This page contains my submissions to Looptober 2024! 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.

You can also find these as posts from my Mastodon account tagged #Looptober2024. I post there quicker than I update this page.

If you want to see some of what other people have made, check out this page maintained by Stefan Bohacek. Or browse #Looptober on your Fediverse instance of choice.

Track Listing

My favorite tracks are marked with a *.

Day 30

Love the filter knob. It's a good knob.

* Day 29

I think this would be classified as IDM? It's getting there through sheer modulation making the sounds unrecognizable over time.

* Day 23

Solo played on the "Future Split" patch for the excellent open-source Surge XT synthesizer VST.

* Day 17

A particularly odd creation made by recording myself tapping on a metal water bottle and adding a phaser effect.

Day 16

Re-using the same Hydrasynth FM patch for both a bass line and some wobbly chords.

* Day 15

Overcomplicated but tonally rich Hydrasynth feedback-based bass patch.

Day 11

DMX samples and brass synth.

Day 9

Heavy reverb on a bass patch from Surge XT.

* Day 8

I do love consuming everything with noise.

Day 2

The bass in this is bouncy.

* Day 1

Some interesting stuff by modulating effects on percussion samples on my Digitakt.
