Producing music is simple. Producing music well is another matter altogether. The GRAMMY-winning team at PARMA Recordings knows what it takes to do just that. Deliver a custom-recorded orchestral track for an international ad campaign on hours’ notice? Check. Capture the performance of a jazz ensemble live in the middle of the woods, amongst the trees? Check again. Produce symphonic music for a multimedia project and tour it internationally with our very own orchestra? Check. Music from our distributed labels has been featured in settings and situations from CBS to Carnegie Hall, Microsoft to the Musikverein, and Nintendo to National Geographic. Since 2008, PARMA has produced over 900 commercial releases, and has been nominated in two GRAMMY Award ceremonies (THE ARC IN THE SKY by Kile Smith and The Crossing, nominated for “Best Choral Performance” 2020; CARTHAGE by James Primosch and The Crossing, nominated for “Best Choral Performance” 2021).

Description

TAROT--my debut album with the superlative pianist Ellen Fast--aims to create repertoire for the catalog of contemporary art song for tenor and piano by utilizing the voices of a diverse cohort of young American composers, poets, and musicians.

This album has origins which go some years back to when I was working in Norway. On a day off spent wandering Oslo, I envisioned an album for myself which would feature songs of living American composers. The seed for TAROT germinated during many life changes, from personal illness to the tribulations of our greater world. A profound desire to reach out for understanding during such a dramatic period in my life found me riffling through the tarot deck once again.

Some of the pieces heard in this album had their genesis while I was resident tenor in the Composers & the Voice fellowship of the American Opera Project. The collaborators that make up the body of TAROT are people I am fortunate to call colleagues and friends, and I feel proud and grateful to be able to advocate for their craft--to stand alongside their work as an interpreter.

Through life and death, love and destruction, TAROT weaves itself by way of lyric and melodic line. This act of creation momentarily reacquaints us with the enigma of mortality but also asks us to consider what it means to be alive. It calls to us from the ether:

Beware the one who comes with rope.
