I'm generating a few fugue parts for a new album separate from the metal opera project (the metal opera has become my "duke nukem forever" at this point).

Rescued demo tape of Overture (my first progressive metal project). As a former member having consulted the other contactable members, we decided releasing these songs here was the best thing since the band has been broken up for nearly 8 years now. We have studio cuts and live cuts of this song, but this is a super-rare practice tape that actually sounds pretty good.

A classic synth effect explored with a number of progressions.

This theme could come in for act 1 as a daydream scene, or it could work for Act 2 Scene 3 (the Love scene). I hate slow love scene music, and obviously any metal opera needs something a bit punchier.

In this scene, Melodius rehabs with the girl that thawed him from the stone prison.

In the end of Act 2 Scene 1, Melodius is thawed from the stone. I imagine this theme would be the actual thawing theme.
