New Music – Yashi Brown & Clifford Notes “The Music Box”

admin — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:26:39 +0000

Please have a listen to the latest preview of my production work:

Yashi Brown & Clifford Notes present “The Music Box”

Yashi and I have produced a number of spectacular songs over the last three years. This is the first preview available to listen to.

The song features Yashi’s beautiful voice, in progressive tradition of her Jackson family heritage. Yours truly kicks out the rhymes on the bridge, as well as the bomastic Chicago big beat orchestration. And Allie Kral of Cornmeal fame lends her stellar violin work to the song, bringing the orchestrations to life.

Enjoy!

We had a blast playing (The Bored Of Education) at the Golan/Atomic Halloween party. Set up right on the Chicago river, it was a bash of a warehouse event. I debuted my “Auntie Samantha” character. Here’s a pic:

Clifford’s Notes #62

The time machine is the power of choice.

When I got the boot on my 17th birthday (They changed the locks), my mom proceeded to evict my band equipment into the driveway. Luckily my buddy Leroy came to save the day. We moved the equipment through the rain (Lord knows how) in (and on) his DMC-12.

Thank you Mr. Leroy Dunning for being there.

I stayed on the basement floor over at his place for a few weeks as it had hit the rocks with my girlfriend at the time (whom I was living with). She was damn near tossing my things out the window! That basement was cold - the concrete uncomfortable, but thank GOD my guitar and amp were 2 feet away!

To some come visions…
But to One comes visions of changing the world.
So come to view…
The world as One.
