HardSpeed: Passion and Warfare

Random OSTs/Remixes pt3

old school

A playlist for a specific set of tracks from the HardSpeed project. Gathered up for no particular reason and totally not part of an evil plot to create something new with the project that will take years and years and years to complete. Enjoy.

HardSpeed Project

Tsu'ghui unit 32 embarks on what should be a routine operation on planet Exillion. The target is in a mansion bigger than any of them have seen before, but they won't let that stop them from doing their job. (Probably.)

Target's Mansion

This _just_ missed the cutoff for my last HardSpeed album. Figure it'll go on the next one! Definitely a slower/more melancholy song for that project. I want to do more like this in the future!

Stray Dog

Next on the list of "songs I didn't finish in time for the album" is this one. Oh well, it'll be on the next one! Art is by Dusky.

So, they tell me
You are a big girl and you oughtta be that tough
Don't correct me
I'll just tell you
That the rest is not enough~

VF - The Rest is not Enough

I always wanted to adapt "Pocket Watch" from my Elancia series into HardSpeed's 80s style. It took a very long time to settle on the right sound for it, but here it is. Enjoy!

Keepsake

A track off my upcoming (as of yet unnamed) HardSpeed album. This one's a bit more late 70s than 80s! Art is by Proto.

M A G E N T A   C I T Y (feat. Daan Demmers)

I've had this kicking around on my harddrive for a while now. I couldn't quite figure out what I wanted to do with it, or how I wanted it to sound for a while. I decided to just upload it in its most recent state. Enjoy!

Cosmopolitan

My final upload on this account. Soundcloud has determined that I have used up the minutes available to me. I hope someone will carry on my work. My own will come to a close with this peaceful melody.

For the final time, this song was produced by Masayoshi Soken.

FFXIV Dawntrail - "The Promise of Tomorrow"

I got hired (along with two other fantastic musicians!) to do a song for this pretty rad project called StarBuster!  This is the theme for the intro stage, which is the only one I've done so far. This game really deserves a look! You can read more about it and play the demo here; https://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/starbuster-demo.373/

Awaken

Another HardSpeed song here! This is the battle theme for the Tsu'ghui, a mysterious race of killer clones. It seems like they're being controlled by someone.
The beginning of HardSpeed's narrative follows a squad of Tsu'ghui on a routine mission that turns out to be anything but. I wanted their battle theme to differ heavily from the normal battle theme.

TsuGhuiBattle

During development of Star Buster, I came to the realization that some stages changed enough that their second halves might warrant a second song. The first levels for both Alpha and Cassie have this going on in a big way! So this is the second half of Alpha's first stage.
The first half can be found here!

Sunset Escape

New HardSpeed track.
This one has to do with more thoughtful, pensive moments for the characters -- specifically Capel, the main character. Capel barely even understands how people work, and yet she desperately wants to live among them. Every step forward is two steps back. Sometimes, she isn't even sure it's worth it to keep trying.
-
Mostly done using the Korg Wavestation. I started out trying to decipher the patterns one of the presets had, and ended up reproducing the sounds manually instead. From there, the rest of the song formed. :V

Steady Lights

This will be the first track on my upcoming album, HardSpeed. It serves as the opening text crawl more or less. It has a little more orchestral flair than most of the other HardSpeed music. Part of this is due to the main character of this album, Sydney, being a cello player. (Don't worry, Capel still appears.)
I've been working on something big-ish behind the scenes related to HardSpeed as a whole, and this song was definitely a good step in getting it started. For now, expect a new album out sometime this summer!

Ignition

This is the first track off my new album, HardSpeed https://leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/hardspeed which, as you can see, is up for sale now! There are a few tracks on it that are not on SoundCloud. Please consider supporting my work, and enjoy the music! ♥

Transdimensional Gear: Hardspeed

This is the theme for the intro stage of Cassie. She's the second playable character in Star Buster! https://twitter.com/Starbuster_Game
...and also the source of 90% of the inside jokes in the devteam. Her gameplay style is really unique, too! I actually reversed the melody used in Lab 19 (Alpha's intro stage) for part of this song.

Spannerquest 40000

Part 2 of Cassie's intro stage from Star Buster. https://twitter.com/Starbuster_Game
All Cassie wanted was a gigantic wrench! Instead, now she's got explosions and horrifying monsters roaming around like they own the place. Not exactly a great day for her or the crew of the Petrov.

Spannerquest 2 [Gone Wrong] [Gone Explodey]

'nother song from Star Buster! https://twitter.com/Starbuster_Game
This is the theme for the Petrov, a small-ish ship crewed by a sparse-but-hardy (and also pretty moody!) crew. It's been Cassie's home for a long time. It's fixing to be Alpha's new home, too... Almost.
