New “Clouded Yellow” remixes out now

We are thrilled to announce that Cantaloupe Music released two remixes of music from our most recent album Michael Gordon: Clouded Yellow today.

Clouded Yellow (David Harrington Remix) was produced in collaboration with Sunset Youth Services, a San Francisco-based nonprofit founded in 2003 to foster long-term stability and growth for in-risk youth and families through caring relationships and supportive services. This remix was created by Joel Tarman, Mali Q, Angelo Bishop and Kronos’ artistic director, founder and violinist David Harrington at UpStar Records, Sunset Youth Services’ youth-run record label and recording studio.

Clouded Yellow (Bill Frisell Remix) is arranged and engineered by Cantaloupe’s Adam Cuthbert and features additional guitar accompaniment by Bill Frisell.
