Shoutout! is a new collaboration between Helix Collective and Composers Diversity Collective!

This album includes 12 original works created by composers of the Composers Diversity Collective. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Helix Collective shifted recording work to all-remote sessions with musicians recording from up-to-date studio setups from their individual homes. The album was recorded entirely by remote recording with ensemble artistic director, Phil Popham, coordinating, mixing, and, keeping the ensemble together through the project. The project was made possible in part by the generous support of the L.A. County COVID-19 Arts Relief fund administered by the L.A. County Department of Culture.
