This track is the 11th and last movement of the upcoming theatrical album dubbed "A Place Glowing a Brilliant Red" about a future human society on Mars.

Storyboard of this tune is as follows:
A Martian ship in the future is exploring Earth (these Martians actually descend from Earthlings but are unaware of their ancestors) . As they come close to Earth with their spaceship they send data and other messages back to Mars. 

Soon they realise Earth's orbit is full of artificial garbage and they are hit by one of the metal objects stuck in a practically infinite orbit. They fall and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. They say their last goodbye to Mars whilst realising this is actually where they come from, therefore they are ashes and dust.

For those interested, a strong reference for the album is Jared Diamond's book Collapse and Robert Zubrin's dreamy idea of a Terraformed Mars.

The soloists are Andrew Linham on Clarinet and Sam Warner on Trumpet.

Mimika MME is a multicultural London based modern jazz orchestra. It has been described as a mixture of Sun Ra, Balkan music, theatre, Duke Ellington and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Their lead vocal has been dubbed the "Croatian Flora Purim" and one of the reviews called their musical style "Balkan Space Jazz".

Mimika played on the London Jazz Festival 2012, the Olympic Festivals, and regularly gigs on London's underground and overground scenes.

Mimika - The Earthlings (From A Place Glowing A Brilliant Red)

This track is the 4th movement of the upcoming theatrical album dubbed "A Place Glowing a Brilliant Red" about a future human society on Mars.

Storyboard of this tune is as follows:

A human colony on Mars, comparable to that of North America in the 17th Century, goes through a set of economic problems that lead to the shut-down of trading routes with Earth. This in turn leads to the collapse of the society itself that is fully reliant on trade.

However, Mars is at this point an Earthlike terraformed planet and will remain so for the foreseeable future, therefore life does survive, people do too, but how does the society restructure itself?

For those interested, a strong reference for the album is Jared Diamond's book Collapse and Robert Zubrin's dreamy idea of a Terraformed Mars.

The soloists are Patrick Kenny on the trombone and Rob Milne on bass clarinet.

MIMIKA - A Place Glowing A Brilliant Red

In a future human colony on Mars electronic stores become theme park entertainment and every train punctually arrives to its destination. It is a utopian world full of wonderful products that fill the human spirit with meaning and vitality!

Mr. Bela Bartok gave some of his tritonal spirits to a metal doom guitarist by the name of Elvis Penava, or is he a jazz man ? Depends on the nickname! His exploration is followed by a trombone expedition to the farthest reaches of the Martian deserts by mr Luka Žužić.

This is played by the Croatian National TV Big Band / Jazz Orkestar HRT and recorded for the Croatian Radio Archive in 2013.
