👋 Hello! Here is Miha – the arranger of “Symphonic MUSE”, my present to my favourite band out there and their fans.

I'd like to share some background facts.
It all started in 1998 when MTV was still a thing. I fell in love with the Muse song “Uno” in style of a “heavy Tango” and due to its originality it stuck in my heart forever. I bought their album “Showbiz” and listened to it like a maniac. (Back then I was still not acquainted with classical music, I couldn't even properly read music). I recorded it on tape for our family car so my whole family could listen to the album and soon we all became Muse fans! Especially my mom went nuts. :) Later in 2006 my family and our closest friends went to their concert in Vienna and it was unforgettable.

Soon after my discovery of Muse I joined the Symphonic wind orchestra Ravne (my hometown orchestra which you can see performing in this video and which made this project possible) and started playing in a band (with my buddies Blaz Mcsatler – Miki Maiden, Marko Pavlak and Tomaz Makan, all of them active members of the orchestra to this day. Thanx guys for everything). Furthermore I received 50 CDs of classical music as a gift and through them discovered a completely new world. I was about to become a devoted musician. So I could say: Thank you MUSE for helping MUSIC become my MUSE!

Today, 20 years later, I'm a professional classical saxophonist, grounding member of Trio Klavis, conductor, composer and arranger.

"Symphonic MUSE" was written in November 2018 and is dedicated to one of the biggest Muse fans I know – Mr. Marko Pavlak who helped enormously to make all this happen.

I actually can't believe that it took less than 3 months from the first written note to this recording being published. I spent November intensively working on the score, revising and improving it. Very little sleep. But great fun! I especially enjoyed arranging the song “Sing for absolution”, it is just made for big orchestra. I don't even want to think how it would sound with a full Symphonic Orchestra! Uff... :)

I'd also like to apologize to Muse for not using newer songs. There are just too many good ones and it was hard to pick! The new ones will come next time, I promise.

I hope you enjoy our performance and do check out our similar project from last year. Symphonic Iron Maiden. And if you have any questions, please be our guest and ask.
