Dreamy and ethrel music from the Black Sea 

Dreamy and ethereal - music from the Black Sea
 
If Mircan were a boy, she would have been thought autistic. The shy child was thought dumb when instead she was listening to the voices in her head. Voices gave way to music, speech to her highly powerful mode of singing.
The adult Mircan is singer, mother and engineer combined. On this album, a third of the song titles are in English, reflecting her love of the language and perhaps her determination to do things her own way.
The songs are quite filmic in nature, jazz instrumentals sway under long vocal notes held for an eternity as on the title track. Bird call breaks in, dark and foreboding cellos warn you off, waves lap, zithers zither and Mircan casts her spell across these ten tracks.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Mircan Kaya is freed by her day job as an engineer to pursue her music with a singular vision. Her voice ranges from etheral to dutsy, through pain and joy, always true to some deep and wise river of sound that flows through her to our ears. INSULA may be the deepest yet.”
