After a first degree in literature at a university in Tokyo, she left for England, earning a doctorate in philosophy and intellectual history from the University of Oxford. She then entered academia.
Ortansia's first love, however, has always been singing and writing songs. On a year's sabbatical in Vienna, Ortansia was much influenced by the city and its beautiful surrounds and composed some 100 songs there. Many are songs of love, and fall into the adult contemporary/delicate pop category, although some of these songs are soft jazz in style. 12 of these songs can now be heard on her Silent Heart CD. Through these songs, she wishes to reach the heart of the listener.
A little about the songs on the Silent Heart CD:
1 CAFE WINDOW:
Outside, it's raining. A girl passes, stops at a cafe and finds a man who looks like the man she loved. She opens the door of the cafe and enters the smoke-filled room. People look at her. She enters, and the music starts. . .
This song was chosen as a FINALIST in the prestigious VH1 Save the Music 'Song of the Year' songwriting competition (Houston, Texas) in 2005, and Ortansia was praised by the judges for her 'exeptionable' songwriting skills.
2 LOVE SONG:
A girl is in love with a boy who doesn't even notice her existence. She sings that her love is like the moon reflected on the pond. It is there and it shines, but you can't even touch it. The instruments on this track express beautifully the girl's love.
3 SPANISH GUITAR:
A traveller hears somebody playing a Spanish guitar. It is nearly midnight in Seville. Melancholy captures the heart and she falls in love. Where does this lead to? Only his guitar knows.
4 FROM YOUR DEEP DARK EYES:
Her fate is his deep dark eyes. She has been looking for him all her life. The sun rises in his eyes. Happiness and sadness reside in his eyes. She cannot stop looking into his dark eyes.
5 SILENT HEART:
It is not love: it's just an illusion of her heart. It cannot be love. It's wrong of her heart to start loving him . . .
6 SUMMER IN VIENNA:
It is a very hot summer in Vienna. He has left Vienna and she is all alone in the city. Everything looks different now. Everything has lost
