Song of Sorrow is a composition from the upcoming concept album "Divinities of the Earth and the Waters" which deals with the human condition, love, loss, myths and struggle. The story is set in the preindustrial Balkans and in the fashion of the late Sergei Parajanov follows a story of one individual both through his reality and through his imagined perception, from young adulthood to his own funeral.

Dr.Smeđi Šećer - Ča Wah Wah [MIK rare grooves 1965-1981]. 

OŠTIJA! Nakon 4 godine potrage dovršio sam jedan kolaž inspiriran mojim krajem i vrelom raritetnih ploča lokalne festivalske karavane Melodije Istre i Kvarnera. Nakon što sam jednom prilikom ubrao masni 'Ča je more' break na festivalskom singlu proširio sam potragu na ostala izdanja i začudio sam se koliko je bilo funky numera na ovom festivalu u prošlosti. MIK je specifičan festival, ponajviše zbog korištenja lokalnog melosa i poprilično psihodelične istarske ljestvice, a onda i zbog toga što su festivalske ploče izdavane u malim nakladama i mogu se pronaći samo na MIK lokalitetima. Između masnih grooveova i brejkova ima naravno i onih momenata koji čine MIK, MIK-om. Ala šu!

Pagan II (1996)  	 	

12 mins. for orchestra (3 picc.3.3.3 - 4.3.3.1 - piano, percussion (5) - 16.14.12.10.8)  
First performed by the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Naohiro Totsuka, Tokyo City Opera Concert Hall Tokyo, November 1997. 

A BBC Radio 3 broadcast with the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies followed in February 2000 (this recording).     

For me, Pagan II is undoubtedly the most frightening, austere work I have ever composed. It is a personal glimpse into the abyss. The music has a ritualistic feel to it, as if some huge arcane and barbaric ceremony was being witnessed, and the participants of the ceremony were being, in turn, entranced through hypnotic 'dance', and brutalised through music which is violent, both rhythmically and harmonically. Pagan II is not intended to be a desolate pronouncement on our future, rather a glimpse of the unthinkable. Both Pagan I and II can be performed as a complete work.
