I've Been Participating in Looptober 2024
21 October, 2024I've been participating in Looptober this month!
For the unfamiliar, Looptober is a Fediverse/Mastodon music making challenge. Participants make daily-ish short music tracks and post them under #Looptober. Most submissions are electronic (us electronic people are fans of loops), but I've seen guitar, piano, and other tracks around too. I made a particularly non-standard one for day 17 by recording myself tapping on a water bottle and adding some effects to that.
It's been a busy month for me, so I haven't been posting anything near daily with it. But that's not really the point - I've made and shared some chunks of music I'm proud of. That doesn't happen every month! You can listen to them by searching for posts from my Mastodon account tagged #Looptober2024. I've also collected them all on this page for posterity.
If you want to see some of what other people have been making, check out this page maintained by Stefan Bohacek. Or browse #Looptober on your Fediverse instance of choice.
And if you're interested in participating, there's still time! It's a very low-pressure event and a great way to actually finish and share a bit of music.
