a mind in the heart is the third album by Serbian-born, Netherlands-based composer Ivan Vukosavljević, officially released on January 16, 2026.
Album Overview
The work is a collaboration with Portuguese pianist Joana Gama and was released through the TRPTK label. It is a solo piano piece consisting of eight movements.
Inspiration: The composition is deeply influenced by the melodic and spiritual qualities of medieval Serbian Orthodox Christian chants and sacred music from Vukosavljević's homeland.
Style: It blends contemporary music with classical piano, drone-like horizontal melodies, and the improvisational character of semi-unmeasured chants.
Media: A single and accompanying music video for the track "for Nata" was released in late 2025 to promote the album.
Premiere and Performances
The album's world premiere took place on January 17, 2026, at the Musical Utopias #8 festival (The Nature Edition).
Venue: Korzo Theater, Den Haag (The Hague), Netherlands.
Performer: Joana Gama performed the entire album live as part of the festival's Saturday evening program.
