Design. PARMA was responsible for artwork, marketing and the creation of a physical promotional and digital album, webpages, and all promotional materials. They did not do well on this.
Release. Master recording(s) were released on a multi-artist album “Dimensions Volume 4” of PARMA’s label imprint Navona.
Distribution. Digital distribution via Naxos
Publicity. PARMA did not promote the album to garner reviews, airplay, record sales, and other opportunities. Dissatisfied .
Live Performance. The work was performed by Martin Pavlik and the Brno Contemporary Orchestra, Early 2023. Unfortunately I could not attend.


I have composed an additional 30 seconds of music to provide a more thorough introduction to the third movement that I’ve felt missing since the piece’s first performance, introducing the child’s “taunt”.
