The Making of Flying Kerfuffle (Patreon)

In November, I scored "The Giant Problem" from Element Animation.
It the middle there is a bit that I wrote in the interrogation scene where there is polka music. I listened to a LOT of polka music to get this to work. You can barely hear what I wrote, and it took way more effort than anyone would suspect. (those are all real instruments)
After figuring out what makes polkas work so well, I had the idea of doing a polka, but with modern club-style dance sounds. It didn't turn out like I was expecting, but it did turn out cool.
I always figured there was something derpy about having a tuba spitting out your bassline. A tuba is funny, don't get me wrong - but the actual notes are still funny on a synth.
This sort of assemblage is similar to the work of Jean-Jacques Perrey (the composer/producer who made "Baroque Hoedown" - the theme music from Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade).
