Name: Toward The Edge by Leilani Wilson
Duration: 4 min 48 s
Description: It was pretty difficult for me to go back to this track and bring it into HardSpeed, considering where I was at mentally when I wrote the original. That said, it worked out surprisingly well. I'm a tad iffy on some of the mixing, so I might wiggle the sounds around before release. We'll see.

Really loving this track! That lead guitar is super catchy! I probably wouldn't have even noticed any issues with the mixing if you didn't point it out, but since you did, yeah I'll admit it does sound a bit busy at times.

This part gets me so pumped up, incredible energy

The feeling of not being sure what to do.

Ambivalence

Figured I'd fix up the old mining song from a few albums ago, 'cause I never liked how that one came out. I first wrote it back in 2010? 2011? And every time I made it, it was kinda neat, but never quite *right* until today. Enjoy.

Mine Sector 4B

I've had this kicking around on my harddrive for a while now. I couldn't quite figure out what I wanted to do with it, or how I wanted it to sound for a while. I decided to just upload it in its most recent state. Enjoy!

Toward The Edge

Ridley's theme, here, took me a while to get right. I'm pretty happy with the results, though. A day of listening to Asia got me in the right place creatively.

Did you know my latest album is out? You can grab it here: https://leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/hardspeed-passion-and-warfare

I forgot to upload this track to SC as it was made a few hours before the album released! So here it is now.

HardSpeed: Passion and Warfare

Get the album here!

Flight to the Razorback

I've already started on my next album. Hoping to have it out by winter. Here's a song about investigating both lore and crime scenes (possibly at the same time.)

Ghost Ship [Day]

More Return to Aloha stuff! I'd say the album's finally nearing completion. This one, like many of the other tracks on the album is a re-do of a track from the first album. Engineering gets two themes, although this particular theme is more specifically for one engineer rather than the department as a whole, for those who care about the lore of this series of albums.  Anyway, rambling aside, some folks might recognize bits of this from Strut The Mall, which is a partial reprise of it.

Haze Does Work

I finally got around to touching this track up as I was finalizing all the files for Return to Aloha! We're all set for a July 14th release date on the album, which will release alongside The Bad Friend, the other project I've had cooking for a while.
This song was originally going to be the main 'overworld' theme for Return to Aloha, but what with combining in Hardspeed Divide and all that, I ended up just sort of making only a night and day version and calling it good. This day version has fought me for ages! So glad it's finally done!

Swimming Through The Dark [Day]

So, as I've probably been mentioning a lot, both the second Elancia album and book, Symphony of Hunted Truths, have released (let me know if you picked up either!) That means I'm well on my way into working on the third. This is the "OP" for the as-of-yet-untitled book 3. While the OPs for the first two books were a lot more upbeat (and both shared some leitmotifs) the third book (and third album) have their own mood. I wanted to set the tone for that right off the bat with a much more emotional/slower opening theme.  This song actually first appeared on Roadtrips, of all places, although some Elancia leitmotifs are mixed in. Enjoy! Art of Verse is by Renz!
