Hey y'all. I'm kind of frustrated with the local scene cuz all I can find in Portland is people wanting to do stale old fart boomer covers and note for note rehearsed verse chorus verse "originals". But you know what? Marc Rebilett and Reggie Watts don't do anything like that and they have millions of followers. MILLIONS!!! Every second with them is an in the moment improvisation and the people love it.
I'm basically looking for some uniquely creative friends to make some on the fly in the moment honest to god improvised beat music with. Because at the end of the day, I need a partner(s) to perform with in public the way Marc does by himself in front of crowds. I just don't have the balls/pussy for that kind of thing. I play synth, keys, and electric trumpet and have my own RC505 loopstation.
You, hopefully, have an innate sense of rhythm, are capable of listening to and responding to the person you are playing with instead of playing next to someone as if you are the only person in the world with a pair of ear plugs glued into your ears, and utilize music theory more from the heart than the head. I think constantly studying music theory is a good thing but when you're playing with people I just think that if you aren't feeling your way through the concepts you are overthinking shit and not studying efficiently. And like Kenny Beats says: Don't Over Think Shit! Maybe you play an instrument, maybe you are a good freestyle rapper or vocalist comedy genius with some deranged funny lines to add to the beats I make. It's all about the energy!!!! Please, if you have an open mind and a groove that comes from within, let's meet up and goof off together.
