A melodic, not so abrasive indie pop song about the enigmatic ravens. 

This birds has an important symbolism in many culture, due to his very distinctive look. I found it interesting, as it’s often associated with negative connotations because of its plumage that shines so black, suggesting it was born from the night and the darkness, but it has also been granted great power and is a symbol of mystery and memory. 
Ravens are also known to be one of the world smartest birds, often compared to dolphins and chimpanzees, able to solve problems, remember how people treated them and plan for future events. 
And we know it, the cleverest are also often the most miserable ones, being less likely to be satisfied and especially prone to depression... 

This song is dedicated to them, people and raven, the desperate ones, the sad souls, those who haven’t laugh for too long... and to all of us who could develop into one of them, by becoming too arrogant, too goal orientated and simply too complicated before simply slippering into night, darkness and death. 
Enjoy! And promise me to smile after that, clear your mind, and give a chance to your desires and hopes for a while.

Vrány

Geralt is wandering the path, it's a snowy landscape and a blizzard is brewing. On his way to find shelter he notices birds circling an area in the forest, there he finds the corpse of merchants and a young woman, he follows the path and ends up near an abandoned mansion.

The Path

This Nocturne, or at least its main themes, represents my first true attempt at composing on the piano several years ago. I composed or improvised a bunch of fragments and musical ideas together with the basic framework of the Nocturne.

As I've already implied in the description of my Fantasy, the two compositions were once conjoined when I finally decided to separate them and develop them independently. However, besides sharing the same key, a lot of textural fragments are still shared that can be noticed, and I bluntly quoted the main theme of the fantasy as a homage to their shared heritage. Personally, I'm particularly fond of the A-major melodic line starting at 0:38, which I consider one of the smoothest and most beautiful melodies I've written so far. Considering the hammering intro, it is one of the last additions I've made for this nocturne, and it helped me with a lot of structural problems. As with my other compositions, further changes will likely happen down the line.

I dedicate this work to another of my great friends, Ivan Dadić, a masterful smith, who once gifted me a beautiful crusader helmet he crafted (he even took measurements of my head for the undertaking). I humbly hope this endeavor will honour the gift he blessed me with!

Vista Mare wants to take you and transports you into a carefree world, to youth, where it took 2 beers and a guitar on a beach to be happy. Vista Mare is that song born by a chance, like a friendship, a love. Left for to long inside me, has now taken over. Vista Mare is a country /blues/rock song that mixes the past with the present, without forgetting the melodies.

"Silicon(e) Dream" is a seductive alt-rock track that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. With a haunting groove and hypnotic hook, it tells the story of a man engrossed in a digital romance—with someone who may be AI, surgically sculpted, or simply too perfect to be real.

Here comes a shortened version of my brand new improvisation. This one is a bit serious, but I still hope that you like it. I played and recorded it today. Just pure piano performance. My improvisations are always "free", meaning that I play without any concept. The music is most spontaneous. Please enjoy and share! You can find the full version here, too. Unfortunately
Soundcloud limits recommendations to ten minutes playtime. Some of my improvisations are much longer and I am not willing to limit myself into any algorithm !!!!

Mind Terror

A self-taught composer, who has found his voice in older and traditional forms and styles of music.
Currently mostly composing for piano, but I have grand ambitions for writing chamber music and symphonies.
My music has a lot of variety in a way that expresses all kinds of sentiments, both intrapersonal and extrapersonal, kept in a cohesion by an underlying narrative; every composition is its own journey or a adventure, and I invite any guests who stumble upon my page to take part in it. 
All my music so far is written in Sibelius 7 (recordings of live performace coming down the line)
My music is available for purchase on Bandcamp: https://dinoljubi.bandcamp.com/music
Sometimes I might write an essay or two:
