Album Notes

"Heavy Metal Paperclip" is the first single release from the upcoming CD "Beyond The Boneyard". This cutting-edge solo project features multi-instrumentalist DJ DKO performing live remixes using Ableton live via electric & acoustic trombone, keyboards, and an iPad running the brand new Lemur App! This one man band is truly a unique display of performance ingenuity, improvisation, composition and technological innovation. "Beyond The Boneyard" is a project that pushes the boundaries of the typical trombone stereotype as well as that of the traditional DJ.

The title "Heavy Metal Paperclip" is used here to suggest several things...
1. The trombone is a brass instrument that resembles the shape of an actual paperclip.
2. The French word for trombone is "paperclip".
3. Heavy Metal is an adjective used with both definitions in mind ...Brass is a heavy metal and heavy metal is a musical style
