Marko Ivic Finds Connection On New Album ‘When I entered there was a room’

Marko Ivic chimes with beauty on new album ‘When I entered there was a room’.

The composer longs for a unique sense of atmosphere in his work, ranging from the notes themselves down to the instruments used, and even the room her records in. Working over a lengthy series of months, Marko Ivic has gradually brought his debut album into focus, maintaining control over every minute aspect.

Out now, ‘When I entered there was a room’ contains some powerful compositions, working from Studio 150 in Amsterdam. Reminiscent of Olafur Arnalds work in places, or even Hania Rani, Marko’s work takes on a flavour of its own.

Working at a sombre pace, the sonorous melodies are allowed to billow outwards, achieving a kind of self-enhanced conversation.

Marko comments…

This album explores the vast potential of a concert grand piano interacting with live audio processing. The result is a collection of pieces rich in rhythm, pulse and delays, but also full of colour, lyricism, and emotionally charged landscapes.

The idea behind the album title is to portray music as a space where you can connect with yourself—your inner reflections, thoughts, emotions, and what you want to express. The ‘when’ signals a possibility: if you choose to go inward, you will find a space that has room for you.

Tune in now.
