Blinding track mate. Inventive production and infectious melody

IBM - a hypnotic LOFI track with an IDM drone and emotional lyric, launched by deep bass and drifting guitars. Written and recorded in Belgrade Serbia, the song is inspired by McDead’s amazing dad, a www2 combat vet turned teacher, who led many local peaceful protests against nuclear weapons in the UK after WW2 ended in nukes. The heartfelt guitar and vocal nods hard to those Cold War years of fear for the future.

Narration by Megwaf

In the 1980s, Brazilian TV aired episodes of an anime called King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. However, some episodes mistakenly came without a soundtrack, which forced the dubbing studio to use instrumental music by artists such as Vangelis, Basil Poledouris and Rick Wakeman to fill the lack of music. That's how, around the age of 10, I had my first contact with Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth.

The impact was unbelievable. All the kids at school were praising the anime's epic soundtrack, unaware that this was the result of a mistake that had only happened in Brazil.

Influenced by the anime's soundtrack, I started using my pocket money to buy vinyl records by these artists - and that's when I bought Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth album. The epic orchestrated intro, the wonderful choirs, the exciting narration and the rock music in the middle of the track, everything was fantastic.

Opus Arte is strongly influenced by Journey to the Center of the Earth. The orchestral sections are complemented by elements of electronic music. Brian Butts' incredible guitar solos embellish the rock sections. And Megwaf's phenomenal narration sets the perfect mood for the listener's imagination.

Hope you enjoy the song.

Every time I hear this melody, I can't help but think of you Jazzy June. I think back to those sweet and delicate moments when you wandered along the paths of the Blue Mountains. The beauty of your curves oscillated like a metronome to the beat of my heart.

After achieving victory in the 'Sound of Summer' contest hosted on Metapop (The last year it was active), I am thrilled to finally share my winning song with the world on SoundCloud. This track embodies the warmth and nostalgia of summertime. A harmonious blend of sunshine and melody, capturing the essence of summer in every note.

The lyrics are very cliche ;-) . But its taken out of context of a full song, too fit in for a summer song. The full song will probably be released in the next decade.

"FourThirtySeven" from Siegfried Jünger's album "A World That Turns Away" is cinematic background music. With a blend of piano and synth, it creates a mesmerizing atmosphere. The track's ethereal textures and rhythmic patterns guide listeners through mysterious landscapes, evoking introspection and exploration. Perfect for cinematic storytelling, it captures the beauty of introspective moments with its emotive depth.

McDead is the musical vehicle of London born producer and archaeologist Kev Edinborough - currently based in Melbourne and travelling all over. His writing is heavily influenced by the alternative/electronic scene he grew up with working as roadie and then guitarist back in 1990's South East England, playing dozens of dodgy and later not so dodgy venues, before going back to college, getting a PhD and being an archaeologist when not making music. Hard to nail down, McDead draws inspiration from Captain Beefheart and Extreme Noise Terror as much as Steve Reich, Jimi Hendrix and Mr Bill.

The first McDead album was recorded in Melbourne with Plastic Jungle Records at Laneway Studios, with a limited vinyl release pressed at Zenith Records which sold out in 2021. Thanks for all your support!
