Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Here's another little jazzy study I recorded in a spare moment—this is 'Told Ya So', by Charles Colin!🎶 040
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Here's another little duo that I recorded recently with @rahulvanamali.com! I really love what he did with this! youtu.be/gmo1KkilzF0youtu.beAngelo Di Pippo - 'Straight Ahead' (EWI Duet)YouTube video by Soundole 2 000
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Here's the first of two little jazzy duos that I put together recently with @rahulvanamali.com! Rahul has a knack for knowing exactly what a track needs to work, and his performance elevates this work so much!youtu.beLennie Niehaus - 'Jazz Invention No. 1' (EWI Duet)YouTube video by Soundole 2 000

Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Here's another little study that I made time to record recently! It has a few tricky corners; I don't think this is perfect, but I think this is decent for a single-take! youtu.be/aXDeF6ioBgEyoutu.beFranz Wilhelm Ferling - No. 72 from '144 Preludes and Etudes'YouTube video by Soundole 2 030

Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My son made a really cool pneumatic engine design yesterday (way better than my attempts to do so!)

Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My submission to this year's PICO-1K game jam is finished! This is 'Connect 1024', a one-player version of Connect Four, fitting into 1k of compressed code. You can play it in your browser, here: soundole.itch.io/connect-1024 Thank you @liquidream.bsky.social for running this inspiring jam again! 032
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's submitted! You can now play 'Connect 1024' in-browser here: soundole.itch.io/connect-1024 #PICO8 #pico1ksoundole.itch.ioConnect 1024 by SoundoleSingle-player Connect Four in 1024 compressed bytes! 010
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I had a few bytes left over, so I worked in a night-mode option! I'm not optimising the size any further, because it's exactly 1024 compressed bytes, befitting its name: Connect 1024😁 #PICO8 #pico1k 140
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oops, almost didn't code for this outcome! #PICO8 #pico1k 130
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm proud to play a small part in this epic production! 140
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I've spritzed up the graphics a bit, and added sound effects. It's still only at 943 compressed bytes, so I might try to make a version that fits into 1k uncompressed, as a challenge! #PICO8 #pico1k 151
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Back to work on this! I think I have to leave the (very basic) AI as it is; I had an idea for it to seek out groups of 3 as well as 4, but I ended up with inelegant execution which didn't actually work. So I think I'll just polish this up! #PICO8 #pico1k 120
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Unbelievably cool. I really appreciated the details of your procedural generation, that's such an efficient approach! 020
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It's still over 1k, but the code is still documented; there's loads of stuff to cut out to trim it down, even before structural optimisations. I think I'll be able to squeeze a few presentation niceties into the finished game. (video rip is a little busted but it's smooth in-person!) #PICO8 #pico1k 130
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The AI is implemented! It even blindsided me once during testing😅 #PICO8 #pico1k 130
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I got win-state detection going! That '8' in the corner shows that colour 8 (red) has a winning line. #PICO8 #pico1k 130
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm starting to put a little something together for the #pico1k jam! I thought it would be a fun challenge to make a playable single-player version of Connect Four in 1k, but I'm not sure if it's possible yet (if not, I can default to 2 player only!) 194
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I was already impressed, but my jaw dropped when I saw the fluid simulation!! 100
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I really like the balance between technical work and expressivity in this little etude by Blatt!🎶 youtu.be/WIsYu-YBrrMyoutu.beF. T. Blatt - No. 11 from '24 Technical Exercises for Clarinet'YouTube video by Soundole 2 020
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Seeing people literally say 'it looks like shit' makes me just want to go offline for a while. How addicted must one be to yucking others' yum to have a miserable reaction to that trailer? 010
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 08/09/2026My wife and I have made this joke watching this trailer multiple times. I was really surprised to find some acerbic detractors on bluesky following that direct. Everything about that was jaw-dropping to me! 010

Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 13/08/2026That's such an elegant idea! Is your algorithm just using random x positions for each vertex (within the range of each side of the screen), with each segment having the same vertical height? Or are there other constraints I'm not seeing too? 110
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 10/08/2026As a multi-disciplinary work? I can see the parallels to that. Most of both require teams of experts to produce. Without narrowing in on certain genres, though, the parallels are loose: stuff happens on a screen and you interact with it stuff happens on a stage and someone sings at some point 110
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 10/08/2026This is number 12, 'Bounce' from Charles Colin's '35 Original Studies in Modern Rhythms'. I always find recording these studies to be humbling—they're simple on the page, but maintaining a precise internal metronome is a challenge (not to say I'm all the way there, yet!) 110
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I feel like the tricky corners of this etude always catch me by surprise—the opening is quite accessible, but managing stamina and hitting that high G at the end nicely is a challenge! youtu.be/Z87w_fnHCccyoutu.beAlfred Uhl - Clarinet Etude No. 2YouTube video by Soundole 2 000
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I made a little trio recording of a traditional English tune last night!🎶 010
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I think the fact that 'looks like AI' is such a pejorative is a good sign for future culture. We've tried to steer my son away from AI reels and he's thankfully pretty accepting of that. But it's scary—without our intervention, he would absolutely rot himself for hours in front of them. 121
Soundole🌱 @soundole.bsky.social · 30/07/2026After a bit of experimentation, I managed to cobble together a single-piston pneumatic engine out of Lego Technic!
