Spavati, možda sanjati

SPAVATI, MOŽDA SANJATI (Croatia Records 2017) To Sleep, Perchance to Dream is a meditative and subtle album, but it is also an album steeped in emotins and created by a musician that makes all material his own - never simply imitating or building upon someone else's vision. Stylistically, the music is multi-dimensional and evokes a sense of personal expression free of genre definitions.

Aritmia

ARITMIA (Skrga Music 2016) with accordionist Merima Ključo - draws from a variety of material ranging from Bartok, de Falla and Satie to complex Balkan folk themes that feature unusual rhythmic, metric and melodic structures.

LULKA (Third Ear 01/03) "Lulka", meaning "The Cradle", is a fruit of Miroslav's collaboration with the legendary Macedonian singer Vanja Lazarova.

Bracha

BRACHA (CMP 34) with John Bergamo (percussion), David Philipson (bansuri-north Indian bamboo flute) and Mark Nauseef (guest percussionist and co-producer). This 1988 release was the very first record I ever made and I hold the time I spent in "Bracha" very close to my heart. It was an exciting musical adventure and a foundation for much of my later work. This recording showcases Bracha's elegant and graceful style in a distinctive form of World Music that unites the musical heritages of Eastern Europe, North and South India and the Americas.
