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

And today on "tracks that I couldn't get done in time for HardSpeed divide," we have this fun funk piece I was working on for a hydroelectric dam under construction. The area around it has really weird weather, and strange plants grow in the spots that aren't just a sandy wasteland. Capel had better be careful!

HydroElectric

New HardSpeed song!
This is a reprise of one of my Elancia tunes of which a few of you might remember. While this is the 'daytime' arrangement of said song, it's never too bright in the mystery sector. Usually the trees and mountains block out the sun. This is a pretty slow/moody track for HardSpeed, but I actually quite enjoy making these with the weird, ambient sounds of the 80s.

Night time counterpart to:

The daytime arrangement didn't really give me as much of an 80s vibe as I wanted. I also wanted to make something dark and less cheery for night time. I also wanted to make the track 'build' over time. The beat takes a while to drop, and little bits are added as the song goes. 
The forest still glows at night, but the glow is more intense. It, like most other places on Aloha just feels ... 'off.' Eerie. Tread lightly, Capel!

Mystery Sector [Night]

So, DJ Cutman made an awesome remix of a Star Tropics song. I watched his live stream remix on youtube and wouldn't you know it the song got stuck in my head so I figured I'd give my own arrangement of it a shot. it ended up sounding quite a bit more funky than the original. I guess you could call it something like Ristar Tropics ha ha ha.  This one's for you DJcutman! I hope you enjoy it :). Keep doing what you're doing man. It's awesome :). Also, free downloads for all :D! Thanks for listening everyone. Later :D.

CHANGE

Even if I missed the train (deadline) of the disquiet0719, it fits with, flirts with, the notion of time, timing, riding off the rails of the metronome -- a close listener will discern a distant tick of the 60bpm (the living room clock), l'horloge sinistre, the pulse of time being ultimately a matter of the heart of things, the clock may be dry or wet, molten or frozen, the metronome stuck on itself, liberated, djam karat (rubber time) or, as my friend Eryk Nowacki told me, kal, in Hindi, means both tomorrow and yesterday. Or was it, is it, will it be, the other way around. Only spider lady and coyote knows. Ceasul Meu is Romanian meaning My Clock.

Well, I mean, you knew this was coming (again.)

Art by Renz!
Between writing and working on commissions, I've been chipping away at this slowly. Even though this song won't play until book 2, it's been on my mind while I work on the first one. This song is a bit of a medley, and has bits of Verse's theme, a bit of Transformation, and a bit of the Sea Goddess' Temple theme in it!

 I'm still not 100% sure on how I feel about it, considering the night theme is meant to stretch across three eras of the story, but I've got a while to think about it.

She plays the guitar to think. She plays the guitar to forget.

Not sure if I'd consider this anywhere near 'finished,' but I wanted to share it. Artwork is by Renz!

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
