KANSAS CITY, Mo. - s4story -- La'Nardo Myrick Sr., the Kansas City music producer known as Producer 9-0, has put more than 15 months into a $124,000 Baroque music project with collaborators from Ukraine and Russia. As the project takes shape, Myrick credits the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, with exposing him to classical music and broadening his sense of what he could do as a producer.

Myrick's work on the project spans composition, production, mixing and mastering. The pieces range from approximately three to 20 minutes and call for different kinds of attention. In a shorter piece, the musicians have only a few minutes to establish a theme and develop it. A longer work gives the ensemble room to bring a theme back in a different setting, shift the balance between soloists and the group, and let the listener hear how the parts fit together. Myrick has spent more than a year carrying those musical decisions from composition through the final stages of production.

The project draws on the Baroque tradition of Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel and Antonio Vivaldi. Interweaving melodies, ornamented phrases and the steady foundation of basso continuo give the music its character. For Myrick, the project is part of the legacy he wants to leave as a composer and producer.
