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.

You and me. Us. Them. Nights of endless possibility. That's how we used to live. Before all this. The world was ours. It still is. In a different way.

Breeze With U

102 FINAL FANTASY XIII - The Promise

116 FINAL FANTASY XIII - The Sunleth Waterscape

118 FINAL FANTASY XIII - Lake Bresha

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

A theme for a large, industrialized capital city in that one personal project thingy. :V

Shadowed Moon[SOUTH]

I've had this one sitting around on my hard drive for a while. It's a town/village theme for the Elancia book series. This one focuses on a small, snowy town in the high desert mountains (and the surrounding environs.) 

A lone gunfighter with a still-weeping wound wanders into town in search of a ruthless gang of bandits, leaving bloody footprints in his wake.

Make my wish come true, let darkness slip aside

Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere

Final Fantasy 13 Serah's Theme Extended Version

Cumulonimbus Incus

just decided to upload this track for anyone who have not listened to this amazing track

P4GA - Ying Yang

tomoko

It ain't much, but it's home...

From my next album (as of this post,) which will hopefully be done in winter!

Little rowhouse

A conversation with a distant self.

Yet another track from my next upcoming album. It includes a couple of little nods to earlier HardSpeed songs.

Wandering Maiden

Theme for a much younger, less hardened Elza. Back before her royalty was obliterated, and before she lost her eye.

Space Princess

Another day on the job for Elza and Nael.

OnTheJob

Another track from my album HardSpeed Cross. Definitely one of the moodier tracks. I tried combining a lot of disparate elements here. I ended up quite liking how it sounded. This song more or less is to set the mood of the album, so it'll probably be a pretty early track. Art is by Renz, lead illustrator of HardSpeed and Elancia. https://twitter.com/Azureikaru

Elza has a lot on her mind. She's investigating a string of bizarre violent murders, her family is starting to fall apart, her sister was nearly killed, and her fear of nightmares has her addicted to drugs that prevent sleep. Worst of all, a huge golden monster lurks within her, one the government has taken interest in -- and one who may just be the murderer Elza's been chasing all along.

A M 4 N - NAMCORE[6-N163]

One of the final tracks I've finished off my upcoming (Oct 18th 2024) album HardSpeed Cross. This one took a while... I'd been planning it since early in the album but didn't know what direction to take it. Oh well, here it is!
-
Elza knows that the killer she's tracking may very well be herself. The evidence is beginning to point that way. The only thing stopping her from ending herself to stop the killings is the fact that she has an alibi for every murder, which means...

Wish Now by Star Darlings

After two weeks with improper sleeps, finally the track is done! This track is available on Bandcamp for now, it'll be available on iTunes store & Spotify by next week.

Special thanks to Lion's Heart Production who did the mastering for this track, and to Kai Rathsack the owner of Epic Music World, Alex Moukala, Efisio Cross & Feisal Kassim, who inspired me to finish this track.

This song was composed based on a story wrote by the author AngelaTL, the story will be available on her TheProse.com soon.

I can finally move on and work on the next new track!

Sham Stalin - Spellborn

Sorry for the long hiatus between posts! Right now, I'm focusing on my book. I'm probably going to redo this from scratch as parts of it don't really 'work' for me, but we'll see. (I mean, I ripped myself off with the guitar solo towards the end. Oof.)
I do hope you enjoy this WIP off of an album due sometime next year. (Read: After The Bad Friend releases, which is going to be a while away, 'cause the book comes first!) This track is off the next of the 'Capel Albums' as I've taken to calling them -- the first of which was Planet Aloha.

Swimming Through The Dark [Day / Early WIP]

Return to Aloha is about 80% done now. This track here is a reprise of the Cafeteria theme from the original Planet Aloha album.  Now it's been extended to not just be the cafeteria, but also the rec center. Colony members need a place to unwind, exercise, and play handball or swim laps, after all! 
There's all sorts of weird disparate elements in this one, but I feel it's mostly cohesive! Enjoy!

To Sleep, Dreaming (Contour 2)

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

At First

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

The album is out!! https://leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/hardspeed
I did an alternate take on Elza's theme, please don't hate me. D:
Artwork of Elza about to space-pirate-laser-sword someone to death is by Renz, crudely colored by me. "Space Mom" is what Capel calls Elza, hence the title.

HardSpeed

Get the album here!!!

Space Mom

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 song for the second level of both characters in Star Buster https://twitter.com/Starbuster_Game which I'm working on along with some other really talented musicians! 
Alpha and Cassie have to navigate a long-abandoned planet. What are they in search of? Reckon you'll have to find out. SAGE is coming up, after all.
