“January Eleven” was composed on January 11, 2025, while devastating fires were raging near the Los Angeles area. On that day, a displaced family found refuge in my home, their spirits unwavering despite uncertain circumstances. Their optimism stood in stark contrast to the looming threat of the flames, reminding me how quickly our comforts can slip away. This neoclassical solo piano piece channels the turmoil into a soothing, reflective sound, evoking both the fragility of our possessions and the strength of a community that unites in times of crisis. It’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of compassion.

"Crescent Moon” was originally inspired by the first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata - a piece I’ve always been fascinated by. There’s something timeless in the way it draws so much emotion from such simple material. That quality is at the heart of what I was trying to explore.

Mirko Mica is a self-taught piano composer who discovered his passion for music at the age of 17. He learned to play the piano purely by ear, without any formal training, and quickly fell in love with the instrument. What started as a hobby soon became a serious pursuit, with the encouragement of his friends and the inspiration he drew from minimalist piano composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yiruma, and Yann Tiersen while incorporating new and innovative sounds influenced by his love for house music. 

Mirko's goal is to create music that makes people pause for a moment and reconnect with themselves, breaking away from the constant stream of content we consume daily. He believes that music has the power to transport listeners to a different world and evoke powerful emotions, and strives to create music that resonates with his audience.
