Cody
Brown is an alumni of Voices Behind Walls. He brought a lot of
creative ideas to VBW with his knowledge of music production, not only
as a Hip Hop beat maker, but also someone who knows how to play
instruments. He's also a brilliant song writer and lyricist MC/poet.
In many ways, like key players before him, he changed the course of our
workshop and opened up the technical possibilities for how we recorded
and what we could do with the limited equipment and software we had
available. Through Cody we were able to dream big in what was our goal
for the youth themselves to have input along with others on the
development of a studio inside of the detention center.
Upon
his release from incarceration Cody continued with his music including
the instrumental project featured above that Cody produced and uploaded
onto his Soundcloud. It is a remix of the Melanie Fiona single 4 A.M.
off of The MF Life released in 2012.
Along
with our own recordings, the VBW Justice Archive will feature audio
downloads from participants and affiliates of the program.
The Voices Behind Walls (VBW) Justice Archive is a collection of audios, artworks, photographs, and writings archived on the following:
VBW Research Network Blog: vbwresearch.blogspot.com
VBW YouTube: youtube.com/voicesbehindwalls
VBW Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/vbehindw
The purpose of the archive is to document VBW program history, specifically the creative expression of its participants and program partners. Files of the VBW Justice Archive are resources for educators, youth, and the public to share. We hope these files inspire new ideas and other creative expressions in all learning spaces. The archive is especially to acknowledge the existence of its participants, a majority incarcerated youth, who recorded into the VBW microphone between the decade of 2004 to 2014. Hopefully you all find your way back to our page to reflect on your contribution to the VBW program.
The VBW Justice Archive began documenting its program history in 2014. Audios will be posted periodically. Updated will be posted at the links above including twitter.com/vbehindw.
