ranjitLooptober 2025 #1: when the pumpkins come marching in
(most of my looptobers will have sudden endings because they're designed to be loopable)
Looptober 2025 #3: Conshohocket
edit: replaced the audio with one that should loop cleanly
Looptober 2025 #5: Fantadro
Trying to recreate the theme to Fantadroms, a Latvian animated tv series from the 1980s which had way more shape-shifting space animals hugging and kissing than any other children's cartoon I know of. However, I haven't heard it in a year or two and this is the best I could come up with. Maybe I'll go listen to the real thing now.
Looptober 2025 #6: I saw a tiny skunk
sorry about the voice but i saw a tiny skunk!
Looptober 2025 #7: Cistern rerun
I don't want to stop listening to @WFMU long enough to make a new loop so instead I'll cheat by rerunning this favorite from 2021 that has more or less the same feeling I'd been planning to go for today
Looptober 2025 #8: Bingo sketch
A tune I've had stuck in my head for years - this probably isn't the last time it'll sneak out.
It's supposed to be Steeleye Span-influenced. Can you hear it?
Looptober 2025 #9: Crab Waltz
You could say that a crab waltzes in 9/8 time (one more than the number of walking legs), or in 12/8 time (50% more than the number of walking legs). I have chosen to go with 9.

Looptober 2025 #11: Fugue 11
Fugue 11 from Bach's WTC Part I, but sped way up and played on a pair of drum kits. Turn it up loud! 🤘

Looptober 2025 #23: as long as the guitar is out
(i think it's obvious that i have no idea how to play guitar - but I *can* make a nearly-seamless loop)

I didn't quite make it to 31 looptobers this year, but here's another promo for Slip Gear, my droney noisy band with Thessia Machado, playing Sat Nov 8 at CuteLab in Gowanus, Brooklyn!
Everything in the video is an actual instrument we'll be playing.
