Amazing arrangement…wait is that Elza theme leitmotif here or?

Symphony of Shifting Tides Redux

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.

Falling down
won't get up
guess I'll lay here in the mud
it's been long enough
and I'm not that tough

Wear a mask
through my tasks
and pretend that it ain't cracked

'cause I'm damned without it on
and I may well be gone


Don't feel my best
Wish I'd feel less
This world is not made for me
No way forward I can see

Gonna cry less
or try my best
'cause that's just who I am these days
Fucking up in brand new ways

Trying hard
to let go
and I'm dreading getting close
It's been long enough
and I'm not that tough

Carry on you insist
while blood's dripping from my wrists
So I'll waste my endless time
with smiles and slant rhymes

Gonna cry less
or i'll try my best
this is of great cost to me 
wearing my heart on my sleeve

within me
still can't sleep
Shield me o apathy
don't let me cry don't let me bleed

struggling
with everything
What's my life and what's it mean
Contemplate reality

I need some rest,
I tried my best
If my heart should ever cease
I'll blow away with the breeze

Remastered another track for my upcoming album release Elancia: Symphony of Shifting Tides. This one is an arrangement of the main character, Verse's theme used for action-oriented scenes. It is an alternate arrangement of Rain Tears and Cigarettes, Verse's normal theme. https://soundcloud.com/leilani-r-wilson/rain-tears-and-cigarettes

Art is by Renz!

Completely redid this old track from the ground up. It's definitely a lot different than the one I did about 10 years ago (give or take,) but this one jives more with the mood I'm going for with this album. Enjoy!

I didn't originally intend to touch up the intro track to Symphony of Shifting Tides, but I felt it'd be wrong not to have touched up the very first track on the album -- especially considering all the older tracks will be upscaled MP3s.
I will say, though, I had no idea how insurmountable that'd be -- I don't have any of the software or even the computer I made the original on back in 201X. I actually had to do almost all of those from scratch based on what little MIDI data I could recover from the old MIDI I made in the 2000s. Long story short, it came out great! Different, but great. I didn't lean on the guitar in the intro as much (read: I omitted it completely) and am still iffy on that, but overall I think I got it sounding about as close as I can to the original. Enjoy!

Big thanks to Empyrean Aria for doing the violins on this track! This is one of the very last tracks for my upcoming album Symphony of Shifting Tides: Redux

Apparently this game's soundtrack is "under-appreciated"; it is so good that I have it - and several others - on my phone to play on long journeys. My first time using both the Namco 163 and RP2C33 chip in one module, a combination that I saw as relatively strange until I remembered that the latter is capable of frequency modulation.

Mushroom Argument [SID, 8580]

One of the 'dungeon' themes from ECO, used across various seasons/books/whateverIAmCallingThemJesusThisThingWillNeverGetFinishedSomeoneKillMePlease. Originally, I had used it for what became the train scene in season 1, as well as the Temple of Slumber in season 2.
My main inspiration was Motoi Sakuraba's work on the Star Ocean Series, although it might be a touch hard to tell. <_>;

Finally a shift away from HyperCanvas! I have recently bought and been using a Yamaha MU90, and my god I love this thing.

My submission to Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 8! I wanted to make a track that was relaxing but also had strong energy and groove. Made using Massive, FM Drive, Deflemask, Noisemaker, and Reaper. Check out the whole album here: https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes-win-volume-8
