As in the earlier game, Galaxian features a horde of attacking aliens that exchanged shots with the player. In contrast to Space Invaders, Galaxian added an element of drama by having the aliens periodically make kamikaze-like dives at the player's ship, the Galaxip. This made it the first game to feature enemies with individual personalities. The game's plot consists of a title screen that displayed the message "WE ARE THE GALAXIANS / MISSION: DESTROY ALIENS".
