it's advent calendar time on botb! (starting in two hours from this post)
this is my favorite event of the year! i've participated the last two years, and in particular last year i did something for all 24 days. there's a prompt and a specific format every day (like what system/chip/software to write for, or other such restriction) and you have only that day to make a song in that format (or occasionally other piece of art like pixel art). then it's gone! it's quick, but comparably lax versus the classic One Hour Battle.
i learned a lot both of the last two years, so i'm really excited to see what happens this month! it's a great time, especially when a less common format comes up and everyone is collectively learning in realtime trying to decipher what to do and how to approach it. truly feels like a community coming together
here's the playlist of all the music i made last year!
woohoo!
