The trumpet sequence in the chorus of The White Dove Sailed was pulled from a license-free copy of a sample of the Indiana Jones movie theme. I grabbed four notes that I thought would fit and dropped them into the chorus expecting to have to play around with the pitch and speed of the sample. To my amazement, the trumpet blast happened to be in exactly the right key and even fit the pacing of the song. More serendipity. It’s not my favorite song but I love the trumpets, the sliding bass and the distorted voicing and the lyrics are strange, but they have meaning for me. Almost all of this string of words came out while driving. (Hey, I’m worried about my sanity too so you’re not alone.)
