Grows G's

One of the tracks from my new album, "Real to Reel - An 80s Love Letter." 

I grew up in the SF Bay Area. The 1st drive of the summer, over "the hill" to Santa Cruz was always a special one.

Anyway, this song is from ECO's second season and will be part of the epilogue song. I thought I'd cut this bit out and share though, since it's going to be a very, very long time before I get to the end of season 2.
 This song is an arrangement of Storm's culmination.  Here are the others!

There's some background noise on one of the percussion samples that really bugs me. :\

THEME (from @FLOORBABA): "existentialism"

Tancla - Metamorphosis

I've written proper Fusion now! Using FM! With my own patches! Wow! Amazing!

Alternate take on https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/swimming-through-the-dark-early-wip This is much closer to the original idea I had in my mind for the song than what came out before.
I actually like this one a lot better, too, but as with most tracks on Capel albums, there'll be multiple versions of this one anyway. :V  I'm slowly but surely chipping away at The Bad Friend (my next album) along with the next Capel album (where this song and its partner will live!) I'll be working more on those after I finish up the book-related projects.

Swimming Through The Dark [Night]

Last upload for today!  Art is by Dusky!
This is another track from the next album I'm working on -- Return to Aloha. It's a sequel to a series of other albums I've had going on since around 2014 or so. Fans of that particular series might recognize this tune!

Colony - Afternoon

Another updated track from the Adventures of Capel's earlier albums. I'll likely be including this one on the Return to Aloha album due out sometime in Spring as a bonus track or something. Includes the leitmotif from Technology (as does most of the AoC series, now that I think about it. <_>; )
Art's by Dusky!

C-O-R-E-2

Another song from my upcoming album Return to Aloha (which I'll probably be releasing alongside The Bad Friend, later on this spring.)
This song may be familiar to those familiar with my work. It's an alternate take on this tune from Elancia Chronicles: https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/heroism?in=leila-wilson-woofle/sets/elancia-chronicles-order-of-1  Which, let's face it, was already really 80s! I decided to go for a feeling a bit closer to 80s anime rather than just straight up 80s for this rendition.
Got some fun stuff like a collaboration in the pipeline, so stay tuned. Work's a bit slow for a little while.

Go Forth Hero Capel! 1B

Another track from my upcoming album Return to Aloha. Part of the album is all about redoing tracks from the first album in the series to a style that fits in with the newer albums in the series.  This one was honestly one of the hardest to figure out what to do with! I'm happy with the result, though. Keen listeners or long time listeners might notice the instruments from Night Talk (Nightbridge) and the melody from Lost Girl (Return to Aloha) which was a reprise of Night Talk. The song ends with Lost Girl and Night Talk, before it dissipates into the stars.
For those with a passing interest in the 'lore' behind the albums, this is the love theme for Capel (the derpy medic protag) and her on-again-off-again love interest, Haze. An ex-pilot turned junker. I hope things can work out for them someday.

When I Met You (I wasn't Scared Anymore)

More Return to Aloha stuff! I'd say the album's finally nearing completion. This one, like many of the other tracks on the album is a re-do of a track from the first album. Engineering gets two themes, although this particular theme is more specifically for one engineer rather than the department as a whole, for those who care about the lore of this series of albums.  Anyway, rambling aside, some folks might recognize bits of this from Strut The Mall, which is a partial reprise of it.

Haze Does Work

Yet another track from Return to Aloha. I think I'm about halfway done with it, maybe a bit more than that? I wanted to do something that would sound more at home in an 80s film than on the pop charts at the time.
As many of you know, the albums tell a loose narrative about a strange space-monster medic named Capel, who lives in a neon-infested retro future sci-fi setting. Most of the galaxy in said setting is run by the Earth Federation, and this song is the theme of their miltiary. :V [/tangent]

Federation Military

Another track from my upcoming album, Return to Aloha! This one's a reprise of the early AM colony track from the very first album. I had to do a lot more chicanery to this file than I did to the one of the bar song, for sure. I think it was worth it though. It was fun working with triplet notes, which I felt I hadn't done enough (read: at all) in the Capelspace albums. The influences here are probably very, very obvious. Enjoy!
