Duck and Cover!

This one was thrown together during a particularly hectic day of delayed flights, airport sitting, turbulence, etc. This is what the M8 was made for! I was able to get this almost done, last week's track most of the way there, and two others sketched in.
I was tickled when my twitchy sampling of vintage newsreels inspired mukti to use the Duck and Cover newsreel in their track. Had I not swapped tracks to post Out of Space last week there would have been two tracks with these samples! Anyway. While mukti's PRETA uses these samples ominously in a nice, dark track (it's excellent, please listen to it), I went the exact opposite way to create something cartoonish and silly. Looking back with what we know about the atomic bomb these days, it's a ridiculous "informational" newsreel that in one breath tells how the bomb will blow entire buildings down, and yet in another explains that even a newspaper will help protect you.
This is why I have trust issues (and a dark sense of humour).
I had fun randomising the note slides on a bass patch to create weird bubbly things.
