A new label imprint in association with Ropeadope records. Featuring artists produced by or affiliat The real deal, going In. Future art, future music. But now?
THE MISSION
In my musical life, my core concept has always been (consciously or not) to go deep. Deep emotionally, creatively, historically, authentic-true to form, genre, self etc. But also, go deep into what's happening right now, what will happen in the future. Every artist goes inside of themselves to tap into the many layers that could be informing us of what will come. I've been pushing myse
lf with every project to merge deep authenticity, historical weight with modern innovation. Muddy Waters hanging out with Brian Eno and James Blake. Duke Ellington with Hiatus Kaiyote and Vulfpeck.. There is a link. Fats Waller and Dizzy Gillespie - were probably received as progressive to people's ears in their day; ahead, but with deep roots. New, with an old soul. The goal of Modern Icon: Introduce new artists’ music to the world with a sound, message and feel that's substantial, timeless and Iconic. Music that is not temporary. The flip: Bring classic artists music into a forward edgier sound. Merge the worlds, create a new movement in the process. The future of music? It’s fair game and our only choice is to make the strongest possible statement. We have to really bring it, not just because of the state of transition in the music industry but because art is now reacting to the times-it has no choice. I think now is one of the most exciting times I've witnessed in my musical life. Those of us who didn't experience the 60s will never know how that felt, true.. Just watch, incredible sounds are emerging from this frenetic air we now find ourselves in. Adrian Harpham

My musical brother and friend of many, many years- Brockett Parsons put out a wonderful album last fall on my imprint(within Ropeadope Records), Modern Icon Recordings.. I also had the honor of producing, playing drums on and co-writing much of the material with him. It was an inspirational experience and possibly the fastest I've made a record, ever. A concentrated 4 months of writing and recording most days of the week-with most of the material recorded in composing stage being kept in the tracks themselves later. We explored all the various styles of music he was interested in and combined them as well. A blend of Prog rock, funk, classical, deep hip hop, electronica, jazz, fusion, avant garde-all residing in the end body of work. The goal was to make a record that was hot, forward and grooving- but also could stand up as high art-showcasing his powerful style and wide range as a pianist/keyboardist. Check out this cool interview with him and Louis H Marks. Highly illuminating in many ways on many topics
