The Midium® interviews Piotr Raczynski of Polyend (Pt. 2)
October 17, 2024
The Polyend Tracker Mini was designed to be a fun music production environment, a system that is easier to use than its bigger sibling, and a more mobile platform than the Tracker itself. We interviewed Piotr Raczyński to see how Polyend went about creating the Tracker Mini and the approaches they took to meet their goals. Piotr Raczynski and Mitch Lantz walk us through the story behind the Polyend Tracker Mini, and show us the steps they took to make the tracker music production ecosystem easier and more accessible.
The Midium® interviews Christopher Hans of Expressive E
January 08, 2024
The Expressive E Osmose marks a paradigm shift in how the worlds of art and music view the traditional black-and-white keyboard: it goes from a series of on/off switches to presenting the player with deeply expressive keys where every movement matters. At NAMM, we interviewed Christopher Hans of Expressive E in order to learn more about the Osmose's origins, the company's history, and other key facts. Did you know that as of this writing the Osmose was designed to be easily serviceable and that it contains a majority of recyclable parts?
/// FEEDBACK FROM ARTISTS
"Met with the owner, one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! He offered to even deliver it himself! 10/10, do yourself a favor and order from this amazing new store!!"
– Darren C.
"Super fast shipping, great personal communication, and bespoke environmentally conscious packaging. Was really happy to have found one of these available (amazing unique synth) and couldn't have asked for more in acquiring it from The Midium. Thanks!"
– Ben D.
"If you are considering a purchase from The Midium, just do it. They are friendly, gracious, and provide outstanding service. Their communication is excellent, they ship quickly, and they are a joy to work with. Almost like that friendly neighborhood shop you had near you 20 years ago: a place you could go hang out, soak up all the music vibe, and chat with good people. Well, here it is again, online and at Reverb: your friendly neighborhood music shop. And GOMEZ will pack your box!"
– Ken C.
"Definitely the most thoughtful online transaction I've ever had. Quick shipping, extremely communicative, wrapped instrument, handwritten letter with amazing handwriting... Very impressive! Highly recommended, I will be back. I mean seriously this is probably the first time I've ever left a review longer than five words. Thank you!"
– Corbin C.
The Midium is awesome. Quick ship, great prices, and the nicest packaging I’ve ever gotten on Reverb and maybe anywhere else online as well. These guys are an awesome, small family biz (literally, employee #3 is like 8 months old 😏). Seriously y’all throw em yr biz, they are building something the right way.
– Johnathan C.
Cam, the co-owner of The Midium, goes above and beyond regular customer service. He himself drove 2 hours from L.A. to personally deliver the Lyra-8 I ordered from him, the very same day I placed the order! That’s unheard of. Even Amazon isn’t that fast! The way the product was packaged also shows the care and love they put into musical gear. I would absolutely order again from The Midium store if I have the chance!
– Stephan B.
