San Jose cellist and artistic director Cellista is currently touring behind, Pariah, the newly released conceptual fairytale album recorded under the duress of the pandemic at East West Studios in Los Angeles and mixed into 5.1.4 channels at legendary Skywalker Sound. Two dates have been to the tour, one in Colorado and the other in San Francisco where she just performed in front of a packed house at DNA Lounge for Apothecary Raree.
The multimedia piece blurs the lines between several disciplines and genres. The project tells the tale of Pariah, a woman cast out from her community for daring to speak truth to power. The story follows her exile from her home in Cloture, her encounters with apparitions, love, and her eventual acceptance of herself. Composed and arranged specifically for immersive audio, the operetta features the work of composers Mazz Swift, Joshua Icban, and Peter Colclasure along with performances from actress Dawn L. Troupe, soprano Carla Canales and Hilary Whitmore, rapper Demone Carter, beatboxer Track IX, poet and journalist Gary Singh.
