DJ WHITE RAINBOW – “THOUGHTS?” aka “Trader Joe’s Gift Card Audio Service” aka “Focus VS Float” aka “Salad Inspirational”

flights of fancy,
works in progress,
re-appropriation,
various vague ideas,
investigations into shifting aesthetic values,
distracted fractal discoveries,
looped and submerged repetitions,
various grooves,
clouds,
drifts,
shimmers
and refracted thoughts
focus and float

Adam Forkner aka WHITE RAINBOW is a music producer and musician with a wide range of credits, influences and ideas. Starting his career in the late 90s with Northwest space-rock youth-group Yume Bitsu (K Records), Forkner emerged as WHITE RAINBOW in the early 00s with explorations into sound for stalwart labels Kranky, Marriage, States Rights, Yarnlazer, Gnar and others. Along the way he has collaborated with a bevy of heavies, from Jackie-O Motherfucker to the Dirty Projectors to Little Wings and Devendra Banhart to Yellow Swans, Valet, and Rob Walmart. He even had a wacky R&B duo for a while. A studio nut, he’s recently moved to Los Angeles after two decades in Portland, OR. He’s still adjusting to the weather and need for perpetual sunglasses.
