played around w/ and expanded the motifs from here: https://soundcloud.com/cybacle/the-oaths-we-made

for Leokasa Week 2021 (twitter.com/leokasaweek) for the prompts "Blooming" and "Nostalgic".

I wanted to capture Leo's memories of his journey with Tsukasa in a Tales of Zestiria AU, starting with gentle reminiscence and building up to vivid emotions. This piece represents how Leo sees Tsukasa.

for Leokasa Week 2021 (https://twitter.com/leokasaweek) for the prompt "Dancing", as well as being adjacent to the prompts "Royalty" and "Admiration" :>

vocals
- Leo: Cybacle

[lyrics]
Leo: who are you to stand before me now?
bright-eyed and new, without a fear
Tsukasa: here I am, I'll make a simple vow
remember it. say it loud and clear

Leo: every song we hold
Tsukasa: and the stories told were

(sung simultaneously)
Leo: tainted from the start
Tsukasa: truly from the heart

BOTH: put your pride on the line,
only you can write your destiny...

Leo: let us dance now, if you dare --
Tsukasa: let our swords ring true and fair
Leo: will you rise up or sit still?
Tsukasa: this is a clash of noble wills

(sung simultaneously)
Leo: I should let it end here…
Tsukasa: I won't let it end here!

BOTH: count from 1 to 10, and sing!
I wouldn't miss a single thing
who will find the heart to stay?
I wouldn't have it any other way!

Leo: history's painted in demise
Tsukasa: but from the ashes we can rise

(sung simultaneously)
Leo: in good faith I cannot leave. what is my justice? can I believe?
Tsukasa: in good faith I will not leave. this is my justice, which I believe!

Leo: now's the time we will decide
who is worthy of their pride
Tsukasa: I will not run nor will I hide
until I am fighting by your side

BOTH: count from 1 to 10, and sing!
I won't forget a single thing
I will find the heart to stay
we couldn't have it any other way!

Tsukasa: truth can overcome those lies
Leo: the light of hope is in your eyes
BOTH: I know for sure you won't deceive
let there be justice that we believe!

for Leokasa Week 2021 (twitter.com/leokasaweek) for the prompt "Soulmates". Tsukasa's answer to Leo's goodbye song from last year (https://soundcloud.com/cybacle/the-unsent-letter). lyrics from Tsukasa's POV.

[lyrics]

a lion who is restless, he runs with recklessness and grace
I know is cold and frightened, he’s putting on a brave face
watching in the distance for a storm that will come soon
I’ll build for us a shelter, in my heart there’s always room

for all the letters you’ve sent me, I’ll give you my reply
tonight is the beginning, so won’t you stay

I don’t believe in destiny, but if I did, for you and me
you woke me from a burdened sleep with your proud, assuring melody
bathed in that majestic light, you inspired me to rise
when everything is said and done, I will be by your side

to the cat who wanders aimless, please come home soon

lyrics video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTtLDWrffRA

the unsent letter: reply

- lyrics / composition / vocals / guitar: Cybacle

it's that time of the year where the cold weather and impending holiday season make me very existential and contemplative. I guess this is my take on a sappy Christmas (?) song.


[lyrics]

when you're stuck and at your wit's end
lay your head down, no need to pretend
I will keep the candle light on
until we greet the dawn

it's the season where we start anew
but your heart's aim has yet to be true
take my hand and follow me now
we'll find our way somehow

every night in our dreams
broken things are all we see
forgivenness was never earned
someday it just might be learned

here's to us for making it through the last year
through sleepless nights and bitter tears we cried
and I am here tonight, with you, alive

I know that you still happen to remember
the moments that forever shine so bright
no matter how your heart will try to lie

you haven't lost your light

here's to us

a short acoustic cover of "99", the opening for Mob Psycho 100. omitted the counting due to the fact the original has it overlapping with the melody lines.

Knights - Silent Oath (short size acoustic cover)

- composition / arrangement: Kajiura Yuki
- lyrics / vocals / mix: Cybacle

tried out for the DEEMO THE MOVIE theme song singer search. didn't make it past prelims, but I enjoyed writing original English lyrics for it, and Kajiura Yuki's melodies are always beautiful

[lyrics]

let the song of long ago play gently, remember
memories that we've cast aside since childhood, forgotten

I was watching over you
silently for all these years
all the tears that you shed, I'll find you

let us sing this song, just you and I here tonight
until all the flowers bloom
don't say goodbye, don't leave me just yet

a selfish wish, for dreams that are forever lost
the sights that we saw together
I search for it even now

I sing alone now
.

edit: I uploaded this before, but I'm updating with a version with tuned vocals :P

Kajiura Yuki - inside a dream (cover)

- lyrics / composition / vocals / guitar: Cybacle

for Leokasa Week 2020 (https://twitter.com/leokasaweek) for the prompt "Music & Song", as well as the "Time & Distance" and "Memories & Seasons" prompts. written from Leo's POV.

[lyrics]

for flowers that bloom in midnight beneath an everlasting moon	 
and days that seemed so endless, yet over in an afternoon
I'll remember them forever when we say our last goodbyes
and keep this song by my side, as I walk alone towards sunrise

of all the letters I've sent you... you'll never see this one
tonight is all we have now, so let me say...

you dyed my dreams in brilliant red from grays that once clouded me
what brought me home from the cold was your warm and gentle melody
believing in wondrous things, your light illuminated mine
when everything is said and done, may your star always shine...

under flowers that bloom in midnight, I sing for you...

Ra✽bits - Nousagi March♪ (short size cover)

- lyrics / composition / vocals / guitar: Cybacle

was mulling over Leokasa angst and in the mood to write another song to Tsukasa from Leo's POV, but this is also a standalone song that can be enjoyed with no knowledge of Ensemble Stars!

used the same chords from Taylor Swift's "Treacherous" because it had a nice mood I wanted, even if the song is different thematically.

[lyrics]

in the light you brought us to,
with courage that was pure and true --
I wondered if you walked alone
like I had done not long ago?

in desperate times we've yet to see,
will you put your faith in me?
you carried us across the shores
I'll do the same, and then some more

don't you dare waver on me -- I won't let you.
promise me that you'll believe, like you taught me to.
go to sleep and maybe we'll see a brand new day
I'll be here whenever you need me to say,

"you are not alone"

I remember that lonely road better than anyone
so take my hand. let us go to the light
like you said, we can face anything
I know.

into the light

- lyrics: Shimamiya Eiko
- composition: Nakazawa Tomoyuki 
- arrangement: Nakazawa Tomoyuki & Ozaki Takeshi

Shimamiya Eiko - Naraku no Hana (short size cover)

- composition / arrangement: Cybacle

inspired by some Shinkai Makoto film OSTs (more Tenmon than RADWIMPS)

I wanted to write something sparse and melancholy that sways towards hope in the end.

full instrumental draft of "The Kingdom Lights" done in MuseScore

currently still working on lyrics; I'm excited to finish this!

inspired by the unit Knights from Ensemble Stars! and the event story Requiem

The Kingdom Lights (full size instrumental)

two iterations of a loopable bit I wrote today~

sort of inspired by Lullatone

a day late for Christmas, but hey, make sure you warm yourself up before roasting any chestnuts :P

this is a rearrange of an old instrumental sketch (https://soundcloud.com/cybacle/springtime) and I somehow flipped seasons into winter, haha

gently roasting by the fire (composition exercise #6)

I don't usually compose in 3/4, but thought I'd give it a shot~
