So, I got a bad cold and/or the flu and my brain was killing me. These first couple days were pretty rough as a result.
looptober 2026
I participated in looptober again this year, a project where you generate a short bit of looped music every day of the month. I had a couple of intentions in mind:
- Don't spend too much time on a loop
- Don't worry too much about the actual 'looping' aspect, since essentially anything in Strudel is already a loop.
- Don't worry about being perfect or even all that close
- Don't worry about being on schedule or even doing one every day -- I got the flu early in the month and that wrecked me for awhile.
Anyway, I ended up making 31 pieces of varying quality. Here they are:
- 1st

2nd
Still sick :(
3rd
4th
Here's a little ambient noise.
5th
I was really just messing around with this one. The weird talking sample is from the old C64 game Impossible Mission.
6th
7th
Playing with delays and feedback and it's pretty minimal otherwise.
8th
I was just messing around here although I like the sound of it alot.
9th
This is a bit of a (not really) riff on Hold Yuh.
10th
Fairly daft punkish
11th
This one's just weird.
12th
I started playing with pulse modulation and went from there. There's some okay stuff in here.
13th
Lucky 13
14th
15th
Moody waves
16th
I've been obsessed with the sounds of the mellotron ever since I heard Thumb for the first time. I've got samples of it and I'm always trying to fit them into things.
17th
Moody loons
18th
This is just sort of loud. It's based on some random code snippets I had lying around from other stuff.
19th
This has a cool sort of sound to it.
20th
21st
I like this, it's probably one of my favorites, the arpeggio is fun.
22nd
This starts off daft punkish and then veers off
23rd
basically the same drums as the 22nd but quite a bit different otherwise.
24th
I started with the drums on this and then sort of went from there.
25th
Having made 25 of these I start to lose track if they're any good or even interesting. Anyway this one has a casio in it.
26th
27th
This one is pretty basic but bloopy in a way I'm enjoying.
28th
Playing with some samples.
29th
30th
I'm livecoding in Cambridge on Noveember 6 and i think streaming too -- this is a bit of a preview.
31st
Last one! Really just messing around here.
