Symphony of Shifting Tides Redux

Fighting Elza is a tricky proposition, and a task not often taken on. Whether she's on the bridge of the Teneritas guiding her crew, in her Exshell, 'Megalode,' or on foot, she has a tendency to completely disappear and she never seems to be quite where you think she is. Feared by some, beloved by many, she's classified as an S-Class level threat in the Earth Federation's jurisdiction.
There has only ever been one other S-Class threat.
Why yes that *is* a reference to an Elancia song. Can you guess which?

Vs Elza

Intro track for my upcoming album HardSpeed: Love is Never Over. It serves as an OP of sorts. I'm still unhappy with how the sax sounds in some parts, so I'm likely to screw with that before release. Enjoy!

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

Crafty Smile [2025]

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!

以前、SPFM Lightと OPNA&OPM用に mmldrvで制作したメタルホーク BGM4のデータの FMパートを、全チャンネル NBV4で鳴るようにサクッと改造してみました。
（元データはこちら https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNyHKc2tcVM ）
若干音量バランスが OPM&OPNAのものと変わっているような…？
そんなわけで(?)、OPNAはPCMしか使っていないという豪華な演奏になりました（ｗ

SOUNDSHOCK is back to conclude the FM FUNK trilogy. FM FUNK NIRVANA!! brings you 16 new tracks by 19 uniquely talented musicians, from four different continents, using an arsenal of 17 different hardware and software FM synthesizers. 

Although this release marks the end of the series, our hope is that we’ve inspired listeners and musicians enough to carry our message further, and to keep reinventing FM sounds for decades to come! "That is", in the words of Tsuyoshi Shimokura, "not a sad thing." No indeed; rather, we believe this calls for celebration: let’s get it started!

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