Info for Mirage

In Mirage—his fourth album with Prima Classic—Anders Miolin shows us what are arguably his most contemplative and intimate pieces to date. Purposely written in different locations, these works are powerful evocations of memories, times, places and emotions collected by this most unique and erudite composer.


The pieces display an extraordinary palette of musical colors obtained through different tunings of the Dodeka guitar and Anders’ creative use of his own musical idiom.

An album that will surprise for its uncommon sound, at times contemplative, at times suggestive, or vivid, but always original.

“The landscape can lead one into paths that one did not expect.


One should not struggle against the will of the music itself but try to gratefully follow the intelligence and direction of the subconscious. In stillness, we can avoid the noise and distractions of modern life that disrupts our connection to this wise source… These works reflect my inner universe, emerging from stillness.”

"In Anders Miolin we are confronted with a true artist, who makes us forget that he is also a virtuoso because he has mastered that unusual quality and virtue called poetry." (Leo Brouwer, composer, conductor)
