Big Noise From Winnetka | Pocket Operator

My first back garden jam of 2024. The tune dates from 1938, and was composed by Bob Haggart and Ray Bauduc. It started out as an instrumental jam, with double-bass, whistled melody and lots of drums. The tune caught on, lyrics were added, and it appeared in vintage movies etc. But just check out this brilliant Black&White version by the Bobcats here on RUclips • The BOBCATS " Big Noi...
In case you're wondering, Winnetka is an affluent suburb of Chicago, about 16 miles north of the centre. The movie Home Alone was set in Winnetka. And they also have this tune, so it culturally, it punches above its weight.
Gear used: 4 x Pocket Operators, Hart Loop Mixer and, making its debut in one of my tunes, the mighty Pikocore by Infinite Digits. That's the thing which looks like half a Pocket Operator on the end of the line.

I love the enthusiasm and energy behind this. So trippy and blippy. Awesome work!

Thanks, mutual appreciation going on here. Small world of people recording songs for multiple Pocket Operators in 2024

Ace stuff! Sounds like star wars cantina music, a symphony for droids haha. Hope the guys at Teenage Engineering get to see this, I think it's what they had in mind when they designed the gear.

Thanks very much, symphony for droids is a great title. Sadly, I think TE are way past caring about Pocket Operators these days. They've forsaken the cheap end of the market.

ok. not nearly as hard as actually playing the song on drums or bass, but ok.
