Therefore, is there a particular song you like more? What about one from Center of the Great Unknown? A.M: I believe every member of the band has another favorite song. For me, now, “King of the World” is the best Magica song and I am constantly contradicted by the rest of the band. T.A.O: Ana, your voice is powerful and impressive. Have you ever considered the possibility of a live concert or DVD with an orchestra? A.M: Thank you! I don’t deny the fact that we’d like to be able to accomplish something like that, but a project of this magnitude requires a very big financial effort, which is impossible for Magica now. T.A.O: What do you think about classical albums and concerts? Have you ever thought about doing such projects? A.M: I’ve been working for about 20 years in the “Oleg Danovsky National Opera Theatre Costanta”, always working with orchestra and classical music, but I don’t think Magica will ever have anything to do with the orchestration of that genre as Bogdan really insists on Magica remaining a metal band T.A.O: 5 years ago you were invited to sing with Axxis. If you were to have such an experience again, with whom would you like it to be? A.M: Yes, they were 2 extraordinary months and a formidable experience for me. If I were to dream, I’d like to go on tour with Kamelot, but with Roy Khan as a front man. T.A.O: After all these tours and cities you have seen, how does Constanta stand in your heart? Is there any comparison with other occidental cities? A.M: I can’t say that Constanta is the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen because I would be lying, but for now I can’t see myself living anywhere else. Bogdan has proposed more than once to move somewhere in the heart of the European metal action, but I just can’t leave from here. T.A.O: Although touring must be dynamic and agitated, how does an usual day in Ana Mladinovici’s life at Constanta go? A.M: I’ve recently put aside life on the tour to take care of Alma, my 6 months old baby girl. So an usual

day goes like this: wake up, put on a big metal playlist on YouTube, prepare the milk for Alma, say hello to online friends, change Alma, prepare vegetables for Alma, go for a walk in the park, get back home, bathe Alma, sing with her (la la la, ghe ghe ghe), prepare dinner and off to bed. T.A.O: Lastly, as the winter holidays are approaching, what would you wish for the new year and what message would you like to send to your fans? A.M: I would like to move to a bigger apartment and wish to be as healthy as possible. I want to thank our fans for all their support and invite them on www.facebook.com/metalmagica where we can keep in touch. Thank you Teen Art Out! interview by Simona Mihalca & Ioana Gaurean
