The latest in Kyoto producer TOYOMU’s productive 2016 output, Polygon Noise finds the young artist once again zooming off in an unexpected direction. He’s sampling again, but this time he’s seemingly mining from 8-bit sources to create a sparse, tinny five-song set (it has been a long time since I played Red or Blue, so…

NITES either really really likes “It’s Twinkle” or he thinks it could use some reworking…spoiler alert, I’m pretty sure it’s option one.
