[Lyric] Polygon Dust - Commentary (Porter Robinson)

"I think that's my favourite title. On the album. I just think it's a cool name, "Polygon Dust". Ah, yeah, I was working with- I was making beats that were like really late-sounding? The best way I can describe it is Jay Delacour, and, to me it's like, beats that don't quite make sense, and they're syncopated weirdly, so like here's - I'll just beatbox into this mic here - like, uh one of those types of beats, it'd be like beatboxes. And when I was making those like kind of chopped and screwed beats, that don't really follow the grid, and while I was doing that I wrote this melody that was like 'bum-BAH-bum-BAH-bum-BAH-bum-BAH' and uh - man I really fucked up that two, that two minor down there - but uh, I, yeah I really liked that beginning, that 'buh-AH-buh-AH' and then wrote the rest of the melody, from there, 'cause I felt that that beginning was powerful but not really memorable. And yeah, that's where that hook came from, and uh, I was looking for vocal features, and Lemaitre totally had the sound - by the way, I pronounce that like 'la-met-H', I feel like I asked Madeon about that and he was like "Yes, it's 'la-met-H'." But yeah, that's "Polygon Dust"."
