Whispers of the Journey
Whispers of the Journey
Whispers of the Journey begins with a young princess dreaming at her castle window, longing for the worlds beyond. Drawn by wonder and starlit imaginings, she runs to the station, breathless with hope, boarding a train that carries her through enchanted landscapes. As the world passes in blurs of colour and light, she writes a timeless piece, each note shaped by the whispers of the journey. By journey’s end, she performs it at her destination a tribute to wonder, courage, and the magic that awaits those willing to follow their dreams into the unknown.
This solo piano work unfolds in three sections: anticipation, movement, and arrival. The opening captures the decision to leave and the emotional weight of departure. The middle section builds with momentum, echoing the steady rhythm of travel,
While the closing offers a gentle arrival, a place transformed by the act of journeying, yet open to the listener’s imagination. At its heart, Whispers of the Journey is about that quiet, magical space where possibility begins, the moment of leaving, the freedom of movement, and the hope of discovering something new.

Every note is inspired by the village’s timeless beauty, inviting listeners to experience the serenity, joy, and magic of a morning in Bibury.
Perle de Mer
Perle de Mer
Perle de Mer was born from a dream aboard a grand sailing ship in the South of France at sunset, surrounded by deep blue waters glowing with golden light. In this dream, people passed by unseen, as if I were a ghost a moment of profound realisation about the freedom and authenticity we find when no one is watching.
The piece, completed over two years, took its final form in August 2023 at a small pink hotel in the South of France, where an impromptu improvisation at the piano brought the introduction to life.
Structured in three sections, the music flows from the solitude of the open sea, through the quiet release of hidden emotions, to a transformative acceptance that all feelings are valid.
Like a pearl within its shell, Perle de Mer invites listeners to uncover their own delicate and deeply personal truths.

DREAMS is the voice of a timeless soul, a classical concert pianist, composer, and dreamer who reaches out from another realm. Mirana is an artist who belongs not to the present, but to a world bathed in the enchantments of ages past. Her heart is drawn to ancient castles where moonlight dances on stone walls, and her hands yearn to play a piano unlike any other, worn with the secrets of centuries. In this imagined world, every sound she creates, every gentle movement, and every delicate sweep of fabric is part of a ritual that brings a forgotten magic to life.
This album is an invitation into that enchanted world, a place where dreams awaken and the boundaries of reality dissolve. DREAMS is more than a collection of melodies; it’s a passage into hidden places that only exist beyond the edge of consciousness. Inspired by the beauty and elegance of the Romantic era, each piece unfolds a story that belongs to those who, like Mirana, feel most alive in the mysteries of night and dream.
With DREAMS, she shares a world without limits, a boundless realm where music becomes a tale of longing and wonder. Let these melodies carry you to a place where time fades, where each piece whispers a story only heard in dreams.
