OPUS ARTE
Music by Overdrive
Guitars by Brian Butts
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.

Under another track of mine, I asked Spacey Panda in the comments if she wanted to do French spoken vocals. Shortly after, she sent me the vocals and I added some music, mixed and mastered it and did the artwork. And here we are. I always wanted to make a track with French vocals and now it came to life. I hope you guys enjoy the track.

Lyrics by Spacey Panda

C'est une symphonie ou le chaos règne
Les mots, résonnent, echos d'une peine
Tel un écho des temps
Une mélodie du mal
Dans les méandres de mon âme en émoi
S'écrit l'histoire d'un amour qui se noie
Telle une alchimiste, je cherche en vain, à capturer l'éphémère entre mes mains
Dans cet océan d'émoi, de sensations
Nos désirs, sont des flammes qui dansent dans la nuit
Consumant tout sur leur passage
Sans bruit
Nous entraient dans un tourbillon enhivrant
Où la passion est reine,
Ou tout est vibrant

C'est une symphonie - feat. Spacey Panda

A time for us some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied
Can flourish as we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

A time for us at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me


Live: A Time For Us (Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet)

This is my second attempt at orchestrating the Seaworthy melody, this time enhanced with better instruments, professional DAW, more experience and a lot more effort (3 months)
---
I thought about it again and again: why keep working on a song and release it with high hopes when the world around me is so depressing, pessimistic and genocidal?
Only because it is helping me fight against my own depression, my pessimism and my hopelessness. It's making the world a little less crap; and perhaps it can make other people also feel a little less bad.
