にアレンジャー参加して作った時のオケトラックに、FF11のメロディをのせたもの。
（Aメロがサンドリア、Bメロがジュノ）

もともとフュージョン好きですが、なかなか作る機会は少なく「久しぶりにどフュージョンやってみよう！」と思いながら作りこんでいた曲でした。
音源的には、JVエキパンのMMスラップベース、NI BatteryのStudioDrumキット、EXS24にインポートしたHolyGrailピアノあたりを、この頃よく使ってました。

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

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!

To Get By

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

Long Ride [Feat. Empyrean Aria]

Emerging from a period of profound personal transformation, GOFF’S "Struggle, keep moving on," the poignant title track from his debut EP. This is not merely music; it is an auditory memoir of resilience, a chronicle of recovery forged in the fires of adversity.

Following a life-altering brain injury, the loss of his business, and the upheaval of multiple relocations, the artist found his anchor in the digital realm of sound. Music production became his daily therapy, a sacred space to process the struggle of rebuilding a life while navigating the complexities of his daughter's autism and ADHD diagnosis. Each synth line and every beat is a stepping stone on a path back to himself.

The track itself is a testament to this journey. It builds with tense, ascending synths that mirror the anxiety and effort of pushing forward, all driven by a relentless, rolling bassline that represents the unwavering will to persevere. The music breathes with dynamic breaks and erupts into euphoric drops, mapping the emotional landscape of despair, hope, and catharsis. It is, as the artist describes, "a real journey."

The project is imbued with a deeper, familial love. The powerful title, "Struggle, keep moving on," was gifted by his daughter, who also serves as the visual heart of the upcoming EP. The stunning album cover, featuring her sitting contemplatively on an unused railway line gazing into the distance, is a perfect metaphor: a young life on a path once traveled, now stilled, looking with quiet strength toward an unwritten future. It is a symbol of pause, reflection, and the immense potential that lies ahead.

"Struggle, keep moving on" is more than an electronic track; it is an anthem of survival. It’s a beacon for anyone in their own battle, a reminder that even on the most broken of tracks, we can find the strength to keep moving on.

Struggle…  keep moving on.

About This Track:
This began as a mixing assignment for my Music Technology College Course; as I dove 🌊 into the music, I uncovered an unexpected, luminescent connection to the melody and groove 🎶🥁✨

I am inspired to share this vibrant world I envisioned with you, here on 🌤️ SoundCloud. ❦

"...melodies awaken sensations of tropical bliss 🏝️, reflecting the essence of 'Frutiger Aero' and 'Solarpunk'— the dream of flourishing life 🪸🐠🐋 in a beautifully protected 🐚 natural world; where vibrant plants 🌺🦜, playful marine creatures 🐡, and healthy oceans 🪼🐬, all bask in the gentle embrace of warm sunshine..." 🌞

As we dream of this future, we also recognize the journey ahead. ⛵️
It’s a vision of the world we can create together, if we dare to aspire. I sincerely hope you do! 🌅

with love, - riley minteer 🦦
