While Mina keeps producing scores for film and TV, making full use of her expertise in orchestration and programming, her techniques and skills have translated into 11 piano pieces. You may find yourself wandering in a mystical labyrinth as you listen to these masterpieces depicting scenes from everyday life; the more you listen, the more you will love them.
