DEATH OF THE BEAT​-​LESS

about

I've been wanting to do this kind of recording since 1984, but I never got around to it, mostly because I'm not a drummer. I wanted to record a song in the spirit of Sandy Nelson's "Birth of the Beat," but I wanted it to be a bit oddball and sloppy, and I didn't want it to have a bunch of garbage that would be considered mistakes. Since I'm not even a drummer to this day (I just play AT drums), I decided to combine a few beats I've had in my head over the years and make an entire recording of it. To my surprise, it turned out a bit decent, or at least, acceptable. It's not going to blow any drummer away, nor am I going to get a bunch of accolades for my performance, but I did capture the feeling that I wanted, hence 'The DEATH of the BEAT.....less.' The performance was a bit smoother than I anticipated for the song, but I'm okay with that. For this song, I took what I could get, and I did it all in one take.
This is song #651.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
