CARM - Carm Ii - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The music of CARM features horns in roles typically reserved for drums, guitars, and voices, while also escaping the genre categorizations reserved for music featuring an instrumentalist as bandleader. It is not jazz or classical music, nor is it a soundtrack. This is contemporary popular music that features a sound normally used as a background color and texture as the unabashed lead voice.According to CARM, aka CJ Camerieri, InchIt started with the question 'What kind of record would my trumpet-playing heroes from the past make today?' I believe they would want to work with the best producers, beat makers, song-writers, and singers to create new, truly culturally relevant music, and that's what I sought to do with this project.Inch Produced in Minneapolis by Ryan Olson (Polica, Lizzo) and featuring collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Yo La Tengo, Shara Nova, Mouse on Mars, Francis and the Lights and many others. It is a completely unique sound that additionally serves as a survey of the collaborations that have come to define the artist's career thus far.Says Vernon, InchI truly believe there isn't a more accomplished brass player in the entire world of music. And this is way more than a 'horn' record. It's a discovery of new heights with what is possible in creating music.InchThe album begins with an orchestral brass choir of French horns, which quickly gives way to a piano sample of Francis and the Lights, as Stevens and Luppen combine voices over a rich bed of horns to sing InchSong of Trouble.Inch The album bookends with the same piano sample used as a springboard to a beautiful and iconic lyric by Vernon in the album closer InchLand.Inch Between these two generation-defining artists we have the upward sweeping melodies in InchSoft Night,Inch fanfares reminiscent of Ennio Morricone in InchNowhere,Inch and the uncompromisingly original
