about

This is the fourth beat I added to my live performance set. I sampled the drums from a Barry White record called “The Love Unlimited Orchestra: Rhapsody in White” the song was “Barry’s Theme.” It was a great find at the Goodwill, especially in Cedar Rapids. Thus far I’ve been trying to keep my descriptions as informative and accurate as possible but I just sifted through a whole bunch of records and couldn’t find the record I thought had the brass and vocal samples I used. I’m pretty sure it was some sort of late 70’s top hits type of record. Anyway, I played around with the samples for a while and worked out a nice sequence, then I layered a heavier kick under the drum sample to give it more thump. When it came time to record I added the bass line in Logic and thought I was a genius. That bass is not a sample, I played each note! I still think I’m a genius when I think about it. This beat is really fun to perform, unfortunately it is impossible to play the bass line live unless I loop the beat, and I haven’t even tried to work that into the set yet. I had the opportunity to invite DJ Mahf up on stage in at The Lift in Dubuque, IA during the Dr. Gonzo tour. It was only the second time I performed it and he had never heard it. We destroyed that shit! After my set he told me that Colorless approached him and said: “for a split second I forgot I knew you guys; I thought I was at a national show.” I considered my ego boosted. In the future something more might come of this. I have a melody in my head that needs to be sung on this beat. I need to write the words. I’ll sing it if I have to….
