The Earthlings

About the Album

Mimika is set somewhere in Outer Space, but realises its dreams in London (UK). It is a 16 piece Balkan Space Orchestra (big band for the youth, a mixture of Sun Ra, Duke Ellington, Balkan Folk Music, Neo Soul and Urban Hip Hop alongside everything else) run by the young composer Mak Murtić and involving a multicultural group of humans. The band is currently presenting a new project about a future Martian civilization of humans and possible Earth's society collapse. Mimika has performed on the London Jazz Festival 2012, The London Olympic Festivals, Pizza Express Jazz Club, Richmix, Total Refreshment Centre, Hootananny's, The Bussey Building and other venues in London, UK as well as Croatia. A Place Glowing a Brilliant Red (exp. 2014) is a studio concept album with influences ranging from hip hop, neo soul, jazz, metal, Balkan brass, contemporary experimental, east Asian folk music, radio dramas and others. It is currently being mixed and will be available in the beginning of 2014.
