Mimika Orchestra Drop Stunning New Video “Zrcalo / Mirror” Ahead Of Album Release

With their new video “Zrcalo / Mirror”, Croatia’s Mimika Orchestra deliver a haunting, cinematic meditation where collapsing cityscapes give way to hidden forests, nature reclaiming space in a world of fragility and renewal. The track is a powerful prelude to their forthcoming album Medzotermina, promising another chapter in their genre-defying journey.

Formed in London in 2010 and now rooted in Zagreb, Mimika Orchestra is unlike any other. Under the direction of visionary composer Mak Murtic, the ensemble weaves together the vast threads of world music, Balkan heritage, and contemporary jazz into a singular sonic fabric. Their music pulses with tradition, yet constantly ventures forward, creating spaces where the ancestral meets the avant-garde.

“Zrcalo / Mirror” invites listeners to witness destruction and rebirth, to hear echoes of history while stepping into the unknown. As Mimika Orchestra prepares to unveil Medzotermina, this release confirms their place as a collective that doesn’t just play music, but builds worlds, connecting past and future through rhythm, voice, and vision.

Mimika Orchestra - ALTUR MUR

Ein bisschen Neugier muss man schon mitbringen und die Bereitschaft, sich der Musikwelt von Mimika Orchestra zu öffnen. Tut man das, wird man reich belohnt mit vielfältigen Gefühlen und Klängen und außergewöhnlichen Stimmen. Der Sound ist mitunter fast sinfonisch, es gibt aber auch Stücke, die sehr reduziert und intim sind.
Das Jazz-Orchester #MimikaOrchestra kommt aus #Kroatien. Altur Mur bedeutet „Der Altar des Meeres“.
