So I was listening to this track in the background and I thought it was very unique. I couldnt believe it was actually you since you have a style I usually recognize pretty fast in the first few seconds. Well done!

Good dynamics: there is heaviness and lightness in this track. Creates a positive overall mood! 😎

Awesome ambiance! You outdone yourself on this one. "Bottled 80s"? lol :D

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.

HardSpeed Project

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

Hand In Hand We Face The Dawn (Instrumental)

Artwork by @TunesofDusky
Alternate take on https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/swimming-through-the-dark-early-wip This is much closer to the original idea I had in my mind for the song than what came out before.
I actually like this one a lot better, too, but as with most tracks on Capel albums, there'll be multiple versions of this one anyway. :V  I'm slowly but surely chipping away at The Bad Friend (my next album) along with the next Capel album (where this song and its partner will live!) I'll be working more on those after I finish up the book-related projects.

Swimming Through The Dark [Night]

From my upcoming album, Return to Aloha. Part of the Capel series of albums. This is one of the variants of the "fight" theme from it. I needed to do a couple because it's going to be a pretty big album, so instead of just having one big "showdown" song at the end, I wanted to have a few for various conflicts throughout. This particular one includes bits of "Lost Girl." There's a few things I'd like to fix on this before the album comes out. (Shooting for late spring/early summer with this one.)

Clouded Moonlit Rendezvous

Uploading on hotel internet, so we'll see how this goes... Also, art's by Renz! 
This is another of the "battle" themes from my upcoming album Return to Aloha (one of the Capel albums, a story about a laser-staff wielding space-monster nurse.) This one covers conflicts less emotional than https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/clouded-moonlit-rendezvous . I guess you could call it the standard battle theme if all the Capel albums were a game's storyline.
Which is totally not something I've been poking at.

Evenhanded Rendezvouz

Another updated track from the Adventures of Capel's earlier albums. I'll likely be including this one on the Return to Aloha album due out sometime in Spring as a bonus track or something. Includes the leitmotif from Technology (as does most of the AoC series, now that I think about it. <_>; )

C-O-R-E-2

Still hard at work on my next 80s album, Return to Aloha.
Between promoting the release of my book and getting the race car ready, my life has been INSANE. I've barely had time to work, and I apologize for how long the album is taking to come out, but I promise it will be worth your time! 
For now, enjoy this track about corporate espionage. Or aerobics. Both? BOTH!

Burn 1C

This one was interesting... I wanted to fuse the sound of an RPG song (read: I've been marathoning the hell out of the Suikoden series again,) with the 80s sounds of Capelspace (since this song is from Return to  Aloha.) In the end, I'm pretty happy with it, even though it's a lot different than the rest of the album! This is the song for when Capel and her friends (or whoever is unlucky enough to be roped into one of her misadventures) explore caves.
Keen listeners will recognize this one from the original Planet Aloha album.

Last WIP from Return to Aloha for now! I'm gonna buckle down and get the album out this month. This was the title track from the second Capel album I was developing (yep, there were two!) ...Which ended up becoming one giant album. So what you're really going to be getting when Return to Aloha releases is both Return to Aloha and its Hardspeed Divide all in one.
HardSpeed Divide was focused more around space combat and Capel dealing with the federation falling apart around her, whereas Return to Aloha was focused on Capel dealing with her memories of Aloha, espionage and her previous human life.  Should make for an interesting mix of moods.

Hardspeed Divide

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

Finally! Got Roy's theme squared away. Out of all the Hardspeed songs, this one's given me the most trouble. It's just upbeat enough, I think! The concept sketches of Roy are by Renz.
Here's to a better 2020.

Viceroy

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

I honestly wasn't entirely happy with how the day rendition of Technology came out back when I did it on Return to Aloha. I'm a lot more pleased with the outcome of this one, though. This one gives off more factory vibes to me, while not sacrificing its 80sness or its JRPG-ness. It's likely I'll replace that one with this one when it comes time for THE PROJECT™. We'll see!
Since THE PROJECT™ (actual name: not that) isn't probably going to be in a showable state until around 2022, I'll probably have it figured out by then. I'll also probably have another HardSpeed album out this year which will include this song along with a lot of other new goodies.

Technology [Evening]

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

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! ♥
