Discography.
„Everything that has gone through Damir's life and musical upbringing comes to fruition in this album. Multiple influences, hard work and contemplation. With this top class band he has created an album that showcases great musical variety and emotional width. Above all, it's great to hear when someone finds his voice with the trumpet and in music. It's a long journey that has taken him there and I get the feeling it's nowhere near the end!”
— Valentin Garvie, Ensemble Modern
BABYLON ORCHESTRA
„Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik" Winner 2020 (World music)
„Exactly the same as Charlie Parker’s classic „Now it the time”, I felt that „Babylonia Paranoia” is exactly what Babylon ORCHESTRA needed at the time when I was composing and arranging it.
The technical and musical diversity of the piece helped this orchestra work even more closely together and explore all of its possibilities in just one piece.”
— Damir Bačikin
GRADUATION DAY
„For those who hear this album for the first time, it takes a while to understand the full package of the sound. What the Serbian born, Berlin based trumpeter is offering is beguiling und fascinating at the same time.”
— Michael Stuerm, „Jazzthing", Germany
