Recently, Polyop’s visual artist Alex Kempton was clearing out his Dad’s attic, only to find an old oscilloscope which hadn’t been turned on since 1978. After dusting off and powering up the device, a square wave appeared on the screen. Appearing to be sentient, the square wave claimed that it had been trapped inside the machine, but also that it “didn’t really give a fuck”, because it’s “just a square wave”.

Alex powered the machine back down returning it to the attic where it belongs, but not before capturing the strange waveform on tape.

For the title track, Polyop transformed the recording and turned it into a punchy bubblegum-acid-breaks number. Hear the classic God Break combined with some wiggly Juno-60 filter-work to make your body pulse.

POLYOP have achieved the impossible, enabling you to fully experience what it’s like to become a self perpetuating inter-dimensional worm with a new Instagram augmented reality filter, and acid-electro track LeapWerm.

Sadly, the Instagram filter is no longer live (RIP), but you can still watch a video of how it felt to be a worm.

Inspired by the pheromone traces ants leave behind to co-ordinate their movements, Polyop start the first trace, a percussion heavy acid track, which is reinforced by remixers Ratomagoson, Macaulay Sulkin and the RRC.

'Ceremony' is the first release from Polyop. With their own take on acid house, they take the subject on a hypnotic journey through an alternate sonic-visual reality. This release also comes alongside a WebGL Immersive Visualiser.
