Collage by DYSK PhotographyAfter dropping their debut two-track EP on Cavity Search Records back in June, Korgy & Bass (drummer Barra Brown and bassist Alex Meltzer) have continued to experiment with samplers and synthesizers making hip-hop beats and playing around in the studio.
Wanting to give audiences a little visual insight into their process and how they actually play their music, Korgy & Bass are back with a new track, "Training Day," and it comes paired with a video made by Brown.

Setting up a some cameras in Brown's studio space, "We really wanted to show what the two of us are actually playing. What you are seeing is essentially a mix of our live show and studio recording process."
"The idea for the song started with the train bells," Brown continues. "Alex takes the MAX to work everyday and noticed that the bell's pattern at the station was a cool, odd-metered rhythm, and thought it would make a good basis for the phrasing of the song. He recorded it and created the sample that appears in the track. We chopped up a classical piano piece and an old soul record to create the melodic material and added a little bass and some drum smashing."
As for what's next: "We have lots of new material in the works for an upcoming full-length release," Brown says. "We've got a single finished featuring Catherine Feeny and Dusty Fox of Two Planets."
