Maximum Mini Ep

The Maximum Mini EP Released December 2010 on CJ3 Music (CJ3-0002) Secret Orchestra is an original music group initiated by Clif Jackson in 2007. After the trio had already played together as a rhythm section in various other projects it became apparent that they had a connection and shared some similar musical ideas. However, they also brought their very different backgrounds into the mix creating a strong dynamic and a wide spectrum of musical space to play in. The trio released it's debut recording in the form of a two track EP (The Maximum Mini EP) on CJ3 Music. It features two contrasting pieces, one by Ms. Fujiyama and the other by Mr. Jackson, which highlight this dynamic. Through a mix of composition and improvisation the overall musical aesthetic is grounded in a sense of direction and an exploration of colors, textures, silence, and rhythmic and melodic structures.
