The Polyend Tracker Mini is a magical little device that’s forcing me to approach music in a different way. Typically it uses very short samples in an almost multisampling context, but here I’ve pushed it to use longer voice samples from my ever-growing library of 70s TV commercial snippets that I’m preparing for my hauntology project.
The ‘Uh huh!’/’Cool clean taste’ bit is from a 1971 Certs commercial, and it’s deliciously mangled using the PT Mini’s granular engine. ‘Purely For Pleasure’, believe it or not, is taken from a 1971 Butterfinger commercial! The laugh you hear was from a CB radio transmission I captured over the holidays. The broken melody is just a Euclidean sequence I used to fill out the bar.
Anyway, it’s a fun little track that is a harbinger of weirder stuff to come. Stay tuned, space cadets!
