#looptober 3, on a *gear guy voice* Yamaha PortaSound PSS-130 that can only play two notes at once
#looptober 6, attempted creepy banjo, this didn't really come together nicely but as you can hear a baby was waking up next to me 😬
was inspired by @ItsTheManOnTheMoon to make *something* on banjo today
it's 3 tracks recorded separately then stuck together, and ew, I don't like how they mesh, oh well whatever
I think if the "lead banjo" were any other instrument it would've blended a little better
#looptober 7, it's past midnight but this was super fun PICO-8 practice 😭
#pico8 #picotober #chiptune et al
#looptober 8, library 👏 outdoors 👏 coffee 👏 sleeping baby 👏 public rainbow-colored xylophone 👏
#looptober 9, ok, it was late, this is all I can offer, a #pico8 loop... I resisted the urge to install and start learning a new tracker at 11PM...
#looptober 10, back on the Yamaha PortaSound, just a blues riff while we have some quiet
#looptober 11, another #pico8 practice, ran out of time to flesh this out more 🚦
loop self crit
needed 10 more minutes...
the big arp that comes in is too loud. also it needs to do more than just repeat those 4 chords. and that background tone that joins around 25 sec or whatever neither sounds good nor adds anything interesting.
oh well gotta make #12 tonight
@touk this is great! Very eerie
@Louisa 🙏 you would know! spooky expert
@touk sympathies :(
I do like it, though - it feels like a classic videogame BGM loop for a zone where you're in danger but not being attacked yet.

@touk oooh real nice
@touk lovely! And a bit lonely too
@Louisa well it really took off in minute two!!!! (aka I messed up too much so just cut it there)
@touk that's the key to art, editing
@touk Ooo, this is nice! I like the way you performed this, and the style of it.

@packbat 🙏 I think this will be my method... if I have time for the laptop, make something there, if not, record something quick on an instrument
@touk gorgeous!
@touk yessssss
@touk ohh, this is super fun!
- a Packbat 🎒
@touk real meeting-the-Devil-at-the-crossroads kinda music
@touk I like the idea of this! I'm sorry about the interruptions.
- a Packbat 🎒
@packbat no sympathy needed! thanks though
@touk ooh dungeon vibes
@touk love how it just starts going full avant garde at 40s but, since you maintained the rhythm and progression you established using those first 40s, it still sounds perfectly coherent!
@touk that's very fun! I like your PICO-8 glitches - you used the tool well!
- a Packbat 🎒 🎧 ✨
@touk love it. would you mind if I sample it and use it for some granular stuff?
@oleksiy go for it!
@touk thanks! then it'll be in my next looptober (probably tomorrow)
@oleksiy chop away 🎧
@touk I like it! It's a good riff!
- a Packbat 🎒
@touk this is great hold music
@Aleums lol please PLEASE license it from me, Aleums Corp Inc.!!
@touk very cool! I love the percussion loop and the sub-bass and all the little weird sound-effect-y details.
- Packdragon maybe 🐲 (?) ✨
@touk very cheery!
@touk sounds like a friendly town theme for some kind of jrpg
@oleksiy Always wanted to make a goofy topdown RPG but I never had a good idea to start one 🤷♂️
@touk I've once seen a video of some indie developer saying that he started making some game because he found some chord progression that sounded like a good soundtrack. you can also start with this track :)
#looptober 2, some Bb / F via cheap Casio via phone
